Step Up 2 The Spoof

These days it feels like there's at least 50 terrible spoofs for every movie genre. Look no further than recent efforts: Disaster Movie, Meet The Spartans, Epic Movie, Date Movie and so on. Majority of these are notoriously known as the worst reviewed films of the year thanks to the obvious, crude and unfunny puns that are littered throughout. However, it wasn't all bad. The first hugely popular movie to kick start the modern spoof film was Scary Movie. The sequel, Scary Movie 2, was also hilarious but from there things started to deteriorate within the franchise and spoof films stopped being funny. 

A friend recommended I be brave and check out the trailer for the latest spoof movie, Dance Flick, which pokes fun at the tired genre of dance movies. To my surprise, the trailer is REALLY funny. It's not sharp, political satire but it is what it is. View the trailer here.

I've always found the Wayan brothers funny and I hope this is a return to form for them. Dance Flick is out later in Australia, in the second half of this year.
