no_vampires_here Unbelievable the amount of ignorance and pure hate in the reviews. People, this movie is about fu**ing dancing, not Oscar stories. A bunch of kids dancing and they serve like pros. Not to mention the music which is awesome. I have tried to see many dance movies after this one but non of them catch up.

BoringBlackChick This is the original and the BEST dance battle movie! Of course the story and acting are not great, but that's not what a movie like this is about; those aspects are incidental to a movie BURSTING with charm, electrifying battle scenes and a killer soundtrack. The whole cast were in their prime (and incredibly hot which never hurts) and the passion and love for their craft pours off the screen. People are taking this movie WAY too seriously and are totally missing what it's all about. It's not meant to be a gritty commentary on ghetto life in LA. What it's meant to be is a fantastic celebration of the skill and passion and phenomenal force of nature that was organic street dance battling. This remains one of the most hugely influential aspects of African American culture. It changed the music industry forever, launched countless entertainment careers and spawned countless imitation "dance movies". I'm not ashamed to say I LOVE THIS MOVIE and it will always be one of my all time favourites ever!!!

duece-roo It doesn't get any better than this! I watched Honey, Save the Last Dance, and Step Up. This movie out did them all with the pure energy from the dance scenes. The movie made me want to go out and learn all the last hip hop dances. I watch this movie over and over, granted, mainly for the dance scenes and the music, but that's the whole point of the movie! Everyone has something to say about the overall story. People complain about lame action movies in the same way. Most of Jackie Chan, Jean Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagal movies don't have a great storyline. But the story sets enough of a backdrop so what you came for; the action, will unfold. Its the same way with You Got Served. If you want to watch a movie where the dancing and the storyline were put together better, watch Stomp the Yard. The same dance choreographer, Dave Scott, worked on both films. Well, there is my two cents. I hope you decided to pick this up at Walmart or rent it at Blockbuster. I'm tired of people hating on this film simple because thestory lacked beef. The movie accomplished what it set out to do: update the urban dance genre. If you look at this movie as a movie you won't be impressed. If you look at it as a hip-hop dance movie. This is the best movie out there yet.

heatherw24 I wish I'd read the reviews on here before I wasted 2 and a half hours of my life watching this film when it was on TV last week... Just thought I'd warn any other unsuspecting people, so that they don't make the same mistake I did! It's bad.... the acting is bad... the plot is bad/non-existent... the dancing is good, but then, that only makes up about 15 minutes of the movie, and the other 2 hours and 15 minutes is just painful! Don't do it! And I'm not just saying that because I'm the kind of person who only enjoys deep and meaningful movies... I wasn't expecting it to be an Oscar-deserving epic, but it's not even close to being watchable! Seriously, don't do it!
