jurneyever I was really impressed by "Freak Dance." It's a clever, high-octane parody of movies like "Flash Dance" and "Fame." I could see this movie being made into a great musical, because Besser captures the vibe of this genre so well.Matt Besser is an amazing writer, and his sketch-comedy background makes this movie strong. As I watched the "Weed Ghetto" scene, I felt like I was watching an Upright Citizens Brigade sketch from their Comedy Central Days. If you are a fan of Upright Citizens Brigade, or just a fan of good comedy in general, I would definitely recommend this movie.Also: expect great supporting performances from Amy Poehler, Matt Walsh, Ian Roberts, Tim Meadows, Andy Daly, and Horatio Sanz

John Doeington Freak Dance is a musical for people who enjoy dancing but can not stand stupid danceflicks. With a look on the IMDb rating those people are just a minority, but that should not keep you you from watching a funny, artistic and intelligent movie. Every stereotype about dance, like the rich white girl learning to hip hop and winning the dance competition, is presented with extreme irony. Yes, I just wrote extreme irony and as silly as it sounds, you will surely agree after watching Freak Dance. The forbidden and dirty dance, the male dancing rebel, the poor working class dancer and the dance for political reasons, this bad excuses for acting have taken away the fact that dancing is just dancing and that this is enough to be a respected form of art. Freak Dance does dancing some justice and is surprisingly entertaining and above all very well danced and sung.

gavin6942 A spoiled rich girl who wants to be a dancer (Megan Heyn) finds herself caught into between two rival dance groups set to do battle at an underground competition.I walked into this with the lowest of expectations. Upright Citizens Brigade was never top-tier, making more bad skits than good (they are the poor man's Kids in the Hall). And a film mocking dancing films? Sounded cheap and a bit late on the scene. Even the names Amy Poehler, Tim Meadows and more were not thrilling, as I assumed (correctly) they had only brief roles.I was wrong on some of this. This movie was hilarious beginning to end, with incredible songs and entertaining dancing. The plot is stupid and pointless, but that is quite the point -- ignore the plot and just enjoy the scenes one at a time.

Elizabeth This is the raunchy, twisted musical I've waited so long to see. This movie hits controversial (and sometimes morbid) subject matter with up-beat, happy-go-lucky musical numbers, and a multitude of extravagant characters. Leaving you gasping and laughing throughout the entire film! Matt Besser is an amazing writer and performer, who's great at creating weird characters and unusual situations. This time he took a popular, live show from the Upright Citizens Brigade theater and transformed it into a full length feature film. That in itself is reason enough to see this movie. But then when you're sitting there laughing and cringing at the same time, you know you're watching a cult classic in the making! I strongly recommend you see this movie!
