Scott Brown Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

The story is so bored with itself, it collapses -- but the diverse troupe of dance talents at least makes it an eclectic slide.

Christopher B. Stokes's film showcases the latest developments in hip-hop street dance, which, much like hip-hop music, appears to be a largely masculine domain.

It's too bad more energy wasn't devoted to fleshing out the one-dimensional characters and crafting a decent script.

Ann Hornaday Washington Post (Top Critic)

A thinly written, hoarily cliched story that serves mostly as connective tissue between the movie's chief draw, its dazzling dance sequences.

Shoddily written and directed.

On the checklist of things a movie should offer, like character development, dialogue with subtext and plausibility, You Got Served is more like You Got Screwed.

The movie dances when it should be developing, say, characters or story line.

Robert K. Elder Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)

Commits a variety of cinematic sins, none fatal individually but collectively enough to pull an audience under.

David Hiltbrand Philadelphia Inquirer (Top Critic)

Rarely do you encounter a movie without a shred of originality. You Got Served is such a cinematic vacuum.

Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune (Top Critic)

The performers are elegant, expressive and viscerally exciting when they move.

Tom Long Detroit News (Top Critic)

A somewhat incongruous mix of high drama and street dancing in which the street dancing is fabulous, and the high drama is low grade at best.

Every bit as cliched, amateurish and feeble as its predecessors.

A textbook case of how not to make a film about dancing.

Choreographers Dave Scott and Shane Sparks deserve all the credit they can get.

Jason Anderson Globe and Mail (Top Critic)

Between the opening salvo and the equally staggering finale is a dull, dour drama that drains the movie of nearly all its exuberance.

Sheri Linden Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

Stokes has attached an anemic plot to a series of dynamic hip-hop dance sequences.

Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times (Top Critic)

Choreographers Dave Scott and Shane Sparks have deftly given the dancing sequences flow and form while preserving the all-important street spirit of the moves.
