    Funny at times, there was a few laughs here and there. Not one of the best films that take the piss out of other films but wasn't all that bad. I would still reccommend it.
  • January 5, 2011
    I think I liked this more than most just because I like the spoof comedies. Worth watching if you enjoy the satire of spoofs.
  • September 1, 2010
    Yeah, it sucks. No surprises there. Just a warning for anyone considering watching this to see Amy Sedaris, don't bother - she is in it for like a minute. The rest of it is exactly what you would expect for this type of movie. A few laughs, though I hate to admit it, but yeah... read more, lame.

    Not so good.
  • September 2, 2009
    You know what, no special coments or anything to this movie, this was just another movie to make me feel certain that i really do like parodies, all the stupid, black, and anoying humor, are all good to me!

    Kinda funny at times but generally these kinds of movies suck and this one hit the spot once again! Garbage!
    A comedy about a rich, suburban white girl named Tracy Transfat who gets into a series of dancing misadventures when she moves to the inner-city.

    Not the greatest spoof film, but it does have some funny moments. I liked Little Man and White Chicks better than this film. I thought the problem with this film was that they spoofed too many movies. I did like the Fame music sequence spoof and the Hairspray spoof. I didn't real... read morely care for when they spoofed Save the Last Dance or even Step Up. I thought David Allan Grier's character was too over the top and didn't like his Dreamgirls spoof.

    This spoof delivers more gags than laughs, and comes nowhere close to the standards of the Wayan brother's previous work.

    It does what it says on the tin. Typical sexual and stereotypical sillyness from the Wayans brothers. I did laugh out loud regularly but more at the stupidity than anything else.

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/smar... Full Review

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

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

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

Dance Flick occasionally hits its mark with nimble execution. But too often it stumbles clumsily into bad taste. Full Review

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

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

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 aft... Full Review

Can the audience stick with this flick that showed most of its funny bits in the trailer? For the most part, yeah. Full Review
