This hip-hoppy dance-off melodrama is about as funky as an Amish funeral.

Variety

A pic so thoroughly generic as to suggest a contraption assembled from spare parts with the aid of a how-to manual.

The teams seem to be competing for little more than bragging rights and one of those giant "Toddlers & Tiaras" trophies.

Battlefield America is rambling, awkward - and the ultimate immature fantasy. It will have its fans, but I am not one of them.

Cinemalogue

The dance sequences are energetic and the kids are charming enough, but the generic script is underdog formula throughout.

I'm working on a new screenplay now and movies like this are the reason why i stay re-writing. I brought it on blu ray for $1.99,though, so i guess it was worth watching once.
