| Chicago TribuneLynn Van MatreA perennial problem with music-oriented movies is that the excitement of a live performance so seldom translates successsfully to the screen, and rap is no exception. There are plenty of big names involved in Krush Groove, but the music alone isn`t able to carry the film, and the plot certainly can`t. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyUnfortunately, the skimpy screenplay by Ralph Farquhar insists upon entangling the performers in the most conventional subplots imaginable. Talent contests, feeble attempts at romance and the travails of a struggling young record company are all enlisted, however briefly, in the effort to drum up backstage activities for the players, who are best watched in performance anyhow. Rap music is infinitely more original than these creaky devices, and it deserves something better. |
| User ReviewSam GGot to see this one tells you the story how run dmc and the other old skool rappers made it to be what there are now. |
| User ReviewBarrie LThis film really deserves 6-stars. By far one of the illest Hip-Hop movies I have ever seen... <3 |
| User ReviewLeondis JOne of my favorite movies when I was young! |
| User ReviewBill NThat was Real Hip Hop, shit I still have the Krush Groove record. |
| User ReviewNicole HOkay, so I remember going to the movies on the night it opened. Everyone sung the songs with the Fat Boys and Run DMC. Full Force were the bullys, and I screamed when New Edition made their guest apperance. I could go on and on. But if you are a true hip hop fan this is the Movie to keep in your stash. |
| User ReviewTracy JWas the best of the genre for it's time... Actually it may be the best Hip Hop movie ever... |
