A "Classic"!
Added 6/12/2009

Okay so it's not "Casablanca " by any means but it does remind me of my youth and the days of watching break dancers on their flattened out cardboard boxes and that is what makes it a classic! I love how happy this movie makes me feel whenever I watch it. Sure the acting is not Oscar worthy but it doesn't need to be because it's about the dancing and the music and both are great! Loved this movie as a kid and love it now! BTW - my husband noticed that Jean Claude Van Dame is in this movie. He is one of the spectators at the beach when Ozone takes Kelly to watch the dancers --- his dance moves are hilarious!

Breakin' is a good breakdance flick, while very cheesy*turbo* and Ice-T in Pre-Gangsta Mode, it shows what it was like "Back in the day". way better than Part 2(Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo) and That Communist Harry Belafonte's Beatstreet.

Pam's review

I think the whole expereience with Amazon was great. amazon said that I would have my products in 3-5 business days and they were right. I would definitely order from here again, the order came just in time to watch for the Christmas holidays. All the movies that I ordered were great as well.

Luv it!

OK.....the acting is pretty bad BUT it's just bad enough to be comical without being annoying. If you grew up in the 80s (& weren't addicted to hair band heavy metal), this movie will bring you right back to your life in '84. The dancing aside.....you CANNOT beat the music!! Din Daa Daa might be the greatest song ever!! Well....not really but it is just as good now as it was back then. ;-)

was a great dancing movie

i love how this movie has no violence in it and the little negative that it does have it is resolved through danceing not other violence like the movies today :)

Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo- Get Breakin(First one) it's better.
Added 5/31/2009

Breakin'2 electric boogaloo, is pretty disappointing and cheesier than the first one which is better, this one again features more ballet/broadway/artsy stuff that does not fit in(like in the first)other than the same protagonists and bad acting and a bunch of kids, and Ozone/Turbo Being corny. Some really cool moves. I would stay with Breakin'.
