Too much of everything

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Dance Flick is very bad film. Filled with unfunny joke, after unfunny joke, after unfunny joke. This goes for almost all the Wayans brothers write, direct, or produce. Some people like this humour for some odd reason. The humour like many other Wayans movie is loud, obnoxious, and did I say unfunny. This movie, even among bad movies, is very awful. A humour that only people who have live under a rock for hundreds of years, decided to come out and realize that this movie wasn't in the least bit amusing. Jokes that a 5 year old makes when they don't like something is a 100 times funnier. If you like parodies, watch "This is Spinal Tap" cause there is at least something to laugh at in that on purpose. Hell even the cover of Spinal tap is funnier than the Wayans brothers entire group of film parodies. And if your thinking you want to watch a bad movie to make fun of, don't. There is absolutely nothing redeemable with this awfully unfunny film. Did I forget to mention that it sucks.

There is one thing in film that I can't stand especially in the last new millennium is the spoof genre. The ridiculous, over the top, disgusting humor that forces jokes into a tired story by making fun of various types of movies that don't deserve being made fun of. Scary Movie brought stupidity to a whole new level. The quality of films in the spoof genre shrank to the worse level of stupidity after the nineties leaving behind the Naked Gun films, Airplane and classics like that. All this being said imagine my shock when Dance Flick actually turned in a reasonably less stupid, and actually funny (even if it was guilty pleasure laughing) with a decent story no matter how silly it might be. The films they poke fun at actually work into their story and they use the teen dance flick "Save The Last Dance" as the basis of their story and that works too. The cast really meld well together and the toilet humor is in full swing which is almost a given with this type of movie, in some ways it always has been. But repeatedly I found myself laughing and shaking my head at the pure silliness but yet still entertaining me so bravo to them.Relative newcomer Shoshana Bush leads the cast as dancing hopeful and awkward clutz Megan. In true comedienne style Bush uses physical comedy and terrific facial expressions to really bring home the laughs. She likely has a promising career in comedy if she gets out of this spoof genre because as okay as this movie is...it's not likely to get her anywhere. Damon Wayans Jr. continues the Wayan's shaky ground career in spoof movies, lord knows the Scary Movie films were enough to make me never watch a spoof movie again. However Wayans Jr. does a decent job of not overdoing the slapstick comedy, a mistake his father made on numerous occasions. Wayans Jr. And Bush are kind of cute together but then don't have a lot of chemistry. Essence Atkins plays Wayans Jr's sister Charity and she is hilarious. Her over the top performance really stands out in this cast and she is ridiculously funny. Veteran young actor Affion Crockett is also good, very funny, and not overused as the best friend A-Con.If I sound like I'm talking this movie up like it's a must see treat of the year then let me back pedal. I still hate spoof movies and if I could go back in time I probably would have saved the Microsoft points (I rented it on Xbox 360) and not paid money or currency for this. That being said if you stumble onto it via cable or someone else rents it and forces you to watch it then you won't be at a complete loss of an hour and a half or less. Fortunately like many spoof films it has a mercifully short run time. The ridiculousness will make you smile despite yourself and the cast is decent enough to make it work. So if you can lower your intelligence or if you actually enjoy parody/spoof movies then this one is at least redeemable and that is saying something. 6/10

I have seen some of the Wayans Brothers previous movies. Although, I'm not a big fan of spoofs, I do like the occasional one and thought this movie would make me laugh a little (like Scary Movie did), I Was Wrong!! I couldn't finish watching it, it was just... too terrible. The exaggerated jokes are just not funny... AT ALL. I also think there was too much offending going around; I have to admit that I have laughed at offensive jokes in other movies (we all have), but this one just goes over board a bit, to the limit where is just offensive and not funny. I really like comedies and movies that make me laugh in general, I think it makes me feel happier and gives my brain a bit of a vacation from the stress, so I actually feel offended by how the writers thought that we might actually laugh at a bunch of absurdities that don't really make sense. Please, Do Not Waste Your Money on this film and try to find something better to watch.

Just like Steven Seagal should have stopped making films long ago, the Wayans Bros should have stopped while they were at a high.Only 10 people filled the cinema seats, including me. I was tempted to leave half way as there was no story to keep me interested, but the humour is nothing inventive.You will find yourself laughing at some of the slapstick that's thrown at you, but the film is a real waste of good money and time. I don't think even Five.TV will want to show it either, and they're good at putting really dire films on.Choose another film to watch. The Wayans Brothers have had a very good run over the last 17 years and they should leave it at that.I mean, even the one single fart-joke was badly used in one scene. It's the one last weapon for a laugh in a film and they still managed to bodge it all up.
