Critics Consensus

The dance sequences are exhilarating, but everything else about this movie is sloppy and generic.

The List

The dance sequences are awesome, but the weak multi-cliché plot is aimed squarely at an audience recently out of their diapers and who have not yet got bored with MTV.

Rated: 2/5

You Got Served is an okay film. It is about two friends who must first win their city's dance contest in order to open their recording studio. Omarion and Marques Houston give decent performances. The script is a little slow in places. Chris Stokes did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama and music.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It was a disaster of a movie, stupid plot, horrible acting, bad directing; everything you look for in a rotten movie but the sole effort to dance was worth the struggle. (even that wasn't great though)

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
