Before shooting began, the dancers rehearsed for eight weeks to develop off-the-hook new dance moves, which begs the question: Who was working on the script during that time?

Lacks the old-school charm of films like Wild Style and Breakin'.

If you can drown out the reductive story and the Afterschool Special dialogue, you should have no problem enjoying the tight choreography.

Jan 21, 2015It's dull in plot and flat in performance, but You Got Served's undeniably talented choreography and energetic dance numbers is just enough to shroud the plentiful missteps the film took. 3.5/5Eugene B Super Reviewer

Oct 31, 2011It was "cool". Other than the dancing, everything else was cheesy: acting, scenes, etc. Good to watch once, but nothing more.Eric A Super Reviewer

Apr 02, 2011Today, I will review the critically acclaimed Academy Award winning musical, "You Got Served". I've seen quite a couple movies about dance crews. Many have great dancing but don't really have a plot. I give "You Got Served" kudos for actually having a story. Its about a dance crew (OBVIOUSLY!) who is famous around the neighborhood. They called up by another dance crew to do a dance-off (OBVIOUSLY!) with the reward being fifty grand. After the dance-off, the crew finds out that most of their moves were taken. They get SERVED by the other crew and comepete in a professional dance-off where not only they win a lot of moola, but get casted in Lil' Kim's new music video. I forgot to mention the film's subplots. There is a romance subplot that revolves around Omarion and the cute Jennifer Freeman and a whole lazily developed gangster crime subplot. The crime subplot didn't work and the romance was "meh". "You Got Served" is like watching an episode of a BET series extended to movie length. I really like hip-hop and break dancing but this movie just didn't work. I find it so funny how the creators try to get us emotionally attatched to the characters. I know you readers are not gonna waste your time seeing this depending on your tastes but one character gets killed off-screen. The acting was okay not terrible. The acting looks like "YGS" was an amateur film for YouTube. By the way the characters act and go along, we know we're not going to remember them by the time the film ends. These aren't memorable characters. Break dancers just come and go. Predictability level: high and low. At some points we knew how it was gonna go down and some points we don't. Lastly, the dancing. Good but not great. Dance moves are so familiar and been-there-done-that. Better than many dance flicks but it still isn't anything special. I've seen many movies that are so better than this. We can say that the writer/director of the film just got SERVED by better directors! I'll just watch "America's Best Dance Crew" for the time being. From the creators of "You Got Served" comes "Voltron": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OvfuLI2CBc&feature=relatedBentley L Super Reviewer
