Editorial Review of DVD

The first major breakdancing film, Breakin' has the twin advantages of freshness and boundless energy. Lucinda Dickey plays a dancing student who dislikes the hidebound regimen of her demanding teacher. She breaks free from terpischorean tradition when she befriends a bunch of street kids devoted to breakdancing. Yes, it's basic Mickey Rooney-Judy Garland stuff, right down to the Big Audition at the finale. Still, Breakin' is a most engaging time capsule, highlighting a wealth of top-ten musical hits as well as such stars-in-the-making as "Shabba-Doo" (Adolfo Quinones), "Boogaloo Shrimp" (Michael Chambers) and "Ice T" (Tracey Morrow). Within a year of its release, Breakin' spawned a sequel, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
