Unbelievable the amount of ignorance and pure hate in the reviews. People, this movie is about fu**ing dancing, not Oscar stories. A bunch of kids dancing and they serve like pros. Not to mention the music which is awesome. I have tried to see many dance movies after this one but non of them catch up.

No idea why this movie is rated so low...the dance battles are great and its a classic street dance movie that paved the way for much bigger movies like Step Up. If you are in your mid 20's and have no rhythm and listen to country music, this movie isn't for you. Just search up You Got Served dance battles on YouTube and you will see its mostly positive reviews by young adults/teens who know this movie is fun.

You Got Served is the epitome of watching someone scrape there nails on a chalkboard for 90 or minutes or so, that's how bad this felt. I expected the horrible acting, the typical "in the hood" talk, but I at least expected to be somewhat enthralled with some of the dance sequences, I got none of it. The characters are grating as well, I had trouble relating to any of them to be honest, while I had to listen to a pretty annoying soundtrack.Bottom line. I got served alright, served with horrible acting, terrible screenplay, and an awful movie. Avoid, only recommend to die-hard dance fans, and even that's pushing it.1/10

I like watching people dance well and I like some R'n'B and Hip Hop music, but where films involving elements of dancing are concerned, acting and a good script are also the key to a good dance-orientated movie. An example of this would be 'Save The Last Dance' starring Julia Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas. Now that was a relatively good film that combined good choreography with some decent acting, particularly on the part of the two leads. You Got Served, on the other hand, does not have those elements which 'Save The Last Dance' has, as rather whereas the dance moves were flashy and quite impressive to watch, the acting, dialogue and performances are, in contrast, painstakingly dreadful. Clearly, this film is and was produced and aimed at a young, black audience, but even still it doesn't excuse the somewhat 'laughable' acting and bad dialogue that accompanies this mess. This film was cringing to watch and the predictability of the plot and narrative underlines this. Two guys square off against each other, one has a crush on a girl, two guys go into battle, the guy gets the girl, they all live happily ever after, the end. Typical. There was nothing different in this film that we haven't remotely seen before attempted in many other films of this type. Btw, that girl that was in that Damon Wayans sitcom, 'My Wife and Kids' is in this flick, but she is nothing more than eye candy for the guys and with very little in the way of dialogue to work with. It would've been understandable if this was a pure out and out music vid, but as a film, You've Got Served, other than the dance moves, has rarely any redeeming features worth shouting about from the rooftops. I only saw this film on DVD out of interest to see whether it was worth the money (I didn't buy it btw)- and yet it was one of the most awful movies I have watched. I am glad I watched it because if I hadn't watched it and said it was awful, then I would've judged the film based on what others have negatively said alone. Usually with bad films, you'd give up at the half way point, but I watched and stuck with You've Got Served' in its entirety, hoping in the belief that the movie would get better but it didn't. There were moments where i'd end up laughing because even though this is supposed to be a drama and a serious film with some light moments thrown in, I couldn't help but chuckle at times at how bad this was. The dance moves save this movie from me giving this a lowly one star, but nevertheless with the film and the performances itself, they couldn't dance its way to a 8 or 9 star rating, never mind out of a brown paper bag. For die-hard fans of B2K and hip hop dance-based movies only.
