This film was a true pleasure to watch! The story has heart and the dancing is spot on. Sure, the acting isn't exactly the best in the world, but what do you expect from an independent dance flick? B-Girl certainly beats the ridiculous plot lines and abysmal acting of Step-Up 2&3 (and probably the upcoming 4...we shall see). I've heard better dialogue, but it didn't bore me to death and it wasn't so cheesy as to make me want to throttle the screenwriter.B-Girl is definitely worth 83 minutes of your time. Don't let reviewers who are sadly misinformed about the history of breaking and clearly out of touch with current trends in dance(coughclaywebb79cough)put you off of this film. B-Girl is a heartfelt story set in a beautiful backdrop(there's some gorgeous graffiti). The choreography is excellent and the dancers straight up kill it! I give B-Girl a 7 of 10.

I recently received this from my Netflix queue with low expectations, but I was really surprised to see how well it was handled. As far as dance numbers go, it clearly delivers and holds its own among any big budget dance flick. The inexperienced cast really blew me away as they were able to pull off such real dramatic content. It's not a subtle drama, but it's handled very realistically for the issues it explores. I know you all think we don't want another dance movie (I know I did), especially not a dance movie no one has ever heard of. But trust me you should rent this one, sometimes you have to search for the good titles that are overlooked and B-Girl is one of them!

okay so this movie was kind of a below average film for my liking. I've been an avid fan of "dance movies" for some time now and enjoyed watching everything from dirty dancing to step up to name a few. but although this being a low budget film (atleast thats what it seemed to me !!!), the outcome could have been a lot better.to start off with, the acting was below par, and the direction could have been a lot better, don't get me wrong - the choreography was intense although were a bit rough around the edges.I mean, the lead hero/heroin should be the best among the other dancers, where as she was obviously not. the end dance sequence in the competition was way off - the dancers ripped the stage apart - except for the lead. - thats just sad - and not to mention the result thingy - it was mentioned that there was a prize money and stuff - but the film suddenly ends as people run off and start dancing !!! now thats not good...well all in all, it did kill time for me, although once it ended I was glad that it did !!! - I say - IF YOU'RE A B BOY/GIRL THEN YOU MIGHT ENJOY THIS FILM, ELSE WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!

You know the situation : It's school holidays - no films for adults around, it's all kids stuff, and you find an odd film called B-GIRL on Cable. No other choice around at this time so you go for it thinking : "it will pass the time".Well, after 5 minutes I didn't think I'd see the end of this film, after 15 minutes there was no way I was going to bed without seeing the entire film. It leaves you with a smile on your face, a warm feeling, you talk about it with your partner and then you hit the net to read more about it because .... you've enjoyed it ! In the end I loved this film, and the last 10 minutes are just ..... F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C !
