Torture throughout. The plot was horrible. Even the romantic part. I found absolutely nothing funny except for when the kid wakes up after his coma and asks why they don't show music videos on MTV anymore. Everything else was absolutely unnecessary. The dance scenes weren't even fun. This looks like a film for teens, so I want nothing to do with it. If you like dancing films then at least watch films like Dirty Dancing or Step Up, not this garbage.

Midway through the brainless 80s-flavored comedy Kickin It Old Skool, wannabe third stooge Jamie Kennedy is actually heard to utter I wish they had taken me off life support. Appropriately enough, no statement could better sum up an audiences reaction to seeing this dense endeavorwhether they have been in assisted living or not. Despite an unsuccessful and decidedly short tenure on television, Freaks and Geeks employed funnier 80s-inspited gags in 1 minute than this movie did in its entire running time. Of course, any movie featuring a cameo by legendary Him-Bo David Hasselhoff, ex-wrestler Roddy Piper, CHiP's actor Erik Estrada, AND diminutive Webster star Emmauel Lewis should have been suspect from the get-go. But sadly, these fleeting cameos provided the only respite from moviegoers going into a self-induced boredom coma. In the PG-13-rated comedy Kickin It Old Skool, a man (Kennedy) wakes up in a drastically changed world after being put into a coma 20 years earlier by a freak break-dancing accident. Employing a formula more clandestine than Colonel Sanders 11 secret herbs and spices, Kennedys (Malibus Most Wanted) inane brand of comedy must have been dreamt up in a high school study hall. Only this would explain Kickin It Old Skools reliance on insulting jokes that chiefly diss Asian-Americans and the mentally-challenged, which is troubling for a film whose hook had promised a comedy taking aim at the Me Generation. What results is a D.O.A. movie that ironically could only be construed as funny to someone born well after the 80s like, say, yesterday. Bottom line: Should've been dropped like third period French.

I have to say as dumb as it looks, this movie was pretty funny! Filled with old 80's songs and retro suggestions with a really funny cast, it was not that bad. Bobby Lee and Miguel Nunez were hilarious and the story although weak and predictable was not horrible. Jamie Kennedy in the lead was funny as well and kept it moving.
