Rating: PG-13
Movie Release Date: May 22, 2009
DVD Release Date: September 9, 2009
Plot 411: As the title suggests, it's a movie about dancing that spoofs a bunch of teen rom com and dance movies from the past 10+ years.
Review: Thomas (Damon Wayans Jr.) and his crew enter a dance battle only to lose both their pride and money. Sugar Bear (David Alan Grier), a big syndicate-type fellow in the same vein as Jabba the Hut, sends guys after them to collect his money. At school, Thomas meets Megan (Shoshana Bush), whose mom recently died in a car accident and who has come to the ghetto to live with her father. Megan is out of her element but quickly makes friends with Charity (Essence Atkins), Thomas' sister. Despite being a product of the Wayans brothers (and their brood), this movie does not live up to its potential. The gags are all pretty lame, even though there's a diverse selection of movie parodies. Even the dance numbers aren't on par with the original dance flicks out there. The main plot follows Save The Last Dance pretty closely, but it doesn't even do that movie justice. Many of the characters are just plain annoying and not funny at all. Also in this film are Shawn Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Keenan Ivory Wayans, Kim Wayans and Amy Sedaris.
Watch It: At your own risk. You've already been warned how bad it is.
Skip It: And watch the originals. Those movies are superb works of art compared to this one.
