Rating: Summary: Krush Groove is good fun! Review: This movie is a hip-hop classic. It's not a movie for the bling-bling, bounce-bounce, hip-hop listener or the late comer to hip-hop culture. If you were down with this movement when it first started then you will definitly want to add this one to your video collection. If you are somebody that just got into rap music in the 90's or later... you may not feel it the same way. One of the other reviewers said they were "dissapointed" and didn't understand why Sheila E. got more props than LL or Beastie Boys... that's because they weren't known yet and Shelia E. was... if you were down from the start you would know that. This movie is not for the ignorant or casual hip-hop listener but rather for the seasoned conesiuer that REMEMBERS (not just heard about) when nobody even knew what rap was. This is not for the cats that think they know hip-hop becasue they went out and bought a bunch of old school records and now they think they're an expert. This is for heads that bought LL's "Radio" album when it was brand new in the store... not the one who just got it last week. This is for the REAL hip-hop heads...not the avant-guard backpacker who didn't buy RUN-DMC until after they became legends or thinks LL is different now than he was in '83.

Rating: Summary: Krush Groove is an interactive experience of Joy! Review: This movie is so cute, so happy, so silly, so fun. It has become a member of my family. The music is good, the characters are hilarious, and you can pick out bits of truth and history if you look. You can also play "Where's LL?". He is scattered a few places in the movie. And you get to see the real Russell Simmons talking to the character based on Russell Simmons, played by Blair Underwood. MTV had a hip hop day a couple of years ago, and they featured Krush Groove, hosted by Fab 5 Freddy. (You can also see F5F in the beautiful, classic, solid Wild Style.) The only advisory is to erase or fast-forward through the scene in which the Fat Boys (the Disko 3) are in their science class, right before they get into "Don't you dog me.... Aaarh aaarh, aaarh aaarh....". The classroom part contains an unnecessary dissection scene. Watch it and you'll see what I mean. Enjoy this movie, and by all means --- keep the spirit of Krush Groove alive! Word. :)
Rating: Summary: One of my favorites Review: Watching this movie is definitely a trip down memory lane. Any true fan of Hip Hop will enjoy watching old school artists such as Run-DMC perform. The plot is formulated, but makes for a light-hearted entertaining movie.Qualtity of the DVD is tight as well.

Rating: Summary: Not to be taken too seriously Review: Yeah, this movie is fun if you enjoy first-generation hip hop (which I prefer to the current misongyny and crudeness). Folks, don't rate this one too seriously, this is leave-your-brains -at the door escapist FUN for fans of the music. Sorta like an 80s version of the Beach Party flix, with the group Full Force updating Eric Von Zipper and the Rats (as they would also do in "House Party").
Rating: Summary: Nipsey digs the Old School Hip -Hop Review: You into old school like Nipsey then this is your flick. The great RUN-DMC with the late great Jam master Jay, LL COOL J,Kurtis Blow,The fatboys, Beastie Boys, and The fine Sheila E(WOW) And must for the Hip Hop movie collection. Nipsey digs the soundtrack too.
