Flicks, Andreas Heinemann
I’m trying to think of something nice to say about this movie but I’m drawing a blank. It really is piss poor on every possible level with its laundry list of botched attempts at humour.

The Wayans brothers brought us such heavenly delights as White Chicks and the Scary Movie franchise. Now there are five, count them, five Wayans involved in the making of Dance Flick, set to spoof dance movies including Fame, Save the Last Dance and Hairspray.
Thomas Uncles (Damon Wayans Jr), a young street dancer from the wrong side of the tracks, and a beautiful young woman, Megan, are brought together by their passion for dancing and put to the test in the mother of all dance battles.

This slapstick and scatological spoof settles for obvious punchlines, delivering just enough laughs to justify its existence without coming anywhere near the bar set by "Scary Movie."

Toothless and obvious, even its ‘best’ gag – a farting-ballerina set piece – was done more effectively, for free, on YouTube a year ago.

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

The miss-and-hit parodies score best when focusing on the Julia Stiles-styled girl next door.

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.
