Fans of comedian
Jamie Kennedy will probably best appreciate this lightweight comedy about a
breakdancing fool who gets a second chance at stardom. Kennedy is top-billed as
a hip-hop fanatic whose breakdancing moves put him in a coma circa 1987; 20
years later, he's revived and wants to reunite his crew, but finds they've moved
on in less than spectacular ways. The affections of his school crush (TV
reporter Maria Menounos) prove to be enough inspiration for him, but there's a
former rival (Smallville's Michael Rosenbaum) to overcome. Kennedy is a
funny performer, and he's well supported by Rosenbaum and Miguel Nunez Jr., as
one of his crew, but an overreliance on bathroom humor and '80s kitsch is a
