Sometimes I add movies to my Netflix queue that have been critically heralded as being so bad that they're not worth the medium they're recorded on, but I can't resist watching them because as you know, any publicity is good publicity.
I added Breakin' to the list because it's one of those titles that just keeps coming up in '80's pop culture commentary.
I added Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo at the same time merely to be able to watch them both at once.
Jeebus. I won't discuss Breakin' as it is what it is, but I'll play a bit of Devil's Advocate for the sequel.
Everything I've seen or read about it touted it as the worst...movie...ever. That's not true - surely 54 is worse. It's like a non-stop music video, the plot is jumpy, the stunts are badly captured and the acting is piss-poor (what do you expect from street dancers, Hamlet?)...but it wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen. It sort of had an 1980s Sister Act appeal to it.
Would I buy it? Hellz no. Would I watch it again if it were on TNT? Um. I wouldn't set my schedule around it. The point is that there's no way it could be as bad as Glitter. It's a nice clean movie that you can use to babysit your kids while you go get your hair done.
