Storyline

After a run-in with local thugs, aspiring Harlem rapper Rob flees to a place and father he never knew, and finds his salvation in Reggaeton, a spicy blend of hip-hop, reggae and Latin beats. Puerto Rico, the spiritual home of Reggaeton, inspires Rob and his step-brother Javi to pursue their dream of becoming Reggaeton stars. Together with a dancer named C.C., they learn what it means to stay true to themselves and each other, while overcoming obstacles in love, greed and pride, all culminating in an explosive performance at New York's Puerto Rican Day Parade.

I felt no noise, but I felt my Time slip by

This movie was a waste of time! I would rather sit with my grandma, while she teaches me sewing rather than watch it again!! Before I walked in, I thought this is a dancing movie, because this is how it was marketed. Now, the only good thing about this movie was the way it was marketed. It is true that they fool the people into thinking that it is a dance movie, but the preview of this movie was amazing. Honestly, I am willing to watch the preview over and over again for the 1 hour 20 minutes of the movie, rather than watching the movie again. The acting was horrible. Omarian keeps on proving to us that he is a lousy actor; he is a good dancer and singer, why can't he just stick with that?! The storyline was just too weak. It contained no suspense, it contained no twists, it contained no "spice"! The music in the movie was also horrible, it was literally noise! In the end, try to avoid this movie at any cost!!
