What to Know

Critics Consensus

Dance Flick scores a few laughs thanks to the Wayans brothers' exuberance, but it's ultimately a scattershot collection of gags without much direction.

Daily Telegraph (UK) To say they fail is to insult the word fail. Scene for scene, there were probably more chuckles in The Reader. Rated: 1/5 Aug 24, 2009 Full Review Cosmo Landesman Times (UK) This comedy is so bad it will make you want to tear out your eyeballs and use them as ear plugs. Rated: 1/5 Aug 24, 2009 Full Review Ryan Gilbey Heat Magazine A musical spoof with two left feet and no rhythm. Rated: 1/5 Aug 24, 2009 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Plain bad. Wrong bad. Horribly bad. Rated: 0/4.0 Sep 5, 2020 Full Review Brandy McDonnell The Oklahoman If you want to lower your adolescent's IQ, just drop him off a high cliff onto a hard surface. I promise it will be less painful than watching Grier break-dance in a fat suit. Rated: 1/4 Aug 8, 2018 Full Review Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight I may like this genre of comedy, but a film like this makes me hope it's going to fade soon.

Eimear Good movie itself but not that many laughs Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/22 Full Review Kevin S The general consensus of this film is mind boggling. Maybe Wayans brothers were just way ahead of their time. This films follows the plot of Save the Last Dance almost verbatim, parodying many other films of the time along the way, such as Step up, Twilight, Ray, and High School Musical. If you haven't seen any of the films it's parodying, you'll likely just be confused. However, if you have, you'll be in stitches the entire film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/10/22 Full Review Audience Member LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 23 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!! The spoof movie I will never forget!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review robert p Sometimes I love tastefully done black Movies, but in this case I laughed my head off because the stunts were incredibly dumb and so was the movie! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review David B This is the best comedy since that 1978 classic, Animal House. The Academy Awards will be flying when thus hits the theaters again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/21 Full Review Audience Member if you didn't watch it don't watch it you won't like it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
