"Battle of the Year" touches on just how the remainder of the world has accepted b-boy society, however exactly how they're no more viewed as cutting side or cool in the Usa.

That frets the Sean Combs-like impresario, Dante (Laz Alonso): "How long prior to hip-hop isn't really cool?".

He has to secure his dancing, music and fashion empire by placing American b-boys back ahead. He employs an old dancing colleague, W.B. (for "Wonder Bread", now a grieving, alcoholic ex-basketball coach (Josh Holloway of "Lost". W.B. has to get himself up to speed on the present state of dance, then sponsor and coach a "all-star team" of the most effective of America's ideal to tackle the other world, which has actually passed America by and long dominated the annual b-boy Olympics understood as "BOTY," the Battle of the Year.

But tabloid favorite Brown additional compared to holds his own with this staff, evidently not even needing a dance double. The dance scenarios-- particularly those involving teams from Germany, France and Korea-- take the b-boy steps to the following degree.

And there are a lot of easy, undemanding laughs, the most effective lines coming from Peck's assistant coach.

"You appear like a gazelle out there," he praises his supervisor. "A gazelle with arthritis." Which, while it doesn't describe the motion picture, does hit this category right in the bull's eye. After that, the elegance of "Step Up" and all its exhausted imitators is that the audience they're shooting for has no suggestion that there have actually been 20 or 30 movies exactly like this one that came prior to it.


He has to protect his dancing, style and popular music empire by placing American b-boys back on best. He hires an old dance colleague, W.B. (for "Wonder Bread", now a grieving, sprituous ex-basketball coach (Josh Holloway of "Lost". W.B. has to get himself up to speed up on the present state of dance, then sponsor and coach a "dream group" of the finest of America's best to take on the remainder of the globe, which has passed America by and long dominated the yearly b-boy Olympics known as "BOTY," the Battle of the Year.
