1/5
"The main problem is its sheer laziness. Where the likes of Airplane! ...had a soft spot for the genre they were satirising and used that to cleverly subvert expectations and provide surprises, everything about Dance Flick is tame."  Eye for Film  Amber Wilkinson

"'Dance Flick' may be offensive to dancers and other living things, but it's also very funny."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Betty Jo Tucker

3.5/5
"a very funny, very entertaining film. Is it perfect? No way. Does it live up to the reputation of classic comedy spoofs like Airplane! and The Naked Gun? Well... yes."  Filmcritic.com  Bill Gibron

B-
"I mean, come on: it's a scant 75 minutes long, contains a well-deserved swipe at the goofiness that is the Twilight saga, and features a beatboxing vagina. If that doesn't marginally entertain you, nothing will."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

2/4
"So is Dance Flick worth recommending? Not for everyone, or for many. But there is an exuberance in the direction, and a certain not-easily-offended audience who will eat it up. You know who you are."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

2/4
"Aside from a half dozen salient bits that call bull**** on the white-black symbiosis portrayed in films such as Step Up, more times than not Dance Flick falls flatter than Eddie Murphy's butt in Norbit."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

F
"So to all the world's 8th-graders I say this: Don't give up hope! Keep making the same jokes you're making now, and you may one day be a filmmaker, too!"  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

0/5
"A spoof on dance movies that offers escapism of the lowest sort."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

"Parental Content Review"  Screen It!  Jim Judy

2.5/5
"Pro forma and tasteless, if not excessively vulgar, the movie loses its urgency when it becomes an almost verbatim example of the melodrama it's skewering."  Boxoffice Magazine  John P. McCarthy

2/5
"For the die-hard fans of the spoof genre, this will be more of the same. But for the rest of us... well, it's more of the same, just in a worse way."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

"A shapeless and crudely made mess that looks and feels like what you might get from a bunch of kids screwing around with a camcorder at a family reunion (and considering the number of Wayans involved, that could actually be the case here)"  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

1/5
"This pastiche never manages to find an actual joke. We're left with a painfully convoluted non-plot trying to link together a series of lead-ins to never-realised punchlines."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

3/10
"Crude, offensive and amateurish, it exhibits all the wrong moves since the nimble bits are in the trailer."  SSG Syndicate  Susan Granger
