Review of Krush Groove (1985) by Liam Lacey for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) — 28 Aug 1989
Unfortunately, the skimpy screenplay by Ralph Farquhar insists upon entangling the performers in the most conventional subplots imaginable. Talent contests, feeble attempts at romance and the travails of a struggling young record company are all enlisted, however briefly, in the effort to drum up backstage activities for the players, who are best watched in performance anyhow.
Rap music is infinitely more original than these creaky devices, and it deserves something better.
