Reality TV Movie

I was laughing nonstop throughout this movie. The closest genre I can think of in terms of the type of humor and dance scenes is "Strictly Ballroom", but its fast paced edits from scene to scene and use of special effects really are a new genre that I have never seen before - very memorable. It makes fun of almost all of the reality TV shows out there and has tons of references to famous movie scenes that go by quickly if you are not paying attention. You root for the underdog and the bad guys are bad. The humor is goofy, often off color, never mean- spirited. The plot line has so many unexpected twists, you can never predict what will happen next. Very clever writing. I like that it plays with stereotypical characters- giving each some totally unexpected dimension. Saw it twice in the theaters and will go see it again. Funniest comedy I have seen in quite a few years.

Having no expectations going into this movie, as I knew this was the first big screen movie by this director/actor, I surprisingly found myself laughing throughout the entire movie!! A lot of these actors were not holding back anything and gave it 110% in order to achieve their goals of making the characters shine. As an audience, I really appreciated it! I also enjoyed the great dancing skills displayed by these immature actors, who are professional ballroom dancers. Way to make fun of those reality dancing shows :) There is room to improve this movie, of course, but the self taught computer graphics by the director was quite impressive! I highly recommend this movie! And I look forward to seeing their future movies!

From the first view this movie is satisfying as a good parody and funny enough to keep you and the audience laughing out loud.

But this movie is more than a simple comedy. Buried in an ugly duckling story we have a highly motivated underdog struggling to win over the dance judges and vast TV viewing audience. There is family honor to redeem but more important is the dream of wining a beautiful and fascinating woman.

The second view is a nice time to enjoy the audience reaction and to let the many over-the-top characters and innuendos sink in.

Visually pleasing, nicely constructed and acted. Pretty much a must watch for anyone that has been watching 'Dancing With the Stars' or other competitive dance events.

First time directer, producer Tytus Bergstrum made some sweet music, i.e. Reality TV Movie, with an inexperienced cast.

I delighted in the characters: The hostess with the mostest expressive cocaine inspired face. Mia Favor's entrance and demonstrations! Maximus the maxinarcisist; The judges spoofing of 'stars' and 'so you think you can dance' judges. Lollypop's dance moves and ameri-Asian moves.

From the strong characters flowed relationships.

The film starts slowly then builds.

It is much needed satire of the 2 dance reality TV shows (DwS and SYTYCD), spoofing many cultural icons along the way. What fun!

Going into the film, all I knew was that this was a comedy. I also went to watch this film with an open mind and the expectation that it was going to be funny. I found myself laughing thought-out the film. Afterwards I had a chance to meet the director and some of the actors of this film. They were all very nice and I had the opportunity to let them know that I had a really enjoyed the fruits of their labor in making this film. I was impressed that this film was made by a person who was self taught in the art of film making. I really had a good time taking part in the premiere showing of this film. This film was truly funny and entertaining.
