5 out of 5 stars They don't make 'em like this anymore =-(   June 24, 2006
Shaun Jules (Toronto)
I don't care that they're not top Hollywood actors, it still took me back 20+ years, the sunshine state, the colours, THE MUSIC, THE DANCING, the fun, the MAGIC, the excitement.... this movie rocks forever. Nevermind flicks like "The Sound Of Music" and other "yipidy doo daa" classics, the style of dancing in this movie is spectacular which i believe is the best creative form of dancing period. It can be viewed by ALL AGES. This is a true familly movie you and you're kidz will love. Peace


4 out of 5 stars when Hip-Hop was innocent .....just a good time   June 3, 2004

When this movie came out the spring of 84 me and my freinds went to the theatre and learned every move from these brillant dancers who put every thing into what they were doing, yes the acting is chessy but the dancing is top-notch and the message was postive(unlike a lot of commercial Hip-Hop culture today with it emphaisis on death, bling bling and dancing that is closer to strip club erotic dancing)about standing up for what you believe in and a slamming soundtrack. Buggalo Shrimp's dancing with a broom during Kraftwerk's Tour De France is a classic.

Do not rent or buy this movie if you are looking for a movie with a strong plot line or decent acting. Both of these items are pretty much nonexistent.pThere is really no sense in trying to explain the plot line to this movie, mainly because it only takes up about 20 minutes of this 86-minute movie. The rest of the movie involves the characters dancing (mostly break dancing to be exact). To be honest, the story actually gets in the way of the dancing (never thought I would say that about a movie).pOkay, if the story line isn't worth talking about and the acting is pretty much non-existent, then why the 4-star rating? Because of the dancing. This is one of those movies where the story and the acting don't really matter. For those of with no dance talent, these dance moves will leave your mouth wide open. And any movie that can successfully do that is worth a high rating.

I used to watch this movie all the time when I was like five or six years old and when i got my new DVD player, I kept wondering What should be the first movie I'll buy? and I instantly thought of this movie. My original copy was stolen about sixteen years ago and this wasn't exactly the easiest movie to find. I watched again and I love it the same way I did when I watched it as a little girl. James Hill, a movie critic, talked about how bad the acting was in this movie as well as You Got Served and I had to laugh because much of the acting was pretty bad, but just like You Got Served, the dance scenes completely outweighed it. Both movies also gave you the chance to see some actors/actresses that should become successful, ex: Turbo was pretty good and J-Boog was really good. My six-year-old nephew watched it last night and even liked Breakin better. Now you know if a movie came out almost two decades ago and it's still classic, that was one great movie. For the love of hip-hop, I totally appreciate this movie!

I almost fell over when I saw that they re-released this classic. It is a classic that examines the culural importance of this form of street dance and gives it the honor and respect to acknowledge its influence it has on modern dance. These kids have worked really hard and it has a great lesson about confidence,determination, and faith. It is really cheesey yes, but it is a great story for young viewers, it is fun, and the music is classic. I also love the references to Fred Astaire that Michael Chambers, a highly skilled and talented dancer, is honored to present. The sequel is also worth viewing.
