"Struggle of the Year" touches on just how the other world has welcomed b-boy culture, however how they're not regarded as cutting edge or cool in the United States.
That frets the Sean Combs-like impresario, Dante (Laz Alonso): "How lengthy before hip-hop isn't cool?".
He has to shield his popular music, fashion and dancing empire by putting American b-boys back on best. He works with an old dance friend, W.B. (for "Wonder Bread"), now a grieving, sprituous ex-basketball coach (Josh Holloway of "Lost"). W.B. has to obtain himself up to speed on the present state of dancing, then recruit and coach a "all-star team" of the most effective of America's best to take on the rest of the globe, which gettings passed America by and long dominated the yearly b-boy Olympics called "BOTY," the Battle of the Year.
That group consists of assorted arrogant, chip-on-their-shoulder showoffs, since that's what it takes to succeed. Real superstar professional dancers such as Do Knock and Flipz are combined with others, including vocalist Chris Brown.
And assisting coach is Jewish hip-hop authority "Franklyn with a y," played by Josh Peck.
Benson Lee, director of the definitive docudrama on the around the world phenomenon, "Planet B-Boy," co-wrote and directed this, and immodestly has characters enjoy that movie and perform its praises. Holloway can not even mean a real dance past, so the film forges that by having his coach run his guys with drills (in split-screen sequences).
Peck, as soon as of TV's "Drake & Josh," one-time star of "The Wackness," has a small, sustaining task but is offered leading invoicing. In this situation, that implies his every situation features very made-up and coiffed close-ups. It's laughable.
Tabloid favorite Brown more compared to holds his own with this crew, apparently not also needing a dance double. The dance scenarios-- especially those entailing teams from Germany, France and Korea-- take the b-boy moves to the following degree.
And there are lots of easy, undemanding laughs, the very best lines originating from Peck's assistant coach.
"You look like a gazelle out there," he applauds his employer. "A gazelle with arthritis." Which, while it doesn't describe the motion picture, does strike this category right in the bull's eye. Then, the beauty of "Step Up" and all its exhausted imitators is that the audience they're shooting for has no idea that there have been 20 or 30 flicks specifically like this one that came before it.
He has to shield his style, songs and dancing empire by placing American b-boys back on leading. He works with an old dance buddy, W.B. (for "Wonder Bread"), now a grieving, sprituous ex-basketball coach (Josh Holloway of "Lost"). W.B. has to obtain himself up to speed up on the current state of dance, after that recruit and coach a "desire team" of the ideal of America's best to take on the remainder of the globe, which gettings passed America by and long controlled the annual b-boy Olympics understood as "BOTY," the Battle of the Year.
