This is the second of four movies I saw in a racially diverse theater on Martin Luther King Day.
Synopsis: Someone took the "They're Breakdance Fighting!" scene from Zoolander and made a movie about it. Totally unbelieveable "kid from the streets" of rough and tumble LA seeks to make good at "Truth University." (which apparently is not only a presitigious fictional school for African Americans, but also wages war, guerilla _style_ against "Big Tobacco") He's also got his sights set on avenging his brother's death by being the best tap dancer in all of Georgia.
Review: I'm going to let my roommate Sam handle this one. "Children of Men? Didn't really do anything for me. This movie, though. This movie got me really pumped. I'll probably buy it."
Sam's Top Five Favorite Movies:
#5 - Jack Johnson Live in Concert #4 - Dude Where's My Car? #3 - Armageddon #2 - Out Cold #1 - Rad
Martin Luther King Jr. Day Life Lessons Learned: I'm not going to lie. This movie had me just a bit out of my element. Had I rented this, I would not known when and where to react. However, as I mentioned before, since I saw this at Universal City Walk I viewed this picture while surrounded by people of various (pun intended!) "walks" of life. These people served as my multicultural guides as to when I should laugh, cheer, applaud, or yell "Oh, snap!" The audience was so animated, in fact, that in the middle of the movie, Michael Richards got up and walked out.
I also learned that if you dance better than someone, you could get MURDERED.
