Battle of the Year

How a group of extremely talented and extremely young dancers from disparate backgrounds learn to work as a team & suppress their natural desire to showboat in a dance form practically built on showboating--might have been an interesting one.Derrek is a broken alcoholic shell of a man thus fulfilling one of the key requirements of being a movie coach & he has to find a way to get these guys to work together.Film clearly features lots of brilliant dancers& I enjoy alot watching them move.

All Points for the breakdancing, none for the clichéd, superfluous Drama.

nice dance, fucked up dramatic base!

No this film isn't about epic fights on a battlefield. It's about DANCE BATTLES!

This is as close as Sawyer and Chris Brown is gonna get close to an Oscar. Rejoice!

Battle of the Year reads as a familiar blend of comeback sports movies like Miracle, Hoosiers, Top Gun and, of course, Rocky. But that familiarity, or derivativeness, if you will--from teammates who initially hate each other but eventually become friends, to overcoming the odds stacked against them as a team, to an earnest-and-wise-but-still-deeply-flawed coach overseeing it all--also means that Battle of the Year isn't as emotionally moving as any of those films.

"Remarkably, the highlight of Benson Lee's film, essentially a fiction reboot of his Planet B-Boy, isn't the scene where Chris Brown gets punched in the face." - Ed Gonzalez
