Additional InformationThe worlds of dancing and spoof step up and throw down in DANCE FLICK, the latest melange of movie parody from the Wayans clan. As the film opens, we meet Thomas Uncles (Damon Wayans Jr.), a hip hop hopeful whose dance competition loss puts him in debt to gargantuan gang leader Sugar Bear (David Alan Grier). But his luck begins to change when he meets the new girl at his performing arts high school, Megan White (Shoshana Bush), an aspiring ballerina whose Juilliard dreams are shattered when her mother dies a heroically protracted death on her way to Megan's audition. Though they start as prickly competitors, it isn't long before Thomas and Megan's mutual love of dance enables them to overcome the social and racial barriers between them. But will their unlikely love story be enough to inspire all of the school's students, rekindle Megan's dreams, and save Thomas as he returns to the hip hop battlefield of his earlier defeat? In true family style, star Wayans Jr. and director Damien Wayans were assisted by the talents of fellow Wayans Keenen Ivory, Shawn, Marlon, Craig, and Kim to bring the film to life. Poking fun at everything from FAME to HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL to TWILIGHT, DANCE FLICK is a raucous send-up that keeps its scatological beat grooving from start to finish.
ReviewsUSA Today - Hits its mark with nimble execution, Hollywood Reporter - The Wayans brothers manage to squeeze it all in to consistently amusing effect and in a way that just barely manages to stay within those PG-13 parameters, Variety - [Delivers] just enough laughs to justify its existence, Irish Times - This agreeably unpretentious romp raises decent laughs... The performances are so secure and the satire so focused that I almost find myself looking forward to the next decade of MOVIE movies, Entertainment Weekly - Enjoyably dirty-minded sendup of when-ballet-met-hip-hop youth musicals... piles on the stupid/smart gags with just the right what-the-hell abandon... but what's funniest is its dissection of message-movie piety, Los Angeles Times - The comic footing is nimble as the Wayans family grinds through the formulaic with its parody buzz saw, New York Times - Its belly laughs leave you feeling liberated and not guilty; I repeat, not guilty
