BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Ruffyboo I think that Breakin' 2 is one of the best movies ever. It seems that most of the movies of this generation have in a sense reverted back to the plot of the older movies. The characters have great individuality and are as natural as the common man, not acting with skills that make the character irrelevant to the audience. We all can relate to the situation that has taken place as the lives of children are disrupted by commercial businessmen. I love the dancing and the choreography of this movie. I am reminded of dancing like this as a kid just wanting and waiting to have fun or an opportunity to learn new dances. This movie is a well-rounded film that shares with the audience a sense of great dancing and a plot that is heartwarming. It has a great innocence, bringing back memories of yesterday when it wasn't strange to be happy and stand up for what you believe. This movie has everything that a great picture should have such as romance, comedy, drama, and morality.

lordjin Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo serves as a perfect example of the more often than not erroneous 'bigger is better' philosophy that pervades American society. This movie, if nothing else, reminds us that more is not always more. This stinker of stinkers succeeds only in cheapening the impact of the dancing in the first movie by reducing it to an ornament for an absurd non-story.In its predecessor one can detect a tiny drop of integrity where the precepts of story forming are concerned. The conflict set up between 'street culture' and society's 'upper-crust' was less than realistic, but break dancing, as a form of urban art, was presented interestingly enough to capture my interest (I'm willing to forgive a lot for the sake of entertainment). The dynamic dance moves were just enough to suspend not disbelief, but dismissal of the ridiculous. In Boogaloo, that hint, that tiny drop of integrity became a drop of spittle on a hot iron. More thought and attention is generally given to the flushing of giant smelly turds than were given to the creation of characters, dialog, and scenarios in Boogaloo. Sam Firstenberg is no Joel Silberg. What? I'm not sure what that means myself. In fact I'm ashamed I said it.It's not difficult to see why this movie was made. It was the decade of cashing in on flashes-in-the-pan. If a teet squirts milk, then squeeze it for all it's worth, right? Breakin' 2 is nothing more than a poorly conceived advertisement for the flavor of the month. Sadly, this confusion of marketing and entertainment is not only alive and well today, it's grown into a gigantic retarded baby that's painting everything with a thick coat of mediocrity if not out and out stupidity. This is the devolution of popular culture. Art is no longer a part of the everyday.

Funkyrhino I really cant watch this movie being a streetdancer myself because it fails to really show what the culture is truly about. The first thing wrong is the title (Electric Boogaloo) the Electric Boogaloos are a Streetdancing group founded in Fresno in the mid 70's by Boogaloo Sam. This movie doesnt even address what Boogaloo style dancing is all about. It would be like making a movie called Shaolin Kung Fu and doing nothing but Boxing if you want an analogy. None of the real Electric Boogaloos were even in the movie (Popin Pete did play in the original Breakin') so why give it that title? Another thing - there wasnt alot of emphasis on the dancing itself. Okay I wont go much further. Even as a streetdancing movie it wasnt very good at all. However it is good to see most of those Kats still dancing to this very day. Peace

Cactus-7 If this isn't the worst film ever made, then whatever's worse is a well kept secret. Lucinda (Thunder Thighs) Dickey as well as the rest of the cast make comical figures of themselves. It's the usual story...big bad business wants to take away the rec center from kids who in real life would be hijacking liquor stores. I think they were trying to make a knock off of West Side Story. It would be more appropriate to name it Blind Side Story. What a gagger.
