Watched online, very poor, fuzzy print.
17 songs in the Soundtracks, many just in the score.
5th of 55+ films for LL.
Rated 3.5 by 360+ IMDb voters.
It's hard to know how much of the film's failure is the horrible print, but this got very close to a 4.
The opening had graffiti artists dancing with the spray cans, on the way to a meeting before doing a large mural on a building. That's the last we saw of their artistic endeavors. The rest of the film is about break dancing, trying to take it to a professional level.
The synopsis makes it sound as though LL was one of the good dancers. We see a fairly lengthy segment where his various friends teach him to dance. His primary skill is promotion, and he promotes himself a job in a club, and takes it without his crew because he's supposed to bring them on board later. That doesn't happen, and they get a gig elsewhere, so he quits his job to join them.
I think he romances more than 1 girl, but I don't really remember, and it's hard to be sure with the bad print. Although the 2nd & 4th billed are female, I don't remember female characters playing characters who move the story along. The film ends with LL going off with 1 girl in a seemingly romantic manner.
One IMDb reviewer panned this in part because the music wasn't hip-hop, but was techno-pop. Whatever.
