"Battle of the Year" touches on exactly how the rest of the world gettings welcomed b-boy culture, yet how they're no more regarded as cutting side or cool in the United States.

That stresses the Sean Combs-like impresario, Dante (Laz Alonso): "How lengthy before hip-hop isn't cool down?".

He needs to safeguard his fashion, music and dance empire by putting American b-boys back ahead. He employs an aged dance pal, W.B. (for "Wonder Bread", now a grieving, alcoholic ex-basketball coach (Josh Holloway of "Lost". W.B. needs to obtain himself up to quicken on the current state of dancing, after that recruit and coach a "dream team" of the best of America's best to take on the other world, which gettings passed America by and long controlled the yearly b-boy Olympics referred to as "BOTY," the Battle of the Year.

That team consists of assorted pretentious, chip-on-their-shoulder showoffs, because that's what it takes to prosper. Actual celebrity professional dancers such as Do Knock and Flipz are blended with others, consisting of singer Chris Brown.

And helping coach is Jewish hip-hop authority "Franklyn with a y," played by Josh Peck.

Benson Lee, supervisor of the clear-cut documentary on the globally sensation, "Planet B-Boy," co-wrote and directed this, and immodestly has personalities view that film and sing its praises. Holloway can not even hint at an actual dance past, so the film fakes that by having his coach operate his people through drills (in split-screen series).

Peck, once of T.V's "Drake & Josh," onetime star of "The Wackness," has a little, assisting task yet is provided leading billing. In this instance, that implies his every scenario includes excessively made-up and coiffed close-ups. It's laughable.

Tabloid beloved Brown additional than holds his very own with this team, apparently not also requiring a dance double. The dancing scenes-- specifically those involving groups from Germany, France and Korea-- take the b-boy steps to the upcoming level.

And there are lots of easy, undemanding laughs, the very best lines originating from Peck's assistant coach.

"You look like a gazelle available," he applauds his boss. "A gazelle with arthritis." Which, while it does not describe the motion picture, does hit this genre right in the bull's eye. Yet after that, the charm of "Step Up" and all its weary imitators is that the viewers they're shooting for has no idea that there getting been 20 or 30 flicks exactly similar to this one that came before it.


He has to safeguard his style, songs and dancing empire by placing American b-boys back on best. He employs an aged dancing colleague, W.B. (for "Wonder Bread", now a grieving, alcoholic ex-basketball coach (Josh Holloway of "Lost". W.B. has to obtain himself up to quicken on the existing state of dancing, then sponsor and coach a "dream group" of the finest of America's ideal to take on the rest of the world, which has passed America by and long controlled the annual b-boy Olympics known as "BOTY," the Battle of the Year.
