Dance Flick Reviews
August 24, 2009
To say they fail is to insult the word fail. Scene for scene, there were probably more chuckles in The Reader.

This comedy is so bad it will make you want to tear out your eyeballs and use them as ear plugs.

A musical spoof with two left feet and no rhythm.
Original Score: 1/5

The genre is ripe for mocking. But this steers clear of smart observational comedy and goes for gross-out every time.

Much of the material is stupid enough to make anyone's brain ache.

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.

Another movie spoof so lame the kindest thing one could do is shoot it and put it - and us - out of our collective misery.

In this enjoyably dirty-minded sendup of when-ballet-met-hip-hop youth musicals, the Wayans brothers hand the directorial reigns over to their nephew, Damien Dante Wayans, who piles on the stupid/smart gags with just the right what-the-hell abandon.

Yes, it's rated PG-13, except it's also inappropriate for anyone over 13.

If there exists anyone in the comedy business less funny than the Wayans clan, it's Amy Sedaris, so she's here, too.

Dance Flick isn't the bottom of the barrel, but for anyone who knew the Wayans family in their heyday, it's nothing but a scattershot disappointment.

The jokes here aren't just low-hanging fruit, they are fruit lazily taken out of the moldy pile.

Dance Flick occasionally hits its mark with nimble execution. But too often it stumbles clumsily into bad taste.
Original Score: 2/4

What it isn't is subtle, smart or particularly funny.

In the grand tradition of spoof movies, most of the best stuff is in the trailer.
Original Score: 2/4

Dance Flick is a movie that will make you yearn for the subtle humor and profound character exploration of White Chicks.

All the Wayans in the world (Keenen Ivory Wayans and the least funny of the gang, Shawn Wayans, were lead Wayans' in the all-Wayans script) can't keep this from running out of mildly amusing ideas after 40 minutes.
Original Score: 2/5

Don't say you haven't been warned.

Only in the Wayans-brothers universe would "surprisingly not terrible" almost qualify as a ringing endorsement.

While there's certainly ample comedic sport to be had at the expense of the recent glut of overly melodramatic teen dance dramas, Dance Flick rarely stays on the beat.
