In a small California town, rival gangs battle for control of their turf via Beat-Beat Revolution videogame dance contests.

The FP works for its audience, a rowdy crowd of midnight movie fans willing to put up with over-the-top silliness, bad performances, and general lunacy.

Rated: 3.5/5.0

Rather than crafting a movie that's so bad it's good, writer-director brothers Jason and Brandon Trost have come up with something that's just plain bad -- and boring, and repetitive.

Rated: 1/4

The film's goofy heart and soul (yes, it has one) is what sticks with you in the end and makes this crazed film into a potential cult-movie masterpiece.

Rated: 3/5

One of the loudest, most ridiculous, entertaining movies I've seen in a long, long time.

Creative, wild, and absolutely depth-free...

The film only embraces the most superficial aspects of the genre. The heart, the soul and the melodrama are all missing.

Rated: 2/10

How TF did this get a low rating? ... I guess a bunch of gold medalist professional deepthroating champions didn't like it? 🤷‍♀️

This is the worst thing I have ever seen in my life. I regularly watch SyFy originals. I have seen Troll 2. I even saw some of Sausage Party. This is still the most painful movie to watch. I don't know if I want to recommend this movie for laughs, or warn everyone away from it.

They deserve awards just for keeping a Straight Face while challenging for a "Beat Off!"

The story is insane, the dialogue is tacky and repetitive, the characters make no sense and the entire film is bad. However that doesn't mean it isn't fun to watch. Grab a group of friends and laugh hysterically and the terribleness. It's also incredibly quotable and lends itself to great inside jokes.
