'Dance Flick' web reviews

Dance Flick opens this weekend

The Wayans brothers are back on the big screen, and this time, they are spoofing dance flicks including "Step Up" and "Save the Last Dance." Damien Wayans' "Dance Flick" stars Shoshana Bush, Damon Wayans Jr., Essence Atkins and Amy Sedaris, and here is what some of the Web's critics think about the film:

• Ron Henriques at LatinoReview: "It came as a shock to me that most of the brothers worked on the script since the material feels so dry."

CinemaBlend's Katey Rich: "Maybe the problem isn't that the Wayans have lost their touch for absurdity, but that the spoof genre got away from them, morphing into something not even they could steer."

• Cole Abaius at FilmSchoolRejects: "It’s just sad to see that comedians that were once at the forefront of the game have failed to keep up with the envelope after pushing it."

• Brian Orndorf at BrianOrndorf.com: "At its worst, “Dance Flick” incites a few groans and uncomfortable silences. At its best, it’s an energetic, slaphappy comedy with a cheerful attitude."
