The Upside (2017)
PLEASE! Judge for yourself...
I was excited the first time I saw the preview for this movie. Had never seen the original, I was not biased and had no idea what to expect. When I mentioned to my family I wanted to see it, they told me it had bad reviews. That got me sad because I thought that it looked really good. When I came to read the reviews I noticed that the majority of people who gave it negative reviews did it based on their comparison between the "original" and this movie.
Since I have not seen the "original" and had nothing to compare it to, I decided to see for myself, so I went and dived in.
I must say that I loved every second of it, it was a great performance, filled with laughter, sadness and amazing moments shared between two men who couldn't be more different.
I came out of this movie really happy that I did not followed the heard and went with their opinions and instead decided to make my own. I don't know how good was the prior movie, but this one was amazing! and will definitely make you feel good to be alive! Give it a chance and you will find something to love!
Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo (1984)
For those of us who enjoyed THE REAL 80's!
If you were a teenager or on your early 20's back in 1984, this was probably an epic movie. It had all the elements that at that time were HIP and HOT.
What is not to love about that? The fashion of those days was amazing!, If it wasn't so, then WHY are we seeing the resurgence of so many 80's fashion staples as Skinny Jeans, NEON colors (Oh yeah!, this is my favorite!), and the all famous tank tops in bright colors with words and fancy designs in the front? I am not going to lie, for today's standards this is not a movie that you would rave about unless you want to make fun of it.
Graphics, music, and styles change, but for those of us who used to break dance, trade mix tapes, and carry our own boom box, this was an awesome movie! Even now a days I still feel that the only thing I will regret at the end of my life is that I never got to pursue dancing an become a "SOLID GOLD" professional dancing girl! :(
Watching it today, after so many years brought back some amazing memories and I can't deny that I was smiling the whole time! Not only that, but seeing Neon all over the screen made me feel so nostalgic! After all this years, I still wish I could rock some of those fashions I saw in the movie! Whenever I go to the mall and see some neon fashions, I know that back then, I would have killed to own some of the stuff that is around today! I no longer have the energy, body, and stamina to dance like in those days, and I cannot wear the same clothes, but how I loved seeing it the way it really was back then!!
Dancing numbers are still cool, Fashion was off the charts, acting was not the best, but WHO CARES? this was not an Oscar contender, this was a movie made for those of us who were kids at that time who enjoyed the same things that made it the great movie that it is.
So no, it is not for everyone, but for those of us who lived, danced, and enjoyed the early 80's this still is a favorite, and a great movie!! Dancing is universal, and even if the music styles are different, you have to appreciate the moves!!
