Rotten Tomatoes® Score

TOMATOMETER®

Critics Consensus: With a hopelessly hokey plot and unintentionally hilarious dialogue, Battle of the Year is flimsy even by the standards of the dance movie genre.

Reviews

The MacGuffin

Allen Almachar

Instead of allowing his film to be uplifted by dance, Lee burdens it with a cringe-worthy dramatic narrative.

The young dancers' undeniable skill and athleticism is squandered in this formulaic, overly familiar dance movie.

The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)

Tara Thorne

Proof that any movie can get made somehow.

Characters are not developed enough. You don't feel for them. Result being, you end up as mere spectators instead of well-wishers. While the film preaches 'passion' for whatever you do, it is exactly what seems to be missing from it.

Not only does it fail to use 3D, with its rapid edits, but the dramatic stuff is poorly edited and sound mixed as well.
