Movie Reviews of The Apple
Movie Review: Bad but not fun
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie fails in every department. A musical with bad songs (it was the first effort from the composer who later went on to score Mortal Kombat II and American Ninja III). Frequent dance scenes with dull choreography. A message movie with nothing to say. An earnest movie warning the audience about evil record producers, created by Golan/Globus, men who made a career of producing movies that cheated audiences.
It WAS fun to see such a flagrant gay sensibility in a 1980 movie. One dance number cut between firemen, construction workers, policemen in tights, and a biker gang in black leather. But the flip side of that is that the women's costumes weren't sexy: they were just weird.
The comparison between The Apple and Rocky Horror Picture Show is unfair. Rocky Horror had great songs, fine singers, a sense of humor, and a clever visual style. The Apple has none of that.
Summary of The Apple
Take a trip back to a time when rock ruled the world, with this mind-blowing, magical musical that's "a camp lover's delight" (American Cinematheque)! Deliciously decadent and exploding with glitter and glam, The Apple is a psychedelic sci-fi feast for the senses! When folk singers Alphie and Bibi enter the World Vision song contest, their wholesome appeal catches the evil eye of music mogul Mr. Boogalow, a Faustian fiend who promises the pair fame and fortune. Seduced byBoogalow's devilish denizens, Bibi surrenders her soul and soon becomes a superstar and a pawn in Boogalow's plot to take over the planet with the power of pop music! Now, Alphie must free Bibi from Boogalow and save the world from rock-and-roll ruin!Art House & International DVD Video
