About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like music-driven stories with a lively, early hip-hop feel, especially if School Daze or Groove worked for you; Not for you if you want a deeper, more serious drama.
Pros: energetic music scenes; lively hip-hop atmosphere; fun period feel | Cons: thin story; uneven pacing; light character depth
