User Reviews

goodish film

just watched this film thought it was funny in places and kids enjoyed it, and did anyone spot the mistake in the film, it was near the end when Justin was just about to do his special move there are 3 members in red and black and the side of the stage the other member in the middle of the floor break dancing and who's the 5th member walking of stage waving to the audience think there was a editing fault. but apart from that enjoyed the film and kids did bring a lot of 80s memories back all the action figures that were in the film and words he used. especially when my kid wear saying how he no them words and to tell them they been around for a long time
