School Dance

Nick Cannon directs School Dance, a coming of age comedy. In it Jason is enamored with Anastacia and would do anything to stand out and be noticed in her world. This movie has some funny parts but feels like it is a mix of bits with a bunch of every stereotype imaginable. A cameo by many well known stars, even the current "it" comedy guy Kevin Hart. Mike Epps plays a funny quirky horny principle Rogers and George Lopez is the domineering Latino dad. A peek to the simpler times of high school, when all guys wanted to do was hook up and girls wanted to feel special. The crescendo of the movie is the one night of true debauchery, the school dance. Seems like a blend of other past greats like House Party and Friday. Makes you glad you are no longer a teenager and just be grown and sexy. Take a trip back to high school and watch School Dance. I am sure you will at least get a few laughs out of this movie.

I can never get enough of Kevin Hart, Luenell, Mike Epps, Katt Williams, & Tiffany Haddish! A welcomed addition to the comedy was Lil' Duvall! Great team! But, the booty dancing & lip syncing for what seemed like every 5 minutes was too much! The movie was "School Dance" not "Dance School"! I was sick of watching what was supposed to be teenagers twerking constantly! The comedy was so much more fun!! Still worth it to watch and it was really nice seeing the young man from "Role Models" grown up, Bobbe J Thompson! He did great in his lead role! However, if you are into dancing and hip hop music, this is definitely the movie for you!! Beware, there are many references to race and cultural biases. Sorry if that is considered a spoiler.

There's like 4 funny scenes. The rest of the movie is terrible. Save yourself some time and watch the funny bits on YouTube.

This movie is about as racist as a ministrel blackface show and about as sexist as a... random rap video, I guess...

And 20 solid minutes of it are rappers lipsynching to their not very good 'let me on touch that booty booty booty, hoe' songs, I'm not sure what that genre is called but yeah I'm not a fan of that specific sub-genre of rap, IE which was popular for a couple years in the 2010's...

I was surprised when I saw at the credits that Nick Cannon directed and wrote it, I imagined he would be above stereotyping black people this way but I guess not...

It's not all bad, child star Bobb'e J Thompson from Role Models still has some likability factor about him as a teenager and it was nice to see Wilmer Valderama from That 70's Show and Efren Ramirez from Napoleon Dynamite in 2 different roles, albeit very stereotypical latino ese gangsters...

I was surprised that they didn't throw in a bunch of geeky white people since it was so thriving on stereotypes...

Anyway, the movie is dumb as dirt but somehow it managed to entertain slightly occasionally so yeah I'll slip it a 5, but I can perfectly understand if people hate it, and to be frank, most probably will

Only a couple funny parts, with kevin hart's clique, rest of the movie was cringey (especially the talent show) and that girl with the shaved head is so weird looking ew....
