http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/23/KICKIN-IT-OLD-SKOOL-Maybe-It-Should-Have-Stayed-in.aspx Do not rent this film if you are a government employee, particularly if you work at the DMV.  But for the rest of us who can appreciate the occasional stupid joke in a stupid film, KICKIN’ IT OLD SKOOL will provide more than a few belly laughs. There may be some of you out there too young to remember that time before there was an Internet, when you actually had to go to a video store to get porn.  Not that I ever did, of course.  But people tell me that to keep anyone from seeing what they were renting, they’d cover Boudoir Baby with a legitimate film, preferably something by Bergman. This came to mind when considering KICKIN’ IT OLD SKOOL. If I were renting this DVD today, I’d probably cover it with porn.  Frankly, I’d prefer people see me with Lickin’ It Old Skool rather than a stupid film about break dancing that was released just four months ago.  Break dancing, do you believe it?  In 2007? I’m here to tell you I was partially wrong.  Oh this movie is stupid, all right.  But it is funny stupid, a guilty pleasure. Please don’t tell anyone.  Twelve-year-old Justin Schumacher (Alexander Calvert) leads a break dance group called the Funky Fresh Boyz.  He has a crush on classmate Jennifer Stone and competition (in both break dancing and matters of the heart) from an obnoxious Kip Unger.  To assure victory, Justin does a difficult move and back flip, but misses the stage.  He winds up in a coma.  But don’t worry; this is a comedy. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/23/KICKIN-IT-OLD-SKOOL-Maybe-It-Should-Have-Stayed-in.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/23/KICKIN-IT-OLD-SKOOL-Maybe-It-Should-Have-Stayed-in.aspx#1269 I didnt have high hopes for this movie.

I like the way Jamie Kennedy acts in his movies. I thought the movie was funny just like Malibu's Mosted Wanted. m_nuno1980 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/23/KICKIN-IT-OLD-SKOOL-Maybe-It-Should-Have-Stayed-in.aspx#1428 Tue, 11 Sep 2007 17:43:00 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/23/KICKIN-IT-OLD-SKOOL-Maybe-It-Should-Have-Stayed-in.aspx#1430 NO !!!!! chocolateman0101 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/23/KICKIN-IT-OLD-SKOOL-Maybe-It-Should-Have-Stayed-in.aspx#1430 Tue, 11 Sep 2007 17:41:52 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/23/KICKIN-IT-OLD-SKOOL-Maybe-It-Should-Have-Stayed-in.aspx#1790 he should have been shot in the movie david gibson 15 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/23/KICKIN-IT-OLD-SKOOL-Maybe-It-Should-Have-Stayed-in.aspx#1790 Tue, 16 Oct 2007 01:12:43 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/23/KICKIN-IT-OLD-SKOOL-Maybe-It-Should-Have-Stayed-in.aspx#2085 WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY WAVELYN http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/23/KICKIN-IT-OLD-SKOOL-Maybe-It-Should-Have-Stayed-in.aspx#2085 Wed, 07 Nov 2007 00:52:25 GMT
