Critics Consensus

Dance Flick scores a few laughs thanks to the Wayans brothers' exuberance, but it's ultimately a scattershot collection of gags without much direction.

1/5

To say they fail is to insult the word fail. Scene for scene, there were probably more chuckles in The Reader.

This comedy is so bad it will make you want to tear out your eyeballs and use them as ear plugs.

A musical spoof with two left feet and no rhythm.

If you want to lower your adolescent's IQ, just drop him off a high cliff onto a hard surface. I promise it will be less painful than watching Grier break-dance in a fat suit.

I may like this genre of comedy, but a film like this makes me hope it's going to fade soon.

Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é mais ou menos, as cenas são bacaninhas, a história é mais ou menos, o elenco é mais ou menos, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são bacaninhas, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, o filme faz Paródias de outros filmes como save the Last dance 2001, ray 2005, hairspray 2007 e outros filmes de dança, com tudo isso, eu até recomendo esse filme.

I’ve never laughed so hard at a film before. It is the most stupid thing that someone could’ve thought of making. I will quote this daily.

Critics Missed the Point—Shocking, I Know Dance Flick got panned like it was trying to be Citizen Kane. Newsflash: it wasn’t. It’s a dumb, hilarious, unapologetic parody—Scary Movie for dance films—and it nails it. If you’ve ever seen Save the Last Dance or You Got Served, this movie roasts them perfectly. Is it stupid? Absolutely. But it’s also funnier than half the stuff with “Certified Fresh” slapped on it. Critics just didn’t get the joke—again.

This is the best comedy since that 1978 classic, Animal House. The Academy Awards will be flying when thus hits the theaters again.
