Megan begins a fraught romance with Charity’s brother, Thomas (Damon Wayans Jr.), a leader of a dance crew that is in debt to the villainous Sugar Bear.

The child’s father, Baby Daddy (Shawn Wayans), appears now and then and generously provides a snapshot of himself so his son can see his face every morning. She eventually lands in Music High School, where she is befriended by Charity (Essence Atkins), a single mother who blithely stashes her infant in her locker during school hours. Megan auditions for Juilliard, writhing to Rick James’s “Super Freak,” which is not exactly what the judges had expected.

Moody (Marlon Wayans), teaches his male acting students to react by punching them hard in the face or kissing them full on the mouth. Dance Flick - like all of the spoof flicks before it - weaves a loose plot around parodying dozens of dance-themed movies (Save the Last Dance, Step Up. Amy Sedaris is especially funny as the school’s tart-tongued dance teacher, who has a prominent anatomical abnormality. A free-for-all of gross-out humor, “Dance Flick” lets racial and sexual jokes fly. The Wayans style, established in the first two “Scary Movies,” relies on the density of jokes that push the acceptable bounds of taste to keep the comedy aloft. Besides “Dreamgirls” and “High School Musical,” references include “Flashdance,” “Step Up,” “Save the Last Dance,” “You Got Served,” “Stomp the Yard,” “Black Snake Moan,” “Twilight,” “Hairspray” and Heather Mills in “Dancing With the Stars.”

“Dance Flick” offers a nonstop barrage of jokes and quotations from movies and television that are all the funnier if you know the sources, although familiarity is not required.

Even this tragedy (which is later re-enacted as a comic ballet) is played for laughs, as rescue workers ignore the mother trapped under the vehicle and greedily scoop up leaking gasoline. DANCE FLICK Director(s): Damien Dante Wayans Cast: Essence Atkins, David Alan Grier, Damon Wayans Jr. Watch Dance Flick (2009) Full Movie Street dancer Thomas Uncles is from the wrong side of the tracks, but his bond with the beautiful Megan White might. In the early scenes the plans of its heroine, Megan (Shoshana Bush), a ferociously ambitious ballet hopeful, are interrupted by a car crash that kills her mother on the way to a Juilliard audition. Two teens (Shoshana Bush, Damon Wayans Jr.) from opposite sides of the tracks come together through their passion for dancing. In a Zac Efron caricature that’s almost as funny, the decidedly un-macho son (Brennan Hillard) of the basketball coach at Music High School, where much of the movie takes place, flounces happily into the street, trailed by admiring fellow students as he crows a version of “Fame” whose title exclamation has been changed to “Gay!” Grier ultimately steals the movie with a tour-de-force parody of “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going,” from “Dreamgirls,” in which “You’re gonna love me” becomes “You’re gonna feed me.” Bouncing on the dance floor like a lead balloon, this heaving blob of a character, known as Sugar Bear, opens a gaping fissure with each collision and ends up squashing a bystander flatter than a pancake.Ī loan shark and drug lord with a cuddly name, Sugar Bear spends his days stuffing his face with Krispy Kreme doughnuts and pumpkin pie, a package of sugar by his side. Maybe they should do Michael Haneke Flick, where Damon Wayans will white up and freckle up to play Isabelle Huppert, running into shot and screaming: 'Oh my Gaad, in theory I'm this super-great piano teacher but, euuuuw, I'm secretly dysfunctional and self-harming.' Then Marlon Wayans comes on with his nose built up as Daniel Auteuil and says: 'Goddamit, Isabelle, are you the one sending me these videos?' Then they stop, point to someone off camera and say, in stunned recognition: 'Amy Winehouse?' Just a thought.The spectacle of David Alan Grier break-dancing in a fat suit is one of half a dozen uproarious scenes in “Dance Flick,” the Wayans family’s explosively funny spoof. Surely the time has now come for the Wayans Brothers to cast their net more widely in the name of satire. Dance Flick is a parody of dance movies such as High School Musical.

The most horrible thing about this kind of spoof is when they run out of ideas entirely and go off-genre - this film's off-genre gag is a pointless send-up of Twilight - and for some reason the name Amy Winehouse is always supposed to be good for a laugh. Dance Flick is to dance movies, what the Scary Movie series is to horror movies.

The only remotely reasonable thing is a jab at the not-really-out-of-the-closet gayness of the TV show Fame: but this is an idea stolen from Team America World Police.
