I can remember the 30 seconds of funny much better than I can remember the 83 minutes of funny, that's how. Although, this is by far one of the funnier Wayans Productions I've seen (yet), I still wouldn't want go to pay for this movie in the theater and probably will not watch the movie again. There are quite a few movies Dance Flick imitates or parodies, I guessed 5, but here's a cheat list if you don't recognize some of the scenes: 1. Save The Last Dance 2. Stomp The Yard 3. Step Up 4. Flashdance 5. Step Up 2 The Streets 6. Hairspray 7. Dirty Dancing (cut from final print) 8. Mamma Mia! (cut from final print, can be briefly seen in international trailer) 9. Little Miss Sunshine 10. Crash 11. How She Move (Cut from final print) 12. Black Snake Moan 13. High School Musical 14. Fame 15. Honey 16. Meet the Browns 17. Bring it on 18. Twilight 19. Roll Bounce 20. Dreamgirls 21. You Got Served 22. Brokeback Mountain 23. Superbad 24. America's Best Dance Crew 25. So You Think You Can Dance? 26. Catwoman 27. 1 Night in Paris 28. Little Man 29. White Chicks 30. Ray 31. Disturbia I can't guarantee you'll like everything you'll see in the movie, but should at least tell you, if you decided to watch this movie you should go in with an open mind or you'll definitely be disappointed by the movie. So I can say if you decided to watch it is
.ENJOY!
