MOVIE REVIEW: DANCE FLICK

05/21/09

SYNOPSIS: In "Dance Flick," a young street dancer, Thomas Uncles (Damon Wayans, Jr.), from the wrong side of the tracks and a beautiful young woman, Megan White (Shoshana Bush), are brought together by their passion for dancing and put to the test in the mother of all dance battles. "Dance Flick" sends up the dance movie genre, including such recent hits as "Step Up" and "You Got Served," as well as the classic "Flashdance."

REVIEW: To say that "Dance Flick" is one of the best comedies of the year it will be too much. To say that "Dance Flick" is one of the best comedies of the Summer It will be premature, however I have to admit the potential is there. I was very skeptic about this film. I have been so disappointed with prior parody movies (Superhero Movie, Meet the Spartans) before that I didn’t expect much of it, yet I could not stop laughing with this one.

This comedy includes some scene that are so funny that I could not stop laughing . The dance scene is what makes the movie really click. The first 15 minutes or so of the movie are the funniest moment in my recent memory. As soon as I experienced those 15 minutes of the movie I knew what I was getting into. One of those fun none sense films that are just fun. Who cares about screenplay quality when is getting entertain.

I haven’t had so much fun in a movie theater in a long time. Even if you don't like this type of films you will find "Dance Flick" quit amusing… Damon Wayans Jr was great in this movie he has lots of similarity to his dad Damon Wayans Sr in his performance and also bring his unique style that could potentially make him a upcoming star. Of course there is no Wayans movie without the Wayans bros. Shawn Wayans nailed his role as his unique way as a baby daddy. However the only downside to his role was that he wasn’t much in it, but other than that his performance was great. He basically stole each scene he was in. Michael Ponce as Sugar bear was hilarious, he knows how to step it up.. All the past musical movies you can think of are represented in this movie, from High School Musical to Step Up. You guest it! Each with its funny parody.
