DANCE FLICK

I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND THAT "DANCE FLICK" WAS NOT AS BAD AS I EXPECTED. AMONG THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THIS GENRE - CHILDISH, SILLY, OVER THE TOP,
SATIRE / PARODY OF TEENAGE COMING OF AGE FILMS, THIS WAS WATCHABLE AND NOT OUT OF CONTROL.

MOST OF THE TIME AND THAT IS ABOUT 75 PERCENT, THE MAKERS REALIZE EARLY INTO THE FILM THAT THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SAY AND SO, THEY JUST DO ANYTHING TO REACH THE RUNNING TIME NEEDED TO SELL THE SHOW TO TELEVISION SPONSORS.

IN THIS WAYANS BROTHERS MOVIE, THAT IS NOT THE CASE; THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE A COMPETENT FILM FROM START TO FINISH AND WHILE THERE IS NOTHING NEW AND THERE IS NO REASON TO SEE IT BEFORE IT LANDS ON TELEVISION AND EVEN THEN, THERE IS NO URGENCY TO VIEW IT - IT IS NOT REPUGNANT.

WHILE YOU MIGHT THINK "NOT REPUGNANT" IS LESS THAN A RINGING ENDORSEMENT - BASES ON THE RECENT CROP OF THESE TEENAGE COMEDIES, THAT IS HIGH PRAISE.
