Rating: 2.5/4 -- If Benson Lee's intention with Planet B-Boy was to set the record straight on the continuing story of break dancers, then his documentary has to be counted a success. With a few caveats. Full Review

Product Description:

Though breakdancing hit the public consciousness in the 1970s and '80s, this style is still going strong. This documentary chronicles groups of break dancers, also known as "b-boys," in their quest to be the best in the world. Appropriately, PLANET B-BOY got its world premiere at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival in New York City, the birthplace of the b-boy phenomenon.
