Freak Dance

Matt Besser. CBB. Make it work.
It is no "The Dark Knight Rises," but it is a movie by the delightful Matt Besser. Show some love for the CBB - UCB - ODB homeboy and boy/rent/view his movie. It is better to live in a world where Matt Besser works hard than a world where he does the opposite.

This movie changed my life!
Not for the weak-stomached, this movie is for connoisseurs of the 1980s dance movie genre. If you weren't a wide-eyed youth when you watched "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo" for the first time, "Freak Dance" may not hold the same special something. Although there is a healthy dose of shout outs to "Step Up," "You Got Served" and the like, it is "Flashdance" and "Beat Street" that this movie's roots are in. Basically, this movie is HILARIOUS!

Great Goofy Musical
This is a pretty enjoyable goofy musical, with lots of good dancing. Kind of a spoof of footloose. Full of hilarious comedians. I would have liked to see the weed fiend played by Paul Rust a little more; that character was hilarious. Unsurprisingly, the 4 funniest characters were the ones played by the seasoned UCB founders. This movie is very fun, but probably not for anyone who dislikes musicals.
