Storyline

An hour before the five best Dutch dance crews fly to a contest in New York, the subsidized trip is cancelled. Five dancers from totally different crews don't want to give up their free plane ticket and go anyway. In New York they realize what they've done. They have no money, no plan and no crew. But... They came to dance so there is only one thing to do. Together they form a new crew and do everything they can to enter the contest they came for. In the mean time... they have to survive two weeks in New York without any cash.

It hurts my eyes!!!

If you've read the storyline, you might already notice it's not a great story. From the beginning till the end the storyline is based on too many coincidences and is painfully predictable.

Wait! It gets even worse. The acting isn't sub par, it's atrocious. I couldn't get into the movie even once. Especially one crying scene, which was probably meant to be very emotional, I honestly felt ashamed instead of the actress.

You might think "So? It's a dance movie. As long as the dancing is good, I'd watch it." Think again. These are good dancers, don't get me wrong, but the editing was disappointing to say the least and the choreo was just sad. They even used computer animation on some dances. This should have made it better, but it made it so much worse.

Finally at the end of the movie I actually felt like crying myself. Wasted my time and I felt like scratching my eyes out. That's how annoying this movie was. If that was the goal of the movie, then it's brilliant, if not, it sucks balls.
