Roster / Balle of the Year
« on: October 06, 2013, 12:21:16 pm »
"Fight of the Year" touches on exactly how the rest of the world has accepted b-boy society, yet just how they're no longer regarded as reducing edge or cool in the Usa.
That frets the Sean Combs-like impresario, Dante (Laz Alonso): "How long before hip-hop isn't really cool?".
He has to protect his dancing, songs and fashion trend empire by putting American b-boys back ahead. He hires an aged dancing pal, W.B. (for "Wonder Bread"), now a grieving, sprituous ex-basketball coach (Josh Holloway of "Lost"). W.B. has to obtain himself up to quicken on the current state of dance, then recruit and coach a "all-star team" of the most effective of America's finest to handle the remainder of the world, which has passed America by and long controlled the annual b-boy Olympics referred to as "BOTY," the Battle of the Year.
That team contains various conceited, chip-on-their-shoulder showoffs, since that's exactly what it takes to do well. Actual star dancers such as Do Knock and Flipz are combined with others, consisting of vocalist Chris Brown.
And assisting coach is Jewish hip-hop authority "Franklyn with a y," played by Josh Peck.
Benson Lee, supervisor of the definite documentary on the globally phenomenon, "Planet B-Boy," co-wrote and routed this, and immodestly has characters view that film and sing its praises. Holloway can not even prompt at a real dance past, so the motion picture fabricates that by having his coach run his people via drills (in split-screen series).
Peck, when of TV's "Drake & Josh," one-time star of "The Wackness," has a little, sustaining part but is provided leading billing. In this situation, that means his every scene consists of extremely fabricated and coiffed close-ups. It's laughable.
Tabloid beloved Brown even more than holds his very own with this team, apparently not also needing a dancing double. The dancing scenarios-- particularly those involving teams from Germany, France and Korea-- take the b-boy transfer to the upcoming degree.
And there are sufficient easy, undemanding laughs, the finest lines originating from Peck's assistant coach.
"You look like a gazelle out there," he applauds his boss. "A gazelle with arthritis." Which, while it does not explain the flick, does strike this category right in the bull's eye. But after that, the elegance of "Step Up" and all its weary imitators is that the viewers they're shooting for has no idea that there have been 20 or 30 flicks precisely such as this one that came before it.
He has to shield his songs, dance and fashion empire by placing American b-boys back on best. He hires an aged dance pal, W.B. (for "Wonder Bread"), now a grieving, sprituous ex-basketball coach (Josh Holloway of "Lost"). W.B. has to obtain himself up to speed on the current state of dance, then recruit and coach a "desire group" of the ideal of America's ideal to take on the rest of the world, which has actually passed America by and long controlled the yearly b-boy Olympics known as "BOTY," the Battle of the Year.
