"Fight of the Year" touches on just how the rest of the globe has actually welcomed b-boy society, but how they're not regarded as cutting side or cool in the United States.
That frets the Sean Combs-like impresario, Dante (Laz Alonso): "How long before hip-hop isn't really cool down?".
He needs to safeguard his songs, fashion trend and dancing empire by putting American b-boys back ahead. He hires an aged dance pal, W.B. (for "Wonder Bread"), now a grieving, sprituous ex-basketball coach (Josh Holloway of "Lost"). W.B. needs to obtain himself up to speed up on the existing state of dancing, after that recruit and coach a "all-star team" of the most effective of America's ideal to tackle the remainder of the globe, which gettings passed America by and long dominated the annual b-boy Olympics called "BOTY," the Battle of the Year.
That group includes various conceited, chip-on-their-shoulder showoffs, because that's just what it requires to prosper. Real superstar dancers such as Do Knock and Flipz are combined with others, featuring vocalist Chris Brown.
And helping coach is Jewish hip-hop authority "Franklyn with a y," played by Josh Peck.
Benson Lee, director of the conclusive documentary on the globally phenomenon, "Planet B-Boy," co-wrote and routed this, and immodestly has characters view that movie and perform its praises. Holloway can not even mean an actual dancing past, so the motion picture fakes that by having his coach run his guys via drills (in split-screen series).
Peck, once of TELEVISION's "Drake & Josh," one-time superstar of "The Wackness," has a little, sustaining function but is offered top invoicing. In this instance, that implies his every scene features excessively made-up and coiffed close-ups. It's laughable.
Tabloid beloved Brown even more compared to holds his own with this staff, apparently not also requiring a dancing double. The dance situations-- particularly those involving groups from Germany, France and Korea-- take the b-boy steps to the next degree.
And there are sufficient easy, undemanding laughs, the most effective lines originating from Peck's assistant coach.
"You look like a gazelle around," he praises his boss. "A gazelle with arthritis." Which, while it doesn't explain the flick, does hit this genre right in the bull's eye. Then, the beauty of "Step Up" and all its worn out imitators is that the audience they're capturing for has no idea that there have actually been 20 or 30 flicks exactly like this one that came prior to it.
He has to shield his dance, fashion trend and popular music empire by putting American b-boys back on top. He employs an aged dancing pal, 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 on the present state of dancing, then sponsor and coach a "desire group" of the ideal of America's ideal to take on the remainder of the world, which has passed America by and long controlled the annual b-boy Olympics known as "BOTY," the Battle of the Year.
