Youth musical, as essentially innocent and wholesome as an old Garland-Rooney vehicle, about a clique of kids from the Bronx whose talents run high and in many directions (break dancer, rapper, graffiti spray-painter). There's a naturalistic texture to the environment, but the action goes by at such an unrelenting blur as to erode all the grit. Everything feels transitional -- or transitory, anyway. The dance-off between rival break-teams on the Roxy dance floor is a true show-stopper. But it alone. The gala New Year's Eve Requiem, also at the Roxy, is merely a show-ender. With Rae Dawn Chong, Guy Davis, and Robert Taylor; directed by Stan Lathan. (1984) — Duncan Shepherd
