Disappointed with her small part in the chorus line of a Los Angeles show, jazz dancer Kelly (Lucinda Dickey) quits and heads home. Her father (John Christy Ewing) disapproves of Kelly's friendship with street dancers Ozone (Adolfo "Shabba-Doo" Quinones) and Turbo (Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers), and encourages her to pursue an opportunity to perform in Paris. Ignoring his wishes, Kelly teams up with her friends for a break-dancing benefit show to save an endangered community center.

Such aggressive photography could lend John Candy the grace of Gregory Hines.

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.

Rated: 3/4

An honest, un-cynical movie, and oh those colors.

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.

Rated: 2.5/5

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.

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.

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,

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

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!

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.
