Such aggressive photography could lend John Candy the grace of Gregory Hines. Go to Full Review

3/4
Here is a movie that wants nothing more than to allow some high-spirited kids to sing and dance their way through a silly plot just long enough to make us grin. Go to Full Review
Pat Padua Spectrum Culture 08/31/2018
An honest, un-cynical movie, and oh those colors. Go to Full Review

It is impossible to enter into any discussion without acknowledging that this is probably the greatest name to a sequel that has ever been given in the history of cinema. Go to Full Review

Its blithe self-confidence shows not the slightest inkling of just how terrible it all is: a wonderful kind of terrible that makes you weep for joy. Go to Full Review

Frederick A Oct 31 Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo isn’t a movie you watch for the plot or acting — it’s all about the music and the dancing. It’s pure fun, perfect when you want something light and mindless. The acting and dialogue are hilariously bad, but the soundtrack and breakdancing are top-tier. Highly recommend for a good time. See more CodyZamboni Z Jun 8 Sequel is harmless, good natured, and colorful. It's also dumb, sometimes annoying, with garish, silly costumes, There's no real plot, just non stop musical numbers. Best part of this movie is Lucinda Dickey as Kelly, She is given much more screen time than in first movie, She is soooo pretty, She makes this movie watchable, I only recognized 2 songs, Ice T has a cameo, See more Dave C Jan 9 There's a lot of mediocre dancing, a fair amount of cringeworthy dancing, and a small amount of great dancing. And there's some loose semblance of a story in the mix somewhere too. Unfortunately, it is too long, and the story is crap. There are plenty sharper 'dancing will save you/the community' films See more JP h 10/15/2024 A quick sequel, but still so much fun with Lucind Dickey looking even HOTTER! She's a gem of a dancer/actress so it's too bad she didn't continue acting for raising a family, yet good for her! See more Gabe L @CINEMANERD 01/07/2024 What was this movie. Every scene was like I was high See more Pete P 12/03/2022 I'm 54 almost and this is the only film I've ever watched that has made me physically ill......or maybe I was just ill when I watched it? whatever, the memory is a bad one. I appreciate the music and dancing but ended up feeling sick. See more Read all reviews
