So I was just getting ready to write a post for Waitress, when I happened upon this trailer over at Mad About Movies. Sorry, Keri Russell, but you just got bumped.
Now, I hate Jamie Kennedy with a passion, so normally I wouldn’t think twice about seeing this film. But something about the trailer really rubbed me the right way.
Most of all, I’m just loving the ridiculous story-line: a prepubescent breakdancing phenom falls victim to a tragic break-related accident, which puts him in a coma for 20 years and when he wakes up, he decides to reunite his old crew to enter a breakdancing competition in the hopes of winning back his grade-school sweetheart.
One word: Brilliant! OK, maybe two words: Idiotic/Brilliant!
Marina over at Mad About Movies had a good point, which is that this movie will most likely flop, despite the fact that it holds more appeal than its most obvious competition, Blades of Glory, which will most certainly be a boxoffice smash. Personally, I’m more in the mood for a stupid-humor romp about breakdancing than figure skating, but that’s just me.
Unfortunately, this movie still stars Jamie Kennedy, which precludes me from ever possibly paying $11 to see it, but I will definitely RENT IT.
Kickin’ It Old Skool is rated PG-13 and opens April 27. (Official Site)

I’m with you, still not thrilled about Kennedy but I’m still stoked to see it. Yes, in all it’s big screen, stupid comedy glory.
Breakout the windbreaker!
[…] Kickin’ It Old Skool: I wrote a post a few weeks back about how the trailer for this movie was surprisingly effective in making me actually want to see a Jamie Kennedy movie. I still wish that someone else was in the lead role (Rob Schneider seems like the obvious choice), but I’m at least going to RENT IT, mainly because it allows me to relive my breakdancing-filled youth.
