KineticSeoul This movie basically reminded me of the movie "Napoleon Dynamite" except it's more brash, obnoxious and has cursing and sexual innuendo. It's a flick that tries to be so bad, it's good kinda approach but just comes off mediocre. It does have it's moments though with some funny and yet brash dialogues. Most of the humor comes from characters that tries to act like wannabe street gangsters and constantly talking in slang. The movie is about two rival gangs that is far from being taken seriously is constantly at war with each other and fight each other by playing...Dance Dance Revolution or Beat Beat Revelation in this movie. Which leads to dialogues such as "I challenge you to a Beat Off" and "dance with your mind not with your feet". It also has quite a bit of throwbacks to those 70's and 80's futuristic movies even when it comes to the music. And also has a bit of "Rocky 3" in this movie plot wise. Watching the video game dance skills isn't even impressive and it just focuses on the characters expressions while dancing. It's more entertaining watching a guy dance to Tashannie- Don't bother me on Pump It Up on youtube. I can tell how some audiences will like this movie or hate it.6/10
bertkyo1 A ton of early 2000s humor that gets old 30minutes into the film. It would have been better had it come out during the DDR fancraze phase. The movie however looks amazing and the acting isn't bad. There just isn't enough substance to drag the movie out for 1.30hrs. It would have been better as a 30-45minute short. You'll chuckle at the absurdity of it and enjoy the costume designs, but it is a novelty film that quickly wears down your patience and attention span. This is a great movie to push the nostalgia button of any veteran DDR player. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else who doesn't understand the game and community. It really is an "inside joke" kind of movie.
Frank Sanders I love to get together with friends and watch the oddest assortment of films. To give an example some of our favorites include; Class of Nukem high, Hobo With a Shotgun, Street Trash, Dead End Drive-In and so on. The FP might just be the king of all those films. The acting beats them all, the look of the film rules them all and the camera work is better than it should be for such a small budget movie. The fact that no one broke character is what made this movie. Well that and the great writing and Stella performances. Whatever, just watch the damn movie already. If you haven't already had the desire to see it then you probably aren't they type of person that will get the movie. And you probably are lame.
Heina Bizarre. Hilarious. Audacious. Good? If you like terri- awesome incredi- bad type flicks, this will be right up your alley. Imagine a post- apocalyptic world that is Riverside, CA meth culture with a dash of DDR -- I mean, Beat Beat Revelation. The slang is just wrong enough to ping your internal ear, the outfits are random hodgepodges, and the nudity is arbitrary. The pacing drags in the middle of the film, but overall, it is just crazy enough to cut it. It was as if someone raided TV Tropes and then made a film that just rolled with its own campy ridiculousness. There is no irony in the film -- it's all played straight. I loved it.
