B-Girl (2009)

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This is truly a bad movie, bad even for third world market satellite TV. The main character is terrible, the actress looks like she is 45, no joke, she looks older than the actress playing her mom. Is kind of a bad joke of a movie. What a waste of money it was to make this film. This movie can be played at film school as an example of what not to make when you are working. Break dancing, that was popular back in 1984, why are they doing this crap in 2009? I actually felt embarrassed watching this movie, felt bad for the actors that did this out of desperation. If you ever see this movie scheduled you have been warned, or actually look at it so you can see other movies and feel good about it.

Awful Movie. In fact is was so bad I signed up with IMDb just to write a review about this move in hopes to save someone the time this movie stills from you. The storyline is a rip off of Fresh Prince of Belaire(except poor white girl). Break dancing was only popular for a matter of Months 25 years ago. It's now or ever been a legitimate style of dance. Now it's a cliché Joke at best. There is absolutely nothing positive to say about this movie. Bad premise, bad timing for release(25 years late), Bad acting, and bad casting(although I'm sure it was hard to find a cast desperate enough to be involved in this career killer of a movie). The main character looks to be a 40+ year old white girl still trying to make it Big as a break dancer, as if that is even possible in real life. I'm sorry to anyone who has wasted any amount of time watching this abomination. The most tragic thing about this movie is that the money spent to make it could have went to help feed needy children across the world!

I am giving a rebuttal to Dallas's to review. the reason why she ran from the guy with the tat is because the guy that attacked her in the beginning of the movie had a tattoo on the right side of his neck with a similar design. The reason why she ran to her room was because she was upset and unhappy because she moved from Brooklyn and it was hard fitting in for her. I think you should re-watch the movie and watch it good because your review of the movie was way off and the way it came off shows you wrote a review of a movie you didn't get. for a low budgeted movie it was pretty good. I think the acting was really good and the dancing was awesome and the plot was there and it was follow and not predictable which was great because there was potential for a good ending.

This Movie Was Definitely A Waste Of Money and Time -- The Cover Looked Amazing The Quick Info On The Back Of The DVD Seemed Interesting and It Said That The Dancers Were From Step-Up Step-Up 2 Step-Up 3D and Fame So That Led Me To Think That This Movie Was Gonna Be Just Like Those Movies or At Least Close To Them - Boy Was I Wrong -- The Acting Was Horrible, The Cameraman Seemed To Move A Lot, the Dancing Was Typical, The Lines Were At Times Stupid and Cheesy and There Was A Lot of Things That Would Happen That Would Make Absolutely No Sense At All There's Parts Where The Main Character (Angel) ((Who By The Way Was A Horrible Pick For The Main Lead)) Would Just Go Up To Her Room and Throw Her Clothes Around and Scream and Cry -- There's A Part Where She Completely Flips Out After She See's A Guys Tattoo and Runs Home and Packs Up To Leave and Then Her Mom Comes In and Says That She Won't Let Her Leave Back To Brooklyn ((Movie Starts Out In Brooklyn but After Her and Her Best Friend Get Stabbed By Her Ex-Boyfriend, In Which The Friend Dies, She Moves To LA To Live With Her Mom ((who probably acts the stupidest in the movie)) and Grandma)) And The Mom Grabs Her Bag And Pulls It Which Pulls Her Arm and The Mom's All Saying Sorry So She Just Runs To The Park and Starts Dancing Around...Dumb. I Mean That Seems Pretty Interesting But If You See It Yourself..The Way They Acted It All Out..Crappy and There Were Pauses Of Awkwardness In There Too That Just Made The Movie So Much More Boringer and There's Also A Flash Back Scene Where She's Remembering Everything Before The Stabbing And At First It Seemed Like Just A Flashback But Soon I Began To Wonder If It Was Another Scene...Took Kinda Long -- In My Mind The People Making This Movie Seemed To Know What They Were Doing But Didn't Seem to Show It Because Everything Just Seemed So Low in Production -- Definitely Not A Hollywood Film This By Far Is Not A Movie That Any Kid or Teen Would Enjoy -- I Think This Movie Was Pointed More Towards The Older Adults To Lure Them Into The Break Dancing World -- Nothing Like Step-Up -- By Far The Only Good Thing In This Movie Was The Music But Other Than That...I Would Not Recommend This Movie At All
