Dance Flick Movie Review:by Kadeem Lundy

The Wayans Brothers are back in their new comedy Dance Flick. Dance Flick which is a spoof of such dance films such as Save The Last Dance, Stomp the Yard, You Got Served and Step Up stars Damon Wayans Jr. as Thomas Uncles a young man from the inner city, who connects with a woman named Megan White played by Shoshana Bush in which they are brought together by their love of dancing. in the mix the Wayans, incorporate sendoffs of films such as Twilight into the film.
From the start it's obvious to tell that the characters of Thomas and megan are based on Sean Patrick Thomas and Julia Stiles characters in Save The Last Dance, in which the plot is basically the storyline from Save The Last Dance and You Got Served. However in typical Wayans fashion the jokes and gimmicks are over the top, often times resulting in serious injury or death of a character in the film.
What is different this time around is that the elder Wayans:Marlon, Shawn and Keenan step back and let the younger Wayans take over the direction of the film in which the younger do an impressive job of carrying the film. However the scenes in which the elder Wayans such as Marlon and Shawn appear do hold weight in the film.
Eventhough at times the dialogue was predictable the energy and wittiness of the characters keeps the film going along with the dance numbers. Another interesting thing is about how the Wayans are able to get away with teetering on the brink of an R rated film, but still managing to keep the film PG-13, in which Marlon Wayans would describe as a marketing strategy to legitamately sell to the teen audience.
