The FP is a 2011 indie action-comedy movie directed by Brandon and Jason Trost, and produced by Trost Bros. Productions. The film follows the story of two brothers, JTRO (Jason Trost) and BTRO (Brandon Barrera), who live in a post-apocalyptic world and must compete in a dangerous underground game of dance-fight to save their hometown of Frazier Park (FP) from rival towns who want to take over their city.

The movie starts by showing the dismal state of Frazier Park, where the people are living in squalor and constantly under the threat of violence from their neighboring towns. JTRO, the film's protagonist, is initially uninterested in the game of "Beat-Beat Revelation," a dance-fight tournament that has replaced the traditional forms of combat in the region. However, after the death of his brother BTRO, who was also the reigning Beat-Beat champion of FP, JTRO is forced to step up and take his place as the hero of the town.

The storyline of the movie is simple and straightforward. JTRO has to win the Beat-Beat contest and bring back Frazier Park's lost pride. But the film's standout feature is its unique setting and quirky characters. The movie is set in a post-apocalyptic world where street gangs rule the lands, arcade games have replaced guns as weapons, and dance-battles are fought to the death.

JTRO, the leading man, is an irresistible badass with a mullet, who wears a red jumpsuit and a headset throughout the film. He is helped by his best friend KCDC (Lee Valmassy), who also serves as his mentor/trainer. Together they form an unbeatable team that dominate the competition.

Another notable character in the film is L Dubba E (Art Hsu), the leader of Frazier Park's rival gang, the 248. He is the arch-nemesis of JTRO and serves as the main antagonist of the movie. But despite his evil plans, L Dubba E's character is hilarious, and his lines are some of the funniest in the film.

One of the best things about The FP is its humor. The movie is a comedy with its tongue firmly in its cheek, and it's enjoyable to watch as a goofy and hilarious romp through a bizarre post-apocalyptic world. It pokes fun at classic action films like Rocky and The Karate Kid while still managing to be its own unique creation.

The dance scenes in the movie are also one of the highlights. They are well-choreographed, energetic, and fun to watch. The beat- beat music which serves as the soundtrack throughout the movie makes you want to dance and adds an extra layer of entertainment to the overall experience.

However, The FP isn't just a fun movie. It also has a few things to say about the power of camaraderie, the dangers of addiction, and the importance of community. The film manages to touch upon these themes without getting too heavy-handed or preachy and fits nicely into the movie's overall tone.

In conclusion, The FP is a unique and entertaining movie that is well worth watching for its humor, music, and dance scenes. Its bizarre post-apocalyptic world is both ridiculous and compelling, and its characters are unforgettable. The film is a successful fusion of action, comedy, and music that will leave you wanting more.

The FP is a 2012 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 22 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.4 and a MetaScore of 48.
