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

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 24, 2009

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

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 24, 2009

A musical spoof with two left feet and no rhythm.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 24, 2009

The genre is ripe for mocking. But this steers clear of smart observational comedy and goes for gross-out every time.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 21, 2009

Much of the material is stupid enough to make anyone's brain ache.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 21, 2009

Fans of their Scary Movie and its sequels know what to expect, though perhaps even they will notice here a thinning in the comedy and a coarsening in its misogynist and homophobic riffs. Not an honest laugh in 90 minutes.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 21, 2009

Another movie spoof so lame the kindest thing one could do is shoot it and put it - and us - out of our collective misery.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 21, 2009

In this enjoyably dirty-minded sendup of when-ballet-met-hip-hop youth musicals, the Wayans brothers hand the directorial reigns over to their nephew, Damien Dante Wayans, who piles on the stupid/smart gags with just the right what-the-hell abandon.

| Original Score: B | May 27, 2009

Yes, it's rated PG-13, except it's also inappropriate for anyone over 13.

| May 27, 2009

If there exists anyone in the comedy business less funny than the Wayans clan, it's Amy Sedaris, so she's here, too.

| Original Score: 0/4 | May 26, 2009

Dance Flick isn't the bottom of the barrel, but for anyone who knew the Wayans family in their heyday, it's nothing but a scattershot disappointment.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 24, 2009

The jokes here aren't just low-hanging fruit, they are fruit lazily taken out of the moldy pile.

| May 22, 2009

Dance Flick occasionally hits its mark with nimble execution. But too often it stumbles clumsily into bad taste.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | May 22, 2009

What it isn't is subtle, smart or particularly funny.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 22, 2009

In the grand tradition of spoof movies, most of the best stuff is in the trailer.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | May 22, 2009

Dance Flick is a movie that will make you yearn for the subtle humor and profound character exploration of White Chicks.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 22, 2009

Only in the Wayans-brothers universe would "surprisingly not terrible" almost qualify as a ringing endorsement.

| Original Score: C- | May 22, 2009

While there's certainly ample comedic sport to be had at the expense of the recent glut of overly melodramatic teen dance dramas, Dance Flick rarely stays on the beat.

Full Review | May 22, 2009

Can the audience stick with this flick that showed most of its funny bits in the trailer? For the most part, yeah.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 22, 2009

Its belly laughs leave you feeling liberated and not guilty; I repeat, not guilty.
