Sick Product of a Sick System

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

A following addition to the Wayan brothers 'flick' series comes with no added surprise. A collage of goofs, spoofs, jokey jokes, fart jokes, barf jokes without a added side helping of more subtle humour. This time around the hapless target is the onslaught of dance movies initiated by various idiotic TV competitions. Various movies (not only purely dance blockbusters) are naturally winked at including "You got game", "Hair", "save the Last Dance", "Ray" or even the Twilight series.The plot as thin as it is focuses around the characters of Megan (the beautiful Shoshana Bush) and Thomas (Damon Wayans Jr). But given this is really a cascade of wink-winks it truly is hard to piece together a coherent recap of the story.Nonetheless the movie comes with no surprises. Whoever liked the previous Wayan movies (apparently quite a reasonable amount given the Wayans are still making these movies and apparently with a rather sizeable budget) will come out satisfied with this outing, as the humour is unchanged and keeps . Actually the way the Wayans try to joke is so predictable and repetitive it seems that the newest 'flick movie' made by the brothers should be the "Flick Flick", which basically pokes fun at their own genre and its audacious lack of innovation.

Dance Flick is a movie that really isn't funny or even remotely that great. It had some funny moments but not enough to actually be called funny. The acting was bad all in the film, mostly by the lead character Megan, and Thomas. His facial expressions were weird and he was over the top too much. But its a Wayans film, acting isn't always that great in their films. The plot is spoofed from Step Up 2: The Streets. About a girl Megan who wants to live her dream to become a dancer so she moves to another school. This happens when her mother passes away. Many spoofs in this film were unnecessary and just plain unfunny like the spoof of Ray Charles from "Ray", "Fame", and others. Spoofing Ray Charles was a surprise because "Ray" isn't a dance movie, and this movie is called Dance Flick. They also spoofed "Twilight" at the very ending. I didn't laugh at anything except a few chuckles. And like others have said, many of the funny scenes were in the trailers. One funny scene was towards the end with the final "you got served" dance scene with the fat guy dancing. Also credit to Shawn Wayans character and Affion Crockett (A-con), he was pretty funny. Though overall this movie was just not funny (except a few moments)

A dancer spins so fast that he perforates the floor from the runway where he dances.A ballet dancer rehearses at her home and she knocks the members of her family with the feet during her swift pirouettes.The dance teacher's surname is Cameltoé (with an accent on the "e" to make it sound French).And, as anachronistic as it sounds, we also have a pie in the face.That is the general level of the jokes you will find on this repulsive "movie" called Dance Flick.And we also have in here the obligatory parodies of current events, celebrities and mostly musical movies, even though some of the parodied ones have nothing to do with the musical genre, such as Twilight.However, considering the inexistent quality from this sub-genre (Date Movie, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans), it should not surprise me that co-screenwriters Keenen Ivory, Shawn, Marlon, Craig and Damien Dante Wayans (the last one was also the director) were desperate to generate any laughs.Needless to say that they did not achieve that.The thing which mostly surprised me from Dance Flick is that its producers invested money on the rights from songs such as Fame, Maniac and Superfreak.Sure, we do not hear the original versions in here, but their brief inclusion on such a cheap and improvised movie called my attention.Dance Flick is one of those movies which are so bad which provoked me nausea and made me to wanna puke.Do not waste your time and your money on such a piece of crap like this one.

A lot of people are bashing this movie to shreds. This movie is not to be bashed its hilarious. It brought me out of my depression for a little while. It makes fun of classic dance movies. It could be offensive to those with little to no sense of humor. It kinda picks at gays,African American community,fat people,whites from the suburbs,Interacialdating, All the while doing it in a realistic stereotypical way. As a ex fat girl & African American I was not at all offended. Sometimes the best comedy is the one thats politically incorrect & free to be itself. People that think this movies bad don't know comedy its better then the typical spoof like movies out there. I think the wayans brothers did a glorious job at writing it. I wouldn't say its a 10 out of 10 but I would say its def. about half of that. It deserves better applause & recognition then its been getting. It maybe stupid but its def. funny & not predictable.
