Exciting film, 31 December 2002

This movie is about a street vendor who enters a dance contest. I loved this movie. Most people might not understand what they were saying but it was not about that. Once you followed the plot, you were sure not to be misled. I saw this about 16 times on video. I am a Caribbean native and I really enjoyed it. The dancing made me learn a few things and the sound-track was of the hook! As for the characters, the street vendor, Marcia, she was very funny! The daughters, Tasha and Tanya, cool. Larry and Priest were your typical villains! The story was smooth-flowing as well. My reason for watching it over and over was to see the dancing which was very good and to hear the same jokes over and over again. 9/10
