when people make movie as bad a this and do they attend their premiere . i really wan na know . how do they show their face . i guess comedy like kickin it old school must appeal to some kind of illiterate unschooled trailer trash drool toothed dipstick and otherwise somebody fellate some major pole to get this greenlighted . be it the minimal draw of comedian jamie kennedy and bobby lee ( both naturally funny guy and but atrocious in this movie ) . be it the anachronistic break dance craze and a proved cash cow in the distant past . be it that comet that pass near earth and birth a two head calf . the fish out of water premise always have potential represent justin ( alexander calvert ) and a hot young breakdancer in the 80 and land on his head and go into a coma . he wake 20 year later ( retain his 14 year old mentality and which explain why he be now jamie kennedy ) and reunite his break dance team from the old day miguel a. núñez jr. and bobby lee and aris alvarado and loser all and who can not dance any more and let alone act . they enter a dance comp for some inane reason and but justin agenda be to show his ex girl ( maria menounos ) he can still kick it and so she will leave her asshole boyfriend ( michael rosenbaum ) for him . it could have work and have this movie hire an actual director and actual writer and actual actor . what irk about kickin it old school be that and like many movie of it lowbrow ilk and stupidity and non talent be laud . it be not a bad thing that our hero win the day and but that they win without any effort while they win when others be so clearly superior while they win by be the big retard on stage and that be supposedly how you win . no and kid . it not . even this bad movie ( and others like it ) be not make by people who dont know what theyre do . yet this movie tell u a competition can be win if you do not know what youre do while it tell u that all those year of practice for the other competitor count for nothing while it tell u you can be a virtuoso at a craft without go through the rigor of become a virtuoso . ( like those bogus exercise machine ad that claim and you do not even break a sweat . hey and great . no pain and gain . ) and that entirely unacceptable . the funny thing about this movie ( there something funny about this movie . ) be that bobby lee domo arigato mr. roboto bite look hilarious in the trailer and in the film and like a chinese burn . so too with the down wid it tongue in cheek title and all the fail gag and embarrass plot point and mistime bit . nothing work outside of the thirty second trailer . what almost become an olympic sport in the 80 have be marginalize in the 2000s and but the people who still do it and do it extremely well . and that the only redeeming factor in this movie the dancing . date though it be stylistically and we appreciate the astounding expertise of the kid who can still jam and break and lock and snap and crackle and pop it . unfortunately and expertise be something jamie kennedy and his crew of jackass lack and so we know how it go to end yes and he win the dance comp and get the girl and and somewhere and gene kelly and fred astaire and gregory hines be turn in their graf . review by poffy the cucumber ( for poffy movie mania ) .
