UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
dansrman25 This film was a true pleasure to watch! The story has heart and the dancing is spot on. Sure, the acting isn't exactly the best in the world, but what do you expect from an independent dance flick? B-Girl certainly beats the ridiculous plot lines and abysmal acting of Step-Up 2&3 (and probably the upcoming 4...we shall see). I've heard better dialogue, but it didn't bore me to death and it wasn't so cheesy as to make me want to throttle the screenwriter.B-Girl is definitely worth 83 minutes of your time. Don't let reviewers who are sadly misinformed about the history of breaking and clearly out of touch with current trends in dance(coughclaywebb79cough)put you off of this film. B-Girl is a heartfelt story set in a beautiful backdrop(there's some gorgeous graffiti). The choreography is excellent and the dancers straight up kill it! I give B-Girl a 7 of 10.
crzyxaznxboy First lady Jules is my favorite bgirl of all. shes just sick, so the fact that she is the main actor/dancer in the movie just makes it more "amazzinger".But also as a bboy and dancer, i'm pretty sure many of other bboys and bgirls have went through this phase of "your not good enough". for myself, growing up as a navy brat i moved every 2 or 3 years... and for the past five years... I've had to move out of my school to another school each year.. so its new scene EVERY school year for 5 years. Angel moving to los angeles , you would imagine ever dancer would love that, but when your in a place your unfamiliar with, your so frighten and don't know what to expect. and then when people press against you, you feel like the whole world is against you. also in a way, since my dad was ALWAYS on deployment. i haven't seen him for more then a consecutive month in past 4 years. so its kinda just me and my mom. or when i had to live with my grandparents...i felt outside my element. but with my mom, lke angel's mom, my mom really needs AAA or AA.. whichever.seeing how excellent emily dell was able to execute the movie with some sick dancers is amazing. lol i put it on my ipod and provably watched it a lot. its really good inspiration to start dancing and show how when things get rough, just get rougher and don't back down.although true some scenes in the move are sort of like um okay. the its all spun together makes it superb.
KaziRiadOmar okay so this movie was kind of a below average film for my liking. I've been an avid fan of "dance movies" for some time now and enjoyed watching everything from dirty dancing to step up to name a few. but although this being a low budget film (atleast thats what it seemed to me !!!), the outcome could have been a lot better.to start off with, the acting was below par, and the direction could have been a lot better, don't get me wrong - the choreography was intense although were a bit rough around the edges.I mean, the lead hero/heroin should be the best among the other dancers, where as she was obviously not. the end dance sequence in the competition was way off - the dancers ripped the stage apart - except for the lead. - thats just sad - and not to mention the result thingy - it was mentioned that there was a prize money and stuff - but the film suddenly ends as people run off and start dancing !!! now thats not good...well all in all, it did kill time for me, although once it ended I was glad that it did !!! - I say - IF YOU'RE A B BOY/GIRL THEN YOU MIGHT ENJOY THIS FILM, ELSE WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!
Objectivity You know the situation : It's school holidays - no films for adults around, it's all kids stuff, and you find an odd film called B-GIRL on Cable. No other choice around at this time so you go for it thinking : "it will pass the time".Well, after 5 minutes I didn't think I'd see the end of this film, after 15 minutes there was no way I was going to bed without seeing the entire film. It leaves you with a smile on your face, a warm feeling, you talk about it with your partner and then you hit the net to read more about it because .... you've enjoyed it ! In the end I loved this film, and the last 10 minutes are just ..... F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C !
