Review of Battle of the Year (2013) by Grant K — 17 Sep 2013

What's my reaction to a dance competition movie following a team coached by Sawyer from 'Lost' you ask? It's mostly this: BWAHAHAHAHAHA.

With loads of horrific exposition, hilariously unnecessary reaction shots, and spoon-feeding the audience every little bit of story and character development imaginable, 'Battle of the Year' is hardly impressive filmmaking. That being said, one doesn't go to a 'Fast and the Furious' movie for the drama and you certainly wouldn't go to this for the story. This is all about cute guys dancing and dammit they're really good at it so the movie at least has that going for it.

My biggest regret though is that they never go forward with the cheesy plot twist that you'll expect to happen from the very beginning! Here's hoping Franklyn (with a y!) gets to step up in the sequel...
