1/5 |
The main problem is its sheer laziness. Where the likes of Airplane! ...had a soft spot for the genre they were satirising and used that to cleverly subvert expectations and provide surprises, everything about Dance Flick is tame. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
As indignity and amateurishness battle for depressing precedence, Dance Flick becomes the comedy equivalent of torture porn, albeit with worse SFX and notably fewer laughs. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
To say they fail is to insult the word fail. Scene for scene, there were probably more chuckles in The Reader. Full Review |

|
1/5 |
This comedy is so bad it will make you want to tear out your eyeballs and use them as ear plugs. Full Review |
||
|
|
Aims at the lowest common denominator of taste and falls well below its target. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
Cheap, dire, tedious, unfunny, offensive and desperate attempt to induce laughter. Those are just a small selection of the disparaging adjectives that can be applied to this putrid tripe. Full Review |

1/5 |
A musical spoof with two left feet and no rhythm.

1/5 |
I's even more depressing that the laughs are tumbleweed-thin on the ground and so unfathomably groan-worthy. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
Fart jokes and fat gags are top of the agenda in this flat-footed parody. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
The genre is ripe for mocking. But this steers clear of smart observational comedy and goes for gross-out every time. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
Toothless and obvious, even its ‘best’ gag – a farting-ballerina set piece – was done more effectively, for free, on YouTube a year ago. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
The simple strategy behind the film? Step one: take an iconic scene from a popular film. Step two: add either a) a black stereotype, b) a fart, a burp or some other bodily function, or c) a gay joke. Step three: double-check it’s offensive. Full Review |

|
0/5 |
A depressingly stupid parody of movies such as Save The Last Dance and Step Up, this relies even more than their previous films on toilet humour. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
Less a movie and more a series of sorry sketches, Dance Flick is about as bad as it gets. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
Most of the humour is obvious and the rest of it is adolescent at best. There are only so many jokes about bodily functions or homosexuality one person can stand. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/5 |
Much of the material is stupid enough to make anyone's brain ache. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
Fans of their Scary Movie and its sequels know what to expect, though perhaps even they will notice here a thinning in the comedy and a coarsening in its misogynist and homophobic riffs. Not an honest laugh in 90 minutes. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
Desperately unfunny comedy that lurches clumsily from one tedious spoof scene to the next, under the mistaken impression that just referencing a film or a celebrity is enough to get laughs. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
A few very throwaway chuckles rank it above Meet the Spartans and Disaster Movie in the movie gutter, for what it's worth, but it's been assembled with the usual shoddiness. Full Review |
