Is it really possible that the NY Times critic Dave Kehr never heard of breaking before, and thinks this movie is documenting a recent "development"?
A Hip-Hop Dance Team Duels Some Menacing White Boys
"May the dopest crew win!" proclaims the hip-hop star Lil' Kim somewhere near the welcome end of "You Got Served," which opens today nationwide. She is not referring to sailors on steroids, but to dueling hip-hop dance teams, one led by African-American teenagers from an unspecified Los Angeles neighborhood and the other by sinister-looking white boys from Orange County, who face off in an MTV dance contest at the climax of this modest programmer directed by Christopher B. Stokes.
The natural heir of 1960's dance-craze films like "Twist Around the Clock" (memorably parodied by John Waters in "Hairspray"), "You Got Served" showcases the latest development in street dance, which, much like rap music itself, seems to be a predominantly masculine affair.
With neighborhood crews battling one another for audience approval (and a hat full of money) in a hall that looks more like a boxing ring than a ballroom, "You Got Served" frequently recalls the muscular ballet style pioneered by Gene Kelly and Jerome Robbins — except that the pirouettes in this film are more likely to be performed by dancers spinning on their heads than on their toes.
Apart from a few token women in the chorus, the boys dominate the performances with cutting, slashing, robotic moves that evoke both Chinese martial arts films and Michael Jackson's undying moonwalk. The presentation is aggressive and confrontational, and the dancers perform without ever breaking their scowling, angry street faces...
Cmon dawg, even the pope knows what time it is!

Holy shit!
I can't believe I'm reading this?!?!
This is really bad.
Who's the editor over at there at the Times? I mean, the editor should have told this writer what the hell those kids were doing in the film -- its the ongoing urban dance movement called break dancing, for goodness sake.
The editor should have discuss this with the writer so he could write it in his review so it would look like he knows what this movie is all about. The understated racism in this review should have been removed -- "sinister-looking white boys?" Dude, those kids look like the brats on that damn "O.C." show.
This is ridicolous.
Thanks for this post Jay.
Sheesh! WTF??

Do I need a lemon law attorney? The answer depends upon which State you Purchased or Registered your car in. In some States and with proper documentation, you simply file a Complaint. In other States, you will need to hire a lemon law attorney. Only about half of the States allow you to recover lemon law attorney fees. If your Attorney sues under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, you will be awarded lemon law fees if you win. Note that an attorney's fee is based upon actual time expended rather than being tied to any percentage of the recovery. Arbitration is designed to be a quick and cost-free method to resolve lemon law disputes. The process and procedures are very informal. Many consumers successfully present their cases without the assistance of a lemon law attorney. Some consumers may feel nervous in unusual circumstances, or may have some difficulty in communicating. These consumers may benefit from the assistance of a lemon law. Alabama Lemon Law, Alaska Lemon Law, Arizona Lemon Law, Arkansas Lemon Law, California Lemon Law, Colorado Lemon Law, Connecticut Lemon Law, Delaware Lemon Law, Florida Lemon Law, Georgia Lemon Law, Hawaii Lemon Law, Idaho Lemon Law, Illinois Lemon Law, Indiana Lemon Law, Iowa Lemon Law, Kansas Lemon Law, Kentucky Lemon Law, Louisiana Lemon Law, Maine Lemon Law, Maryland Lemon Law, Massachusetts Lemon Law, Michigan Lemon Law, Minnesota Lemon Law, Mississippi Lemon Law, Missouri Lemon Law, Montana Lemon Law, Nebraska Lemon Law, Nevada Lemon Law, New Hampshire Lemon Law, New Jersey Lemon Law, New Mexico Lemon Law, New York Lemon Law, North Carolina Lemon Law, North Dakota Lemon Law, Ohio Lemon Law, Oklahoma Lemon Law, Oregon Lemon Law, Pennsylvania Lemon Law, Rhode Island Lemon Law, South Carolina Lemon Law, South Dakota Lemon Law, Tennessee Lemon Law, Texas Lemon Law, Utah Lemon Law, Vermont Lemon Law, Virginia Lemon Law, Washington Lemon Law, West Virginia Lemon Law, Wisconsin Lemon Law, Wyoming Lemon Law
