Dance Flick (2009)

Nothing is sacred as the Wayans clan spoofs another sub-genre of cinema in their signature style.

Damien Dante Wayans directs his bretheren in yet another campy comedy from the spooftastic family of actors/comedians. The story revolves around a naive young girl named Megan (Shoshana Bush, Fired Up!) who almost gives up a life in dancing, after her mother dies in route to her Juliard audition, when she meets Charity (Essence Atkins, Deliver Us from Eva, How High) and her brother Thomas (Damon Wayans Jr.) at Musical High. Thomas, the attractive boy from the other side of the tracks, is involved in street dancing competitions, and after finding out about Megan's dancing past, he wants to enlist her in attempts to form the #1 dance group in town. There are lots of laughs to be had as the firt family of spoof throws out all the punches by taking from all of your favorite dance movies of the past ten years: Save The Last Dance, Step Up, Stomp The Yard, Honey, and You Got Served.

Some folks out there say this is one of the better spoof's to come out lately, and well, that may be. But seriously, these movies need to stop, they suck. It's only marginally fun to try and pick out the movies they are making fun of, and the slapstick nonsensical comedy is truly below average. But it's a spoof, I guess they are supposed to be that way. I really don't have much else to say about it. If you can keep from seeing it, hats off... but if it happens to find it's way on to your screen, may god have mercy on your soul.
