    An amazing movie that isn't just about dancing but the lives behind the members and the personal struggles they have to go through to reach their dreams.

    Great documentary on bboying or breakdancing. I loved it not only because of the amazing moves but because it gives people who are unaware of bboying a taste of the bboy culture and lifestyle.

    If you watch the trailer and think you might like this movie, you will like this movie. Great mix of drama, humor, and cool dancing. (and in general, I don't give a crap about dancing or hip hop)

    Phenomenal break dancing. Compelling personal profiles. Would have preferred more non-stop dancing, but well worth a viewing. I hope that the DVD has the whole battle show.

    Lee pays little attention to the roots of breakdancing or how it helped to spread hip-hop worldwide, choosing instead to obsess over the mad skillz of his international subjects.

    Often exhilarating docu charts several breakdancing crews' path to the Battle of the Year, which hosts national winners from 18 countries -- not excluding Israel, Belgium or Latvia -- in dazzling competitive displays.

    The crews are perfectly cast for maximum drama.
