Breakin'

The music and the dancing mark this time in history. This was a time when kids would dance instead of fight. They would use some tough words and end up dancing. The 80's were great years. I'd say the music died... Full review

If you ain't from L.A.(where it was filmed), or at least 8 yrs old in 1984 when it was made, you won't understand or appreciate it or the history of it. Straight up, this movie ain't about acting, a good plot,... Full review

When a movie like Breakin' comes out it is obivous that they are not trying to showcase the acting direction or an award wininng plot line. It is just a shame that Yahoo! doesn't have a a section where the dancing... Full review

"Breakin" was the west coast version of "Beat Street". "Breakin" came complete with pop-locking, break dancing, battling, trash talking, rapping, and oh yeah... terrible outfits; all of the elements that made the 80's endearing to some and loathsome to others.... Full review

Evidently giving up on trying to resolve this in realistic fashion, Breakin' 2 decides to use that time-worn deus ex machina of bad movies, the "sudden change of heart". I'm not going to say they were wrong, of course, but the musical numbers are so random and bizarre that they make the film seem even more ridiculous than it already is. ... Full Review

It's that the rest of the film is so bad, so singularly awful, that any hope the dancing might have had to carry the movie through its rough patches is obliterated in a hail of unintentional comedy.

Chalk it up to Silbergs innate sense of whats def, fresh, dope, and, oh, I dunno, da bomb. Oh, and Ice-T is in it, thus beginning his lifelong obsession of appearing in very awful movies for low sums of money. ... Full Review

Breakin' is an earnest attempt at a feel-good breakdancing drama. For the most part, Breakin' is merely still worth watch for the nostalgia value, or at the very least, for an unintentionally campy romp. ... Full Review

I'm an 80's baby, and there are quite a few things about this crazy and colorful era that I'll always remember fondly. Like my crush on Crocket and Tubbs from the TV show Miami Vice and Ozone and Turbo from... ... Full Article

The show will test dancers' skills by changing the song mid-performance to measure the breadth of their repertoire and the level of their creativity. This sounds a little too much like Freezedance but for prize money. ... Full Article

When Earth Day types go on about the ozone layer, my mind turns to the beautiful neon wonders and the spastic, sizzling dance moves onscreen in the 1984 cult classic Breakin'. ... Full Article

"Breakin'" is one of those films that do not translate well into a review. This is probably on account of it involving dancing, which is something that you have to see to truly experience. However, since the movie does involve ... Full Article
