YOU GOT SERVED (2004)



Starring: Marques Houston, Omarion Grandberry, Jennifer Freeman, Meagan Good and Steve Harvey
Directed by Christopher B. Stokes

The Plot: The leaders of an inner-city dance crew must win a street dance competition to keep their reputation and make their material dreams a reality.

Crapterion Commentary: Never EVER before has there been so much badass ass-kicking in a movie that didn't star superhuman Chuck Norris. What makes You Got Served a spectacular treat is that all the ass-kicking is done by the sheer power of dance moves and the sheer power of dance moves alone. And, what we find out from this dance masterwork of Christopher B. Stokes is that these flamboyant moves aren't just pretty, but they can also dump a wallop of visceral pain and emotional suffering on you. Just ask the foolhardy punks from The OC with their bleach-tipped, spiked hair who get served up via the dance virtuoso of Marques Houston, fresh off the classic and classy sitcom Sister, Sister, and Omarion of pop ingenues B2k. The movie is almost too real...? Classic scene: Omarion dancing in the pouring rain. A metaphor for the cleansing of personal demons, but more importantly, to always ALWAYS dance your little heart out!!!

Y'all suckaaas jus got serrrvvved!
