Sure, it's a silly movie. The whole idea of future gang societies taking control over territories via a video game is just drop dead funny just thinking about it. However! I have to say...I had a blast watching this movie. You have so much fun watching, that you don't even care. The acting, the dialogue, and the story is just so amazing for a low budget film, you overlook the logical side. Not to mention some quotable lines "What's a town without ducks?" Ha ha! You don't get much more lame then this, and still come out smelling like a million bucks! We've all heard of Dance Dance Revolution, unless you've been living under some hard rocks for the last twenty something years, right? Well, the gangs are playing Beat Beat Revolution, a deadly version of the game. How deadly? When the game claims the life of BTRO, the only hope of gaining Frazier Park from the 248's is through JTRO, who is not interested. KCDC encourages him that he is needed, so through some interesting Rocky 4 training, he learns how to be tougher then ever to go head to head with his competition. It's not going to be easy. Almost impossible, but JTRO has decided not to back down, and wants to claim back the FP once and for all. Can he do it? A little bit of the retro 80's with some retro 90's helped to stylize this comedy/thriller. Oh yeah! Look forward to a sequel in the making!

I'm not gonna go into the plot details for The FP. You can find that on Wikipedia. I first stumbled upon this gem of a movie at Blockbuster before the one near us closed its doors. What drew me in was the cover art. My husband and I picked it up, watched it, and were amazed. The FP is an incredible movie, and I can't believe the score it gets here on IMDb. I love everything about The FP. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone. It has lots of humor...some moments were I laughed so hard I almost cried. It's also like a movie straight out of the eighties...it just has that feel. I'm hoping for a sequel. And I am not a person who loves to see sequels coming out.

How one independent film can mix together a dance culture satire lampooning everything from "Breakin'" to "Step Up" with the feel good attitude of "Rocky" and "The Karate Kid" while topping it off with a pinch of "The Road Warrior" and "Class of 1984" is beyond me. However, one movie successfully does just this. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to "The FP." In the not-so-distant future, Frazier Park, CA is overrun by alcoholics in a land where consumption of the drink is limited and they've turned to meth and other drugs for their fixes. Two gangs now run the streets of the apocalyptic city. They settle their disputes through a dangerous street-level version of the video game "Dance, Dance, Revolution." Only one will be left standing when the gangs clash against each other and decide their fates playing "Beat, Beat Revelation!" Words can't possibly describe how literally ridiculous this movie is. They also can't describe how fun it is. I couldn't stop smiling the entire time. The urban street lingo flowing out of the white and Asian characters' mouths is laugh-out-loud hilarious. Everything in this movie feels like the result of a car wreck between the dance, new wave, redneck, and punk cultures of the 1980s and 1990s. How the actors played their roles straight-faced is beyond me. "The FP" is something to behold. I guarantee you've never seen a movie like it. I've never witnessed a film that perfectly captures the decline of Western civilization while simultaneously being inspirational. Rob Zombie said it best when he described it as "'The Karate Kid' starring Snake Plissken versus white trash Clubber Lang against the backdrop of 'The Warriors' set to a bumping disco John Carpenter soundtrack in the world of 'Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo.'" Enough said, yo!

It's hard for me to rate this movie because the creators CLEARLY knew what they were doing when they made this movie, unlike other "awful" movies such as Troll 2 where they actually attempted to make a good movie.And thing is, the FP succeeds completely in what they set out to do (where as other movies like Snakes on a Plane and The Expendables completely come up short in my eyes).It's just the perfect level of ridiculousness, not too much (you can never have too much with a movie like this) and certainly not too little. You have to ask yourself one question when watching this movie: Russel Crowe's Maximus said it best in the movie "The Gladiator":"ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED???!!!"And boy does this movie entertain you - from start to finish my eyes were glued to the screen, in semi-disbelief at what was unfolding. From the start - to the ending scene (which in my eyes was the director giving us a little "wink" saying "We knew what we were making") This movie is just non-stop entertainment.I suppose it isn't for everyone, but honestly if you have any sort of heart or soul at all I just can't see how you wouldn't fall in love with "The FP"I don't understand people that went into this movie expecting some serious film. Did they not see the previews? Warring clans that settle their disputes by having a DDR match to the Death? Just what the hell were you actually expecting when you picked up this movie?The movie delivers on all levels that it intended to, and for that I give this movie a PERFECT 10 out of 10. Never Ignorant, Getting' Goals Accomplished.
