Naturally, the entire Wayans clan gets in on the action. Sugar Bear resembles Jabba the Hutt of "Star Wars" and cannot consume enough candy, pies, and sugary treats.Primarily, director Damien Wayans has taken "Save the Last Dance" and crossed it with "Step Up 2 The Streets," adding characters from other movies like "Hairspray," "Ray," and "Fame." For instance, an obese girl like Tracy from "Hairspray" attends the school and the basketball coach has a son who resembles Zac Efron from "High School Musical." Grier is riotous in an obvious fat suit as a Sugar Bear and Chris Elliott plays Megan's sordid, low-life father.

Now, they owe the five grand to a local gangsta, Sugar Bear David Allen Grier of "An American Carol", and he demands his dough. They have lost $5-thousand during their last street dance contest. They have a dance crew that participates regularly in street dance competitions. Thomas dreams of attending Jus Community College. A-Con is a street hoodlum with no ambition, but Thomas aspires to be a gynecologist. Meanwhile, Thomas and his main man, A-Con Affion Crockett of "Soul Men", have their own troubles. Cameltoé Amy Sedaris of "Bewitched", who lives up to her descriptive surname. Megan gapes when she meets her dance class instructor, Ms. Each has a counterpart in "Dance Flick," right down to the pairing an obese "Hairspray" type girl and her dream boy jock who would rather play Juliet in "Romeo & Juliet" than dribble for his father's high school basketball team. In another "Save the Last Dance" scene, Charity reprimands Megan for her interracial romance with Thomas because African-American gals are running out of their own race to date.Imagine the usual line-up of characters in teen dance musicals. Charity's brother turns out to be none other than Thomas. Megan's ghetto hall locker neighbor is Charity Essence Atkins of "How High" and Charity hauls her infant son to school everyday and hangs him in her locker while she attends classes. The "Fame" lyrics has been changed to something considerably more salacious as well as silly.

In fact, she escapes from her wrecked vehicle, only to be struck by a car with a Lindsay vanity license tag. Like everything else in the audacious "Dance Flick," the demise of Megan's mother is played strictly for laughs. You rarely have enough time to read all the whacky wall signs plastered in every shot because the film flies by so quickly.After her mom dies in a tragic auto accident rushing to her daughter's Juilliard dance audition, Megan Shoshana Bush of "Fired Up" relocates to the big city to live with her destitute father Chris Elliot of "Cabin Boy" in his condemned apartment. Sometimes, the Wayans insert some pungent political satire into this brisk 83 minute epic, but it doesn't distract from the overall antics. Unless you've seen the aforementioned films, you may not be laughing when others are roaring. Even if you loved the movie getting mocked, a good parody can make you appreciate your favorite movie more because it pays tribute to it.Not nearly as scatological as the first two "Scary Movies," "Dance Flick" relies on the usual hilarious sight gags that the Wayans deploy throughout their derivative, often lowest-common-denominator, plot to skewer the conventions and clichés of those terpsichorean tales. Moreover, the Wayans have ripped into some classics, such as "West Side Story" and "Singing in the Rain." Indeed, the fun of most parodies is spotting the movie being jeered first and hoping second that you'll cheer the jeers. Parody movie since "Superhero Movie" 2008.
