It has its funny moments

smashayre

I think I laughed at this movie about 7 or so times. There were lots of spoofs but not as many genuinely laugh inducing moments that I'd hoped for in a movie of this genre.

Still I can not deny that I did genuinely laugh. I saw this by myself in a theater of several other black people and two white girls... none of them left before the credits rolled nor did I.

The funniest moments for me were 2 of the jokes done by Shawn Wayans. I'm not a fan of his but they were genuinely laugh inducing ones to me at least.

There were some scenes that they tried to play for laughs like spoilers

the scene where the ballerina leaps into this guys arms? insert fart noise... but it came across about as funny as a user dubbed video on youtube...

Incidentally here's a heads up on finding that clip of Step Up where someone dubbed fart noises over it. It plays the same here no acknowledgment whatsoever of the noise by either party post fart.

Since I laughed 7 times? I'll give it 7 out of 10.

score 7/10
