    Planet B-Boy is GREAT!

    This movie puts Step-Up 2 to shame and the crazy thing is that its a do***entary. But it really was great. My girlfriend knows one of the dancers in the film and took me to see it and I tell you I really loved it. The dancing is incredible and the stories of what these dancers go through is really something else. I have a new found appreciation for break dancing. Please don't pre-judge this film until you've seen it.

    Planet B-Boy

    I wish this movie had more publicity so more people knew about it and would go! Even if you don't think of yourself as interested in breakdancing, this movie presents charming and fascinating cultural stories from genuine perspectives. I loved this movie because of these genuine perspectives and the personalities of the diverse b-boys in the film. Also, the dancing is amazing!! These kids have unbelievable talent and I love how they all come together in the end.

    Loved it!

    The theatre was packed. The excitement was thick in the air. People cheered for their favorites. It truly was a community event.

    The movie shows a side of bboy that many will never see. I am trilled to see this movie out, enlightening others about the world of Hip Hop and bboy culture. It's not going away! International presence! It unites people across the world!

    My only beef is that it left me hangin! The Best of Year competition they show occurred in 2005. What happened in 2006 and 2007? Yet, others that feel like me will just have to seek it out themselves, and in that fact alone the movie is a success.
