The Wayans brothers are back with another spoof film. Dance Flick is a parody of dance movies such as Save the Last Dance, Step Up, You Got Served, Honey, and High School Musical, and a lot more. I must confess that these movies are my guilty pleasures and I had high hopes for this offering from the kings of spoofs.
Megan (Shoshanna Bush) dreams of becoming a dancer but at her audition dance for Julliard, her mother died, along with her chances of getting in the prestigious performing arts school. She then moved in with her father in a condemned building and enrolled in Musical High School. There she met new friends – Tracy (Chelsea Makela), Charity (Essence Atkins), and Thomas (Damon Wayans Jr.).
Thomas was the one who introduced her to street dancing and they tried to accomplish their dancing dreams together, just like in any other dance movie. They also formed a dance crew of misfits in the hopes of winning at a local dance battle, which is featured in the finale of Dance Flick.
Megan (Shoshanna Bush): Thomas I’m leaving you! I don’t wanna be your girlfriend anymore! We spend more time defending our relationship than actually having one! Nobody wants to see us together, not my friends, not yours. I’m saying it’s over.
The Scary Movie franchise were the best spoof movies ever and the rest are just copy cats. Dance Flick had great promise because of the funny team behind it but it was not that hilarious. There was no standout, laugh-out-loud moment. If you like gross jokes then maybe you’ll enjoy this movie. It also felt like I was watching a compilation of skits because the scenes were too random. If you want to know the funny parts, search for its trailers in Youtube.
