Movie Reviews of You Got Served (Special Edition)
Movie Review: "This Feud Is Stupid, Selfish, and it Affects a Lot of People"
Summary: 5 Stars
"You Got Served" is a wholly commercial enterprise, a low-budget film about hip hop dancers starring B2K and Marques Houston, and written and directed by their manager. Although its stars have acting resumes, they are by no means good actors. The production values are so shoddy that the climactic scene shows the same crowd of extras over and over again in the same small slice of arena seats, as if the filmmakers were too lazy even to pretend like it was a real event. The plot is unbelievably cliche, the dialogue is banal and the stereotypes are egregious. Despite these flaws, and in fact because of them, I enjoyed every minute of it.
Although the following paragraphs reveal much of this film's plot, the events that unfold are so formulaic and predictable that you could probably take a wild guess right now and get about 80% of it right.
Our two protagonists, David (Omarion) and Elgin (Houston), begin the film as best friends and leaders of a top notch "crew" of dancing homies. David has even found love with Elgin's little sister. But when they're challenged by their future rivals, "Wade's crew" out of Orange County, things take a turn for the worse as they sell drugs to raise the bettin' money. Wade and his fellow honkies look like the rejects from O-Town tryouts, and their lineup includes Kevin Federline. (Seriously.) Then the wily white boys get a Judas from David and Elgin's crew to teach them all the hot ghetto moves, and they humiliate our heroes at the dance-off. That's when Wade - you have to see this guy to understand how ridiculous he is - slams the door on the idyllic first act with the best line in the movie: "You're just mad...'cause tonight you suckas got served!"
After that, everything goes to pieces as Elgin turns on David for chasing tail instead of working on his moves, and tells his sister to "go home and stop acting like a ho!". This tirade by Marques Houston is worth the price of admission alone. The crew splinters into weaker factions, and it ultimately takes the martyrdom of Walt from LOST to bring some healing.
Things only get better as Lil' Kim arrives to take the role of deus ex machina. Her proclamation that the dance battle between Wade's crew and Elgin's new posse should be settled by a "straight street" showdown, compounded by a move by Wade that has to be the most colossal tactical error possible in that situation, allow David and Elgin to reunite for one final duel with their OC enemies. Gee, guess who is going to win? All I will reveal is that in the end, the tiny slice of crowd goes wild and chants "Served! Served! Served!"
