...not from trying to mimic the dance moves, but from being so mind-numbingly bad. I have read some of the positive reviews with fascination. Did they watch the same movie? I was also a teenager in the breakdancing era, and I did enjoy the first one. I chased every movie of its type. I even watched Body Rock with Lorenzo Lamas!
This movie had everything wrong. The music was, by far, the absolute worst! No real baseline or beat, and definitely not music anyone would break, pop or lock to! The only redemption is Din Daa Daa by George Kranz. Everything else sounded like it was thrown together at the last minute by musicians who had anything better to do. The story plays like an ABC after-school special, only 100x cornier. Ozone's clothes were ridiculous. No one dressed like that. At least not that I ever saw, and I grew up with Beat Street.
Acting, music, story, wardrobe...all EPIC fails. I actually paid to see this in the theater, hoping, waiting for some real breaking and good music. Neither were forthcoming. Watch this movie if you want to have a laugh at the trainwreck, but don't think for a second it is representative of the breaking scene.
