1 It's A Revolution
You Got Served was a movie made to target the urban kids of America. There was no real plot, but there was a great set of dance moves that most people only wish they could do. The director (Chris Stokes) did not intend to make this an in-depth detailed movie; he just wanted people to start to recognize the new hip-hop movement. The "Dance Off" at the end was not just something they made up; there are real competitions like that today. They were not able to take any actor to do this movie, so they had to get a talented dancer, with some acting abilities. B2K was a good choice, because they fit the part of the black kids from LA, and they also had the talent to pull of their characters. I agree this would have been a better movie if it was just all dance, and not attempting any plot, but there were still people who enjoyed it and are recognizing the new wave of dancing.
2 This Movie Gave Me A Hemorrhoid
I watched this movie after losing a bet on who would win the Superbowl. After having watched this horrendous piece of garbage, I was so utterly stressed out that my normal body functions began to shut down. My heart went into severely abnormal palpitations, I began to sweat profusely; I grew dizzy from hyperventilating. My GI tract stopped its motility, and I could not defecate for nearly two weeks. However, after watching "Honey," I found that I was able to have a bowel movement of immense proportion. The only problem was that I poo'd out a 5 foot tall replica of Omarion Grandberry which could not be flushed down the toilet. Now because I had to call a plumber, I am out $50, and I have a hemorrhoid the size of a walnut. Kids be warned, if you value your life, your sanity, and your future, don't let your friends talk you into making bets on the Superbowl that involve watching this movie.
3 It was OK.
The story line was Ok. The dancing was GREAT! That's all I can say. The acting didn't seem believable and, the only actor I thought who was good was Jarell aka J Boog. I do recommend this movie to all those dance lovers, but that's basically it. The movie was just bad acting, good dance moves, and loud music.
*NOTE* Don't be mad if I'm thrashing this movie, because I am big B2K fan. When I talked about it with my friends, they also said the acting could of been better.
4 Excellent Movie
Just so ya know, this isn't Joseph. I'm on this website more than my dad is!!!!! I loved this movie. (I'm watching it as i write this!!!!) Highlights: First battle of the movie (Marty and Jarell (J-Boog)worked it. For those of you who don't know who Marty is, he's wearing a red, blue, and yellow, cap at the beginning of the movie and is on David and Elgin's crew.) The last battle of the movie is a highlght too (once again Marty works the battle with his flip. He's really the only one i pay attention to (who wouldn't! he's sooo cute!!!)
For all of you "haters" who have nothing better to do than trash movies, go find another one to trash because you've got the wrong movie.
If you haven't seen the movie, buy it. Trust me, you won't be able to sit down: you'll be up dancing the whole time. (like me!!!!)
P.S. J-Boog and Marty are mine! (To all you fans!!!!)
5 it is wicked
the film was wicked i am 12 the acting was ok the dancing was wicked the end was brilliant the story line was ok me and my friend watched it together and we watched it 6 TIMES OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!
6 Better with each viewing.
My first time watching this film, I thought it was hilarious. The acting sucked and the story line was unbelievable. But something beautiful happened. I fell in love with Marques Houston and with the dancing, both of which are truly amazing! I watch the movie daily just to get my fix. I'm not a teenager, but I can appreciate the talent displayed by the dancers, and the eye-candy that Houston provides doesn't hurt either. Cop the movie and make you own decision. Just do you! I did, and I'm glad!
7 Is This For Real?!?
This movie is hilarious!! The problem is ... I don't think it was supposed to be a comedy. The acting, if you can call it that, is laughable at best. The paper-thin story lines are contrived messes that were simply "borrowed" from better produced, more cinematic urban films. The only shining spot in this abysmal mess is the stellar dancing!! Most people think Wade Robson was the main choreographer for the film. Turns out he only played a minor role with the dance sequences. Most of the kudos goes to Dave Scott and Shane Sparks, but they're not famous like Wade is, so they're not getting their due respect. I suspect they will in the near future.
Bottom line: the dancing is the only reason to see this film.
8 The dancing is good..
I thought this movie would be good becasue of all the preivews i saw about it, but boy was wrong. But the don't get me wrong the whole movie is not bad becasue i did rate it 3 stars. The only think i like about the movie is all the dancing and the music other than that there's nothing to love. Me and my friends and sisters just watch the dancing parts when were feeling bored or else they will want to watch something else. The acting stinks, the transitions from scence to scence are horrible, the storyline is not all that great. I would reccomend this if your love B2K and/or dancing.
9 It was not thatttttttt badddddddd
I agree the acting was horrible but I still thought it was an OK movie. My 15 year old step-daughter and 13 year old step-son love the movie. Marques Houston has never been a good actor and I don't know how he kept his role on Sister, Sister for so long and should just stick to singing with Immature. The dancing at the end was incredible and very entertaining. Most of the scenes in the movie made no sense and came out of nowhere. I thought LaLa did a good job but LiL Kim should get a new stylist. All in all this movie is pretty bad and you can probably watch it only one time but with a movie like this you should never watch it with high expectations because you will only be let down.
10 Laughing my %^&*$ off
Seriously, you've got to be kidding me!!! I have never seen a movie so bad! Breakin and Beat Street were Academy award nominees when compared to this garbage!!! I can't even believe Steve Harvey would actually agree to do this movie (he must've either needed the money, or he and Cedric The entertainer made a bet to see who could bomb in a movie first. Editors note - Steve, you won by a landslide). So, since I'm a HaTeR< I'm gonna stick it to those dorks who actually wrote good reviews for this stupid movie. If you don't like that "Us HaTeRZ" dissed your movie, then too bad, cause you got served. Take a look at all the one and two star ratings and then give me $5000.00 and I'll personally kick you dead in ya butt for being stupid!
personal observations
1. Does the mom even live in the house with Elgin and Liyah? The g-ma had a bigger role in the movie
2. When was the last time your g-ma actually "checked her stash" and gave you $1500.00 to put on the line in a dance battle because some white guys called you out?
3. Speaking of that, when was the last time you put up 5g's in a dance battle?
4. What was Elgin and David delivering for Emerald in those BRIGHT MULTI-COLORED gymbags anyway? Drugs or Mittens and Scarves?
5. I really liked the part where Elgin threw the gymbag straight up into the air when he got jumped by those dudes in the hallway. I also like how they were kicking and punching at air and everything they threw seemed to miss him. But perhaps I was wrong, the fake blood did the trick...
6. Lil Saint was the sad point of the movie. This little 7 yr old kid got shot and died because he hung around a group of ruffnecks who were so bad the cameramen were afraid to film them! Good thing David was there to let him be in his dance group and stay out of trouble
7. Come to think of it, I never even seen Lil Saint do one stinkin dance step. That kid was a hustler - He deserved to die in that movie!
8. And what was up with Beautifull? She was so fine she had to let it be known everywhere she went! Whatever; I'd call her Nancy just to screw with her head. She went from Eve's Bayou to this?
9. How exactly did big, bad Steve Harvey take care of the big time debt that Elgin owed to Emerald anyway?
10. Lil Kim + Acting = Nuff said....
I got a couple more, but I'll stop on that note. I heard Lil Kim may be going to the pen for perjury. What they should do is put her in home confinement and make her watch this poor excuse of a movie at least 15X a day for five years! I can't think of a worser punishment!
BTW - The dancing was off the hook....
11 Put John Travolta in You Got Served Again
I used to always make fun of this movie with my friends but I had never seen it. Then one day I noticed that it was on HBO so I decided to see if it was as bad as i said it was. I almost threw-up, I missed some of the beginning of it but the part that I started at said it all. It was just a dance scene for 20 minutes with people yelling," Oh Snapp!" and "You Just Got Served." If you like this movie you are possibly the dumbest person on the planet. Oh and about the title, I just saw Civil Action and thought that John Travolta would be a hilarious addition to this movie, if i was the writer all I would put down on the script would be Travolta, whenever I think of him I see gold.
12 A GReat american movie classic
I already knew this movie would stink before I even saw it. I mean seriously the title of the movie is "You GOt Served." As far as I go the makers of the movie might as well named it "Don't Watch THis Movie". Of course i was dragged to see it by a lady friend who despite her taste of enjoying horrible movies still didn't like it. It has boring characters, the plot is lame, I don't know waht else to say.
13 Good Dancing, Truly Awfully Stereotyped Characters
'You Got Served' has only one good point about it, and that is the dancing sequences in the street style. The gravity-defying dances, always exciting and amusing to see, are simply great. And the rest of the film? Nothing worth your time. Be ready to push the fast-forward button, for you need to do that so often.
Again I say, the dances are wonderful. The film is basically about the two boys Elgin and David, the unbeatable dancers. With them as the main force, their team are actually invincible at the dance battles until one day some other team (two white kids as leaders) 'stole' their dances. Does not this sound like 'Bring It On'?
The generic story is so awfully done that you start to wish that someone cut the film by 60 minutes, and make it a music video. Think about this. Elgin and David, when they are not at the dancingfloor, they are A) playing basketball in the neighborhood; B) carrying some stuff for underground employer: C) dating a girl (whose brother happens to be your best pal); and D) got involved in some trouble because of B or C. Oh, and don't forget that one of their friends got shot by a gun.
If someone should write this kind of script, he would be blamed for relying too much cliche. If that film features Afro-Americans (as this film does), he would be accused of stereotyping them. I don't know anything about the writer/director, but I only hope that he realizes it by now.
The dancing, and probably its soundtrack (which I found good), are the only reason that you should see it. Otherwise, as to acting, editing, and most of all storytelling, 'You Got Served' is one of the strongest contenders for the worst film of the year.
14 ....only 3 stars for the dancing
the acting sucked major thumbs. I'm taking one star away for that. I'm taking another star away because of the same old story line which was predictable. But i'm leaving 3 stars for the choreography which was really awesome. If the story line wasn't so obvious and the acting were left to the professionals maybe then it would've been better, the choreography and dancing are really great though.
15 Serve Your DVD Player Up Something Fierce With This DVD
Truly an oscar worthy performance from Omarion and J-Boog. The dancing is great but the acting is even better. Buy this movie before you get served.
16 Not a film, but a dance video
The plot? About as detailed as the worst kung-fu I've ever seen.
The characters? About as thick as paper.
The acting? Up there with your basic porn movie.
The dancing? Reason enough to see the film.
I can barely remember the plot of Electric Boogolo 2 but I remember some of the dancing. I'm still not sure if there was a plot in Once Upon a Time in China, but the fight sequences stick in my mind to this day. Some of the dancing in this film is great. Maybe it gets on your nerves after awhile, but I think that's only if you are waiting around for the story.
If you go into this expecting a "film" you'll be disappointed. If you see it as a break dancing showcase, you'll probably be happy. Whether you buy it up to you, I watched on cable, and don't consider it a waste of 90 minutes.
17 What The Hell?

20 Not That Good
Sure the dance in the movie are exciting but thats the only part of the movie that will make u get into it.
21 I love dis movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this movie sooooooooo much!! Ive watched it at least 60 times...SERIOUSLY, i never get bored of it cuz Im such a b2k/imx fan and the dancing iz off da Hook!!!!! This movie is really for fans of b2k or people that like to see dancing, if u don't like dancing this movie ain't for you. I luv jarell houston aka jboog and he did tha best acting in the movie. Everyone really needs to stop hating cuz it was there 1st movie and tha movie was good. Im tellin u, go and get this movie, u won't be sorry.
22 B2K and IMx fans ONLY
The general consensus among all these customer reviews about YOU GOT SERVED the movie is that the storyline was "really lame" and "really pointless." I also happen to agree with that majority.
As far as the storyline goes, it is typical of ego-induced projects. (Sorry Mr. Stokes!) However, the only thing that saved this movie was the well-choreographed, gravity-defying dance moves that I have ever seen. (I watched it, but I still don't believe it!) So, for all the B2K fans and IMx fans out there, this is a good movie to watch if you want to take up a new hobby, but don't bother watching the whole movie, skip to all the dancing scenes and enjoy them because there is nothing else to enjoy about the movie. A boring, repetitive, predictable movie with an unoriginal plot, which has all been done numerous times before.
As for cameo appearances by Wade Robson and Lil Kim - please, for the love of...! Stick to your day jobs!
Cheers to Jeff Shannon! (Amazon.com Editorial Review) Chris Stokes was better off making a documentary about the hip-hop industry; he would have made better use of 90 minutes than the 90 minutes of running around and around and around...
23 Worst Move...EVER
I was forced to see this movie and I regret ever going. It was even bad in a funny way. It just SUCKED. I'm horrified that filmmakers make crap like this. I'm also horrified that there are people that went to see this atrocity of their own free will.
24 GOOD CHOREOGRAPHY! TERRIBLE MOVIE
The dance moves in this movie is da bomb but the story-line and the acting is terrible.
25 Worst Movie Ever???...Hell Yeah
Imagine a high octane movie about dancing moves that could completely blow yourmind (yes a guy actually does slide about 5 feet ON HIS HEAD) then add a shallow love story... what a brilliant premise right? heres the twist: takefrom this any possible positive aspects and youhave YOU GOT SERVED, you have no concept of how bad thisfilm is, i decided that they werent selling weed, or heroine or anything, THEY WERE SELLING TROPICANA, oh and i cried a few times as well, but you can guess that they were for reasons other than shedding tears for the tangled love between "D" and "Beautifull" (i know i got the plot wrong, but i just watched the movie and her name soounds better, and i still dont remember her name anwyas)
26 WORST.MOVIE.EVER.
I am so sad. I will never get this hour and a half of my life back. This movie is not even funny bad, it's just BAD! I couldn't even finish it and I usually love cheesy dance movies. The South Park spoof of this movie was 1000 times better, but those guys actually happen to have brains. The B2Gay guys are awful actors and should never be on screen again. Do us a favor and disappear forever. Please don't waste your time watching this movie because I really regret wasting mine. The only reason why this movie makes me happy is because it inspired one of the greatest South Park episodes I've ever seen. Nobody does it better than tap dancing Butters.
27 Mr.Personality
This movie is the best movie ever it is about breakdancers winning dance offs. It ROCKS (...)
28 STUPID AS STUPID GETS
I hated this movie because none of them can't act for nothing and the story is long-winded and stupid. Only reason anyone liked the movie is because of the dances. Every line they would say had "suckas" in it. "See ya suckas tomorrow." Don't buy this movie, please.
29 Watch it, if only to be blown away
The introduction to this movie is jaw dropping, the high energy dance routine that opens is top class, not to mention amazing.
The storyline isn't the best, but you get the feeling that the movie ain't really about a storyline its more about showcasing the talented dancers, however Steve Harvey stars as Mr Rad who brings a sense of humor and wittiness (as always) to the film and what little acting there is from other characters it's ok and necessary to be included in order for the movie to be complete.
There are also some cameo appearances from Wade Robson & Lil' Kim.
If you're a fan of hip hop music, B2K and break-dancing's your thing then you should definitely see this movie, if only for the dance routines.
30 Awful...just awful
"You Got Served" is quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. To give this piece of cinematic s**t even one star is being generous beyond words. It's so bad, it's not even laughable (at least Showgirls was funny).
If you're wondering why or how anyone could rate this at anything greater than two stars, just take a look at the grammar in most of those reviews and you'll have the answer.
The only benefit of watching this sewage is the appreciation you'll gain of South Park's brilliantly excoriating spoof of it--it's one of their best episodes.
31 drab dance film
"You Got Served" harkens back to those films from the `80s like "Breakin'" and "Beat Street," low budget jobs aimed at devotees of competitive street dancing, a niche market if ever there was one. "You Got Served" demonstrates that while the dance moves may have advanced in style and sophistication in the past twenty years, the plotting certainly hasn't kept up with the pace. In this film, a popular LA dance crew from the `hood is challenged to a $5,000 showdown by a rival crew from, of all places, Orange County. Add to this a dash of gang violence, a dollop of puppy-love romance and an MTV-sponsored competition finale and you have the makings of a pretty standard youth-must-be-served flick.
A movie like "You Got Served" clearly exists for its dance sequences and little else. The choreography is fine, I guess, but without an interesting story to effectively tie the routines together, even the dancing becomes tedious after awhile. If you can look beyond the dull story and amateurish acting, you may enjoy "You Got Served." Otherwise, it's a loser's bet all the way.
32 Good dance moves but nothing else.....
You Got Served came out at the time when R&B group B2K were blowing up the charts and on the heels of their breakup. More or less, I think the breakup itself was a plot to get publicity for this movie. Anyway.....
This movie (if you want to call it that) seems to have no real direction or plot. I think someone actually thought that this movie would be good simply because B2K, IMx, Lil' Kim, LaLa, Wade Robson, and Steve Harvey, etc., were in it or making cameos. Granted, the movie opened number one when it was released, yet it dismally and thankfully fell flat after a couple of weeks.
The dancing in this video is off the chain! If you're like me and grew up in the hood, then this movie will appeal to you and actually have you watching the moves and rewinding them to see them again. Hood peeps know how to settle differences on the dance floor. That's how we do. lol.
The saddest part of the movie, although extremely predictable, actually had me shed a tear. I won't give details for the people who haven't seen this one, but if you do check it out, you know exactly what is going to happen before it is announced; yet it is still touching to the heart and might have some of the more sensitive viewers crying.
Now, I have to say again that someone actually thought this movie would succeed solely on the cameos and the dancing. Well, nothing could be further from the truth. The acting in this film is terribly sub-par. Whoever thought that B2K could actually act needs to go back to the drawing board. The only real B2K member that I thought actually could have some sense of acting was J-Boog, and even he seemed bland and dry. Jennifer Freeman, who I absolutely love on "My Wife and Kids" doesn't deliver at all. Also, Meagan Goode, who isn't the prettiest thing in the world, is playing the same role she is known for in all of her music videos and movies....the "pretty best friend wannabe ghetto" girl. Let's get this girl some acting classes and then we can try again. Another thing: If this dance-off at the end was such a colossal event, where was BET, VH1, or any other music outlet? MTV seemed to be the only one there and even their "coverage" of the event was quite flaccid.
B2K, we all know that you can dance, IMx, we all know you should retire, and Chris Stokes, no, just no. This movie is strictly for the die-hard B2K fans and no one else!!!
33 There had better not be a sequel.
Because one star is the minimum, I'll give it that. But I find it quite hard to believe that this movie is rated so high. There is absolutely no plot, there is no proper acting, the whole movie basically, for lack of a better adjective, 'sucks'.
The dancing is good. I guess. But how much breakdancing can you take before it starts to get on your nerves? I was so bored during the movie that I even started to play on my cell phone in the theatre.
The story line is predictable and boring, the acting is flat, and even the dancing was drawn out and repetitive.
Don't watch this movie unless you have nothing better to do.
34 Three and a half? *gags*
I think it's really sad that this movie has a rating of three and a half stars, but considering some of the reviews' language I guess that would be predictable. Anyway, this movie was almost absolutely horrible, and I'd have given it 1 star if it weren't for the dancing.
The plot: A group of guys in the inner city are trying to make it as big dancers -- or at least lord it over the rest of the 'hood -- but things keep getting in their way. They are betrayed by one of their team's members; they get caught up in a drug trade; and one of the main characters begins dating one of the other main character's sister. Trouble ensues. The plot was rather sketchy and not very good at all -- it rambles all over the place, jumps from story to story, and drags out way too long -- but it could have survived if the acting were any good. OH WELL. Meagan Goode, Steve Harvey, and Elgin's grandmother were the only good actors in this movie, but unfortunately they have very small roles. I don't know WHY they made Omarion "David" -- they could've given it to J-Boog, who even in a small role proves he's the best actor in the group. Omarion was HORRIBLE HORRIBLE BAD and Marques Houston, who used to be a much better actor, is almost as bad. Jennifer Freeman is usually decent but in this movie she was also very bad.
The only thing that saved this movie was the dancing; if I were to watch it again (Mommy please save me), I'd probably scan through the acting scenes and skip straight to the dancing, especially watching Wade and his crew (who in my opinion was better than Elgin's crew, but whatever). It probably would've have been better to just cast this movie as two groups trying to make it in the hip-hop industry, minus the drug trading, the my-best-friend-wants-to-get-with-my-sister subplot, and the "urban" lifestyle thing.
2 stars -- the dancing saved it.
35 Biggest Pile of Crap of the Year
If you gave this movie more than 1 star, you should be dragged into the street and shot. No questions asked, automatic execution. To like this movie you must be one of the most pathetic, brainless, MORONS ever to crawl the face of the Earth. Please do the world a favor and jump of a building.
36 Surprising movie with great dancing.
This movie really surprised me. It was better then expected. I keep seeing comparisons to Breaking and some older hip hop movies. This movie is a lot different, and is in a category by itself. Then dancing in this film is not just break dancing, but all kinds of different dance moves. This is not the late 80?s and early 90's. We are in a different time, and the dancing is different, but I like it!! I can't do it, but I like to watch it!!!! The acting in this film is decent, and the dance moves are awesome!!!! I would watch the dance scenes over and over. The dancing was just phenomenal to me.
The movie is about two friends who are in a dance crew. They compete in dance battles at Mr. Rad's (played by Steve Harvey) for money. David an L are challenged by a rival crew for a $5,000 purse, which they lose when the rival crew has one of their dancers. That dancer showed the rival crew the moves. David (Omari Grandberry B2K), and L (Marques Houston- Sister Sister & IMx) also do runs for a drug dealer for money. When L gets jumped, he is upset with David, and does not want to be friends with him anymore. L's sister (Jennifer Freeman ? My Wife and kids) has feelings for David, but to keep the peace makes the hard choice to keep her distance. When a dance contest for a $50,000 prize, and a chance to dance in Lil Kim's video the friends put aside their differences to compete for the prize, and to honor the death of Lil Saint. I was actually surprised to see Steve Harvey in this movie. He is not a fan of hip hop, but his part was a father type of figure in the movie. He was the man of reason, and the man who held the dance competitions at his establishment to keep the kids out of trouble.
My major complaint was Lil Kim. She can't act, and all that make up made her look terrible. Lil Kim needs some serious acting lessons, and someone find her a better make up artist. Also who dresses her? Just terrible!!!!
Meagan Goode had a very small role as Liyah's friend. Her name was Beautifull (with two L's). I seriously doubt this role will do anything for her career, it was that minor. I've seen her in much better roles.
Anyone who is a now defunct B2k fan will love this movie. Anyone who is a Marques Houston fan will love this movie. If you are looking for a movie with a decent plot, and some great dancing, you will enjoy this movie!! I enjoyed it so much I plan to add it to my growing DVD collection.
37 You Got Served
I bought You Got Served for our son and he absolutly loves it, I dont watch this kind of dvd movie but decided to watch this one and found it myself very good.
My son has watched it over 50 times so far and has recommended it to his friends, who at the moment are envious of him as they dont have it.
I would definitly rate it as a #1 hit with all break dancers and for kids who are wanting to learn more about it
Some very hard lessons were learnt by all who took part in the making of this fine dvd
38 Dis Waz Tite
YO man dis movie waz off da hizzle fo shizzle. Da dancin waz da shiznit. B2K iz da bomb at dancin. I luv dis movie. I rekommend it 2 evryone. Da bes movie eva
39 I Loveeeeeeee IT SOOOo Much!!!
First Of all I saw the movie in theaters about 6 times...I brought the DVD the day it came out because I loved it sooooo much. Omari, Dreux, Demario, And Jarell...Also Marques showed a great full of talent throughout the movie......PLzzzz go out and get it its hottt U wont regret it I promise.,..Also Pick up the soundtrack....Its Fire tooo
40 I like B2k but maybe they shouldn't do movies
At the time of the movie's release I was huge B2k and actually had some kind of false hope that this movie would be at least ok. This movie was very different from what I thought it was going to be, the dancing was of course great but everything else was...well...bad....The acting was horrible (mins into the film me and a friend were dying from laughter at the bad acting), the directing and editing was just so immature, random songs where just throwin in, the plot was nonexistence. The movie was horrible. The only good thing in the movie (besides the dancing of course) was learning that b2k member Jboog, though his very small role, is actually a really good movie and maybe him being casted as David rather than that other b2k member would have been a better choice and fixed at least one problem in the movie (Omari's horrible acting). If you like dancing, this is the movie for you, if you're actually lookin for a movie to watch find something else...killer part...their making a sequel
41 One of the worst movies EVER.
It's difficult to review this movie, because there wasn't much to review. There wasn't a plot, the characters possessed no depth - all that transpired was some disjointed dancing, and a very unannounced (almost a complete surprise) dance-off at the end of the film. The "Special Features" section on the DVD, frankly, was much more entertaining than the movie. To listen to the producers talk as if this were a serious film transcends comedy. And to hear "actors" talk about how easy it was for them to fall into character - that was priceless. There were no characters. There were cardboard cutouts that lip synched some dialogue, and then some line dancers, who looked suspiciously like the cardboard cutouts. Oh, and a bunch of sideline cheerleaders, along with Steve Harvey, Li'l Kim (who should be embarrassed by her choice of clothing - you shouldn't wear shirts like that unless you have something to show off), Jackee, Wade Robson (the guy who did choreography for N'Synch and others), and some other cameo appearances by names I didn't - and don't ever want to - recognize.
Easily one of the worst films EVER.
42 The hottest dance movie ever!
I absolutely loved You Got Served. I'll admit, you aren't into dancing and music, this probably isn't the right movie for you. However, if you love dancing and you are a fan of good music, you will love this movie. You Got Served contains some of the best dancing you will ever witness. It is amazing. I won't go into details about the dancing because you have to see it to believe it.
As far as the acting, I think the members of B2K did a great job, especially since this was their first movie. The most impressive actor of the bunch was definitely Jarell Houston, aka J-Boog of B2K. There is one particular scene in this movie where his acting skill are absolutely phenomenal. He makes the viewers actually feel what he is going through. Marques Houston, who is also an incredible actor (if you haven't got his debut solo album, MH, go get it! It is amazing!), does a fantastic job portraying the character of Elgin.
The plot of YGS is not as bad as the critics say it is. You will enjoy it if your mind is open to it. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes to be kept on the edge of his/her seat and would like to witness some unbelievable dancing. Even if you were not a fan of B2K, or aren't a fan of Marques Houston, there is still a chance that you'll enjoy this movie. If anything, go see this movie for the dancing. Even top-notch critiques can't argue with that...they have all said the dancing was amazing.
43 Stupidest movie of the year
Comic book guy from The Simpsons would perfer to say a short 3 word sentence that will go along with this:Worst.Movie.Ever.
44 It's Tgiht
Man I love that movie man, I love the dancin' the honeyz especially Meagan Good whoo she fine and a hottie and Jennifer Freeman whoo she a hottie too I just love it I'mma on DVD 4 my room.
45 *think first
if you wanted to see this movie, you're better off waiting till it comes out on rental *which it did.
i knew, right from the get go, the storyline was going to be a load of crap. the acting sucked, mainly because of the people they chose to ACT in the movie, but i went to go see if for the moves. the moves were pretty damn good; i see nothing wrong with a person going to see it just for that.
46 .
Its amazing how much trash is allowed onto the big screen these days. This "movie" only acts to perpetuate the false images promised by the trash culture portrayed here. I'll stop here, this thing isn't worth any more of my time.
47 Chana
this DVD was off the hook!
it was vibe!!
i could watch it like everyday!!
48 Be careful after watching this movie
My best friend watched this movie and then tried serve some kids he saw on the street. Unfortunately, he got served back. The other guys dance moves were so sick that my friend went into coma. In other words, be careful when you try to serve someone, cos they may serve you back, and then it'll be on. All the actors are good looking, so this is a great movie. I mean, since when did movies have to have a good plot or even decent acting? Exactly, they don't, as long as the actors are hot. That's what I love about this movie, the actors don't care if they can't act, they just have to look good.
Now, on a serious note, I'm glad this movie was made. South park wouldn't have been able to make fun of it had it not been made. If you haven't seen that south park, its a must. Also, this paves the way for more parody movies that will be able to attack this one viciously. I guess this movie went over my head, I'm not from the streets, so I never knew what went on there, I guess I was just "tripping". Oh wait, you mean thats not what really happens in the streets? They don't really have dance-offs? I wonder if the people who made this movie were trying to do a remake of Zoolander with dancing instead of modeling. I guess they didnt realize that Zoolander isn't supposed to be a serious movie. It says a lot about our future when all the kids say they loved this move because "So-and-so was so hot." So what if there are great dance moves. One person said they should have made this a documentary instead, I agree with this. If it was a documentary I wouldn't have to make fun of it for being such a horrible movie. Do yourself a favor and don't get served by watching this movie. I recommend any movie that requires an inkling of thought, something that completely bypassed this movie. I guess thats why so many people liked it, people just hate to think nowadays. Blah, horrible movie, the white guy that said "You suckas got served" should've been the one that got killed off. No, wait, everyone in this movie should have been killed off in the first 5 minutes and replaced by real actors, and they should have taken this script to a paper shredder. I feel like this movie was one big joke, and everyone that rated it 5 stars is in on it. Horrible, horrible movie. I hope the guy that made this movie gets exiled to France and is never allowed to write another word.

This movie doesn't even need to be seen ever again, it was so horrible. I bet the only reason viewers chosed to watch this movie was because of famous music perfomers' cameos or because of their favorite performer starring in the movie. But please believe me people, don't let the dance moves or the cameos fool you. The acting in this movie in this movie was so horrible I thought Tom Green was a great actor. Between the dance scenes and the end of the movie you can expect to be bored to death. I love B2K, Marques Houston, and Jerome Jones(Romeo from IMx), but they shouldn't act ever again and should stick to their day job...singing and dancing. Because if they continue to act they can continue to expect and except horrible reviews. And Jennifer Freeman(Omari's girlfriend in "You Got Served")she's alright as an actress but pleeeease don't put her in anymore urban films, because she'll make a fool of herself. For example, when she and David(Omari)met secretly at the restaraunt in the movie, I believe in one of her lines she stated,"Your boy is really tripping." Now look at that sentence again and tell me what's wrong with that picture, I can tell you what's wrong with it...she said "tripping" with a g, like she was raised up in surburbs somewhere. I was laughing hysterically after I heard Jennifer Freeman tryin to pronounce urban slang.
So hopefully you won't look at "You Got Served" because if you do "You Got Suckered" into wasting valuable time.
50 Another Hip Hop movie.
This movie is really good it features Marques Houston, Omari from B2K and a lot more. Its about a dance group who are tryin to get famous and rich making a livin in life. But when stuff happens such as betrayel, trust, and stuff like that get in the way this movie get's pretty violent. But other then that there is nothin like classic Breakdancing moves from the street which is a real compitition, this movie gets pretty exciting. With a pretty good storyline and a 5 star worth break dancin show this movie deserves 4 STAR'S.
51 Never Listened To Movie Critics
After watching this trailer, with all the cool athletic dance moves, I really wanted to watch this DVD, regardless of the critics mercilessly bashing the movie. I've never listened to them before and 97% of the time I've enjoyed the movies, despite their dissenting opinions.
With that said, the only thing decent about the flick was the dancing...and that's it. Corny corny corny...Ebonic cliche after ebonic cliche, this movie was so predictable and the plot was very lame. Even Li'l Kim, as fine as she is, wore some badly fitting Summer threads that made her look like a bon bon eating trailer trash chick.
I'm pretty easy when rating movies and I enjoy a majority of the ones that I watch, but this one has to definitely go down as one of the worst ever made.
52 Complete Garbage
This doesn't even deserve one star. The film deserves to be removed from every DVD shelf and erased from our memories.
This film is complete bulls--t. It's almost worse than Battlefield Earth. In fact, this film makes Gigli worth your time. It's that bad.
Do your soul a favor, do your brain a favor; don't watch this movie. It'll make you 100 percent stupider.
53 The best film of the decade (so far)...
An impeccable achivement. The spikey-haired white kid's performance makes Jimmy Stewart's fillibuster speech in "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington" look pedestrian. I remember seeing the TV spot for this film; when the kid said, "You suckaz got served," it was at that moment that I knew cinema cynics could rest their notion that modern mainstream cinema has become a cesspool of moronic garbage. Direction is solid, the script should become it's own poetry book and the soundtrack might as well be God saying, "You are my greatest creation." That's how good "You Got Served" is.
I'd recommend this DVD were it not for the fact that another Special Edition is coming out, so save your money for it. It's going to be a boxed set with commentary by Roger Ebert, the AMC documentary "Getting Served: A Filmmaker's Passion," a clip from Omarion's performance as Jesus in the stage play "Jezuz 'n' Ish," a featurette dedicated to the infamous debate on which film is more substantial entitled "Did 'Honey' Get Served?" (hosted by Lauren Bacall), a two-hour documentary on the choreography and eight lobby cards. A gold-plated CD soundtrack will also be included.
If you haven't seen the film yet, you're missing out on one of life's truly amazing experiences. I can think of only one thing I'd rather do than watch this film, and that is to repeatedly bash myself on the head with a sledgehammer until my life expires.
You suckaz got served.
54 TIGHT!
This movie is of the hook and amazing in so many different ways. The story was alright a crew tryin to make some money and a guy named Elgin tryin to provide support for his family, as simple as it is the moves in this movie either it's the battle's crew against crew or it's the moves on the court with basketball. The only thing I did not get was Emrald, A buisness guy but thats not the confusing part the confusing part is what elgin and b2k's boy david who is played by omari has to do for this guy. The greatest battle was the very last one the Lil, sanits verses wades crew. With its combination of breakdancin,hip hopin, and somewhat of some drama this movie was tight. If you a gangsta kinda guy get this right away.
55 Forget the acting....let's DANCE!!
I was really surprised when I read all the other reviews the movie got!! It wasn't about the acting, as if that wasn't obvious by watching the movie. It was all about the dancing. I loved the styles I saw when everybody hit the floor. The way the camera would bounce and add that extra something to a "stomp". The hype I felt when I watched this movie was enough to make me run out to the store the very next day and look for it. When I watch most movies, I have no desire to own them and watch them all the time. This is a movie I can watch over and over again. If you love to dance, and you know that you can dance, this is a MUST see movie. Only people who have no rhythm and no moves would say this is a bad movie. I couldn't hardly stay in my seat. I wanted to jump off the sofa and bounce over to the front of the television and join in with them. What was demonstrated in this movie was pure talent. I would compare the movie to "HONEY", only this one is better. The moves, steps and styles were off the hook. I've never saw another dance movie that can compare to this one!!! Excellent movie!!
56 Are You Kidding? This gets Zero Stars!
What I would like to know, is who exactly is funding these types of dumbass movies? And in what universe did someone decide this crap was worth the paper/disk the screenplay was written on and the film it was filmed on? And what's even more disturbing is that this movie was #1 the first week it came out! Which makes me only wonder what kind of people would pay money to see this? This movie was ghetto crap...yes I said it! It had to be said.
57 The Down and Dirty on "U Got Served"
I got this movie because I'm just soo in love with B2k. They dance really good. I mean, they're doing backflips and everything and I'm telling you your jaw will drop at all the moves they did. It was surreal! However, I believe that the dancing made up for their acting. I guess it's good considering this is their first "major" movie. But it needs work. One part of the movie that made it cheezy (that means phoney) was the fact that they were carriers for this boy named Emerald who's supposedly a drug dealer. I don't get it why don't they just go and get real jobs! I don't really go for ghetto movies, unless it's a comedy. I guess that's what made it look cheezy.
There WERE other parts of the movie that made it better though, and even surprise me a little. Like the fact that they all looked like normal people in this movie. I know it sounds cheezy, but when you're a fanatic like me, you just expect that they would be an exception. They weren't. If they had never come out as B2k and passed me in the street, I would've just looked and kept going. That's how "normal" they looked. That's one thing I liked, though. They didn't try to make superstars act like normal people while they still looked like they came outta Hollywood. That got them a few points with me.
Another thing that surprised me was that I knew Omarion would be kissing that girl Jessica Freeman, but I didn't know he would be doing it twice! They looked like they might put some tongue in it--but didn't. Dang!
Another thing I didn't realize is that they showed J-Boog in a brother-like, almost fatherly, light--especially to the little boy called Lil' Saint. I figured as fine as he is they would show him as a player. It made him look sexier!
Well, that's all I got to say-- Glad I got THAT all out!!
58 You Got Served
Hy im looking for a song is played in the second dansing battle of the movie You Got Served,the song is the credits of the movie but a dontnow what song is is somebody now this song please send me and @mail to amdsony@hotmail.com thanks.

60 A Music Video - Nothing More.
Believe the hype - this film really is as bad as they say it is. The acting is terrible, the dialogue is ridiculous:
'What are you thinking about?'
'About a lot'.
As for the sub-plots, they are terrible, including the too nicely done romance between Omarion and Jennifer Freeman or worse still, Marques Houston gets jumped while running errands for the local, too cliche gangsta, causing unrest between him and his 'boy' Omarion, why doesn't he just get a real job at a fast food place or something? Also, are we supposed to feel sad when the little ten-year-old boy dies? He's in the film for two scenes and Chris Stokes thinks us as an audience is going to care enough about him? Sorry Chris, we're not that stupid.
Unless you're into hip-hop dancing or a fan of B2K, then I strongly recommend to STAY AWAY from this film. Ladies and gentlemen - this is filmmaking at its very worst.
61 Was this supposed to be a drama?
I think this movie was actually supposed to be a comedy. I laughed from the first time the spikey-haired white guy said "tonight...you suckas got served!" until the the very end.
62 GOOD 1ST MOVIE FOR THE GUYS
first off,(lmao) you people ASSUME that omarion and marques was selling drugs...that never came out in the movie.get it together. second, if you didnt like the movie YOU wouldnt have searched this site to write a review.LAUGH at yourselves.3rd i enjoyed the movie myself. they did quite well for their first movie.and i just realized how cute omari really is. marques did VERY well as an actor(came along way from sister sister) these guys SHOULD continue in the movie business..and why do people think the movie was supposed to have a meaning..ummm it was a movie about dance battling so of course they would concentrate on that point (duh). the only reason i gave the movie 4 stars is i took off 1 for (lil kim) what a mess. good job!!!! B2K and IMX (i saw you Romeo)...
63 This Movie Was Craptastic! (That's a bad thing)
Whoa! No wonder the first ten minutes of the movie was the undergound dance battle - the dancing was the only good thing about this pathetically written and horrifically acted movie! Even the somewhat seasoned actors were crappy! The whole story line was a joke! The two main characters were drug dealers for crying out loud! And then lame 'ole Steve Harvey "I knew a few people on the police department and I pulled some strings..." Get real! And Omarion, Lil' Fizz whatever he calls himself, smiled so much throughout the whole movie that MY cheeks began to hurt! Fortunately I rented this joke so I'm only out $4. I want to support black artist (directors, actors, producers, writters) I would just like to see us produce something of quality worthy of support. Seriously.
64 sick dancing
You Got Served has the sweetest dances moves i've ever seen on t.v. or in a movie. The story line and acting wasn't the greastest in the world, but it doesn't matter cuz the music is sweet and the dancin is hot. You gotta see this movie if you love hip-hop and breakin.
65 Great Dance Movie
This movie was tight. I really enjoyed all the dance scenes that they entwined into this movie. The storyline was "okay" and Omarion does need to sharpen his acting skills a little more BUT they still made it happen and it turned out to be an exciting movie. If you love dancing and doing the damn thang-this is the movie for you!
66 Oh! This is what South Park was talking about...
It helps explain a lot. Good movie, though.
67 THE NEW BREAKIN'
this is a great movie, turbo and ozone, the originators of break dance films would be proud, and everyone that has a problem? dont dance back cause you will get served! no more then that you will get CATERED!
68 wheres the 0 stars option?
I haven't seen this movie but you can tell it sucks from the commercials. I mean c'mon, settling your differences w/ a dance off? Whatever happened to the days when kids met behind the school and beat each other with their fists to solve a problem? Todays youth dissapoint me. Actually the only time a dance off would be cool, is when we can get George Bush to battle Saddam. I wanna see G Dub do headspins.
69 westside story for the TRL crowd
did anyone do a cliche count here?as the hipsters would spew''its off the charts kid/son/nefew''.what a blatant case of audience pandering.ill give it to the producers though,they know their target audience is easily duped into thinking(what an oxymoron)lame raps and dull r&b put to on a very big tv screen makes for a great movie.fights where no one gets hurt or actually fights makes for a dull fight(if im not mistaken''HONEY''was more violent).be that as it may,the weapon of choice here are flashy dance moves.sliding on ones head,turning into rubber boy,doing the robot,etc,etc is such a sweet way to settle grugdes.if this movie is so popular,given the softness of its fighting,then how can rap be so popular?the public demands its rappers be as tough as their bogus image says they are yet seeing''tough guys/THUGS''settle a fistic score to the chart topper of the day is contradictory.that observation might have gone over the audiences head unknowingly.i remember back in the day when i was the age of TRLers,movies didnt have to dumb themselves down to the level of a sponge.i almost feel sorry for todays youth.on that note,here are some sure shot hits the lemmings that found YGS''the,i mean,duh,oooppps,da shiznit'' will no doubt love-Soul Plane,White Girl,13 going on 30,Breakin' All The Rules(i love how they spell 'breaking' wrong but 'the' right!)just to name a few other ocsar winners.how do producers feel when said movies are gone after 2 weekends?note to amazon,WE NEED ZERO/MINUS STAR OPTIONS,QUICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
70 Overall Great Movie
Despite the acting this movie was pretty good.Although It was Omarion Grandberry,Marcus Houston and their crews first time acting it was a forgittable performance.Which was saved by intricate dance moves and people that I expected to see in a movie like this.
Other than that I recommend this movie.
71 If You Like Dancing...
I rented this movie to watch while I was working on something else. I didn't want to give the movie 100% of my time. And I'm glad I didn't. The plot is weak and very, very predictable. However, if you like dancing, then you will get plenty of it in this movie. That would be my ONLY reason for recommending this movie.
72 You Got Served
This movie was very entertaining, and the dancing was off the hook. I recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for a good movie to sit back and enjoy.
73 Excellent!
This movie was actually bought for my 10-year-old who takes breakdancing and hip-hop lessons. But my concern was that this was going to be some kind of gansta movie battling it out. But I was completely wrong.
The dancing was outstanding! There is minor violence and illegal activity involved, but it was such a very minor part of the movie its barely noticeable. The illegal activity was never really specified, and the violence realy wasnt shown or graphic for that matter (though not without a sad scene). So the movie focused on the dancing. And friendship.
So if your looking for a action packed, excellent plot type movie, this ain't it. If you want to see some great dancing, and maybe some new moves, this if for you. I already have the instructional video (You Got Servied - Take it to the Streets) that goes with this movie on order. (comes out in July)
74 Amazon, PLEASE MAKE NEGATIVE RATINGS!!
O my gracious, this was the worst movie that I have seen in I don't know when. Peer pressure is NOT cool because that was the only reason they got my $6. This movie was beyond awful...B2K is the weakest thing to hit the music scene. They are always in our faces and it gets even worse with a movie. The only thing that saves this movie was the dancing. Seriously.
I spent this entire film talking about how crappy it was. The acting was horrible, the plot was ridiculous (can you say Bring It On? And it probably goes further back than that!), and it should have been refused by the studio.
The ONLY funny part in the movie was when the girl from My Wife & Kids tried to show us how "down and hip" she was. Only it backfired when she couldn't say "trippin'" and said "tripping." I bet theaters everywhere laughed at that moment and only that moment. And let's not forget skanky Lil Kim and her botched lipo-job. Ugh.
Anyways, this movie was horrible. Do you self right, and buy or rent something else.
75 Just ok
I just brought some DVDs today here, around 15 or more, the "you got served" is the 1st one i pick it up to watch..
I just wanna say the hip pop dance movie is totally energetic! and the type its different 8 miles, but l LOVE the "competition show" both rapper and hip-pop dancer.
preety good.
u can drop a mail to me if u wanna, jacobtang@hotmail.com
76 Yall Suckas Got Served !!!!!
This movie was indeed very good for one the DANCING!!! man I was blown away I mean the moves were amazing and it so good it makes you watcht the battle over and over again!!Despite the acting which was kinda bad and could of been better but if you look at it its a dance movie not drama.If you watch the movie some of the parts i didnt get like about the whole dancing and i guess delivering drugs??I mean they could of think of something better but dont look at it like that Like i said its all about the dancing its one hell of a dvd!
77 "Honey", "You Got Served"
I owe both movies. Now critics are saying that "Honey" was a bad movie. It's depending how you look at it. Both of these movies were not meant for oscar winning of course. Their both inspirational movies for a younger crowd. The movie "Honey" I liked very much though it wasn't what I was expected I thought it was gonna be like the movie "You Got Served". Than I realized that movie relay a good message to all people. That "Honey" played by J.A. became famous and used her fame to help her community. Now for "You Got Served" was meant for a hip-hop movie but also sent out a good message. It dealt with conflicts, a little bit of the gang life, a death, lies, and most importantly strong friendships.
78 Off the Hook Shiznotch!
Yo, I holla'd at my boi to pop one of these bad bois for me the other day, and snap man, this is some hot s**t! The dancing is like WOAH! and the moves are insane. Yo, you better pick up this DVD right away, 'cause it's got the mad moves that are all up in your face son!
79 Its not really about the movie in itself..
I give this 4 Stars, not because of the story, but more for the visuals. Its one of those movies where you'll just watch your favorite scenes over and over and skip over the hollow acting. You definately aren't going to watch it for the story, you just want to see dancing. If you're into crazy b-boys its basically something to watch in awe but this isn't realistic at all. Its WAY too choreographed for something they label in the movie as "Straight Street". The whole my "crew" VS your "crew" is a bit too pushed, no ones going to go out and settle an arguement on the floor...reminds me of when comedians make fun of the 80s by saying instead of gangs fighting they dance it out. HAHA! But its just a movie right? Certainly not for everyone, but those those hip hop fans, you'll pick it up just to watch and re-watch the creativity that hits the floor. I did enjoy this movie in the theaters. And I probably will watch it one more time through when I get the DVD. But after that I'll just select the scenes I want for the music/dancing. I do have two major complaints though. 1) Jennifer Freeman has to be the worst actress in this movie. Everyone else is at least somewhat believable. She's attractive and all but.."Why are you trippING?" had to be the WORST reading of slang ever! And my second complain : The appearance of WADE ROBSON. My oh my..for a movie that goes so far to say its "street", they brought in the dude who's known for choreographing dances for Britney Spears and Nsync. What a great choice...IN BIZZARO WORLD! So yea, pick this up to point at the screen and say Wow that was pretty cool. Don't watch it and say I can't believe he would push his friend on crutches!

MEN
THE MOVIE WAS CLEAN AND SWEET. WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT IS THEY BECOME BACK FRIENDS AND THEY WORK TOGETHER as a TEAM.
81 Jennifer
I thought that the movie was great! B2K and MArques HOuston are sooooo hot! I think it's funny though how all the ads for this movie in magazines and stuff say starring Omarion Grandberry and Marques Houston with Steve Harvey and barely even mention B2K. Anyway though, this was a great movie and I loved everything about it! The guys are so hot and the dancing is great!
82 1 of My FAVORTIE Movies!!!!!
This is an off the hook hip hop dance movie staring B2k!!! Great movie. It was a very interesting movie with lots of action!!! I would give this movie 6 stars but the rating only goes to 5.
83 Dear god, what the hell is wrong with hollywood?
Quite simply put, this has to be one of the worst films ever made. I borrowed a copy of this from work because I saw it listed on IMDB's bottom 100 films. It out ranked such schlocky classics as Manos Hand of Fate, Glitter, and Plan 9 from Outer Space. I knew I had to see this movie.
Unlike those other films, this isn't even remotely funny with how bad it was. Every single urban genre cliche is pulled out of the bag and defficated all over in this flick (as if it hasn't already been done enough.) I guess the dancing is good, if you consider acrobatics combined with full body seizures dancing.
The saddest thing about this is that it topped the box office in it's opening week. That says alot about today's youth.
84 Forget the Haters The Dancing was Hype
Y'all the criticism ain 't nothin' new...Now I'm 30-sumpin' years old and I 'member when Prince came out with Purple Rain...and the actin' was boo-boo..but we didn't go to see no academy-award type acting...we went to see PRINCE and the Revolution and THE TIME do the dang thing...and we got what we went for...and the movie was still a hit! same here...dem dere boiyz ripped the screen with that dancing...and I mean e'erybody ('cept lil saint and the girlfriends)...I agree that the plot coulda been a lil thicker had it not been watered down with the drug-money junk and killin' off the lil' dude (that was just unnecessary drama)...i coulda even tolerated the lovey-dovey (that's just good formula, we females need the love story)...but over-all it's about that dancin'! The dancin' took me back to my teens when breakin' and poppin' was all about it. It thrilled me to take my 11-yr-old son and show him...it reminded me how we used to kick it like that back in the day! I was dancing in my seat! And I will have this one in my DVD rack along with Purple Rain. "Save the last dance" was an actor's movie with a lil' bit of dancin' (and it ain't on my DVD rack) but this here is a Dancer's flick...period...actin' be doggone.
85 PRETTY GOOD
WELL THE ACTING WASNT ALL THAT GREAT..BUT THE DANCING WAS HOTT..MAKE YOU WANNA TAKE DANCE CLASSES. IAM NOT A B2K FAN BUT AFTER WATCHING THIS MOVIE MADE ME SEE HOW TALETED THEY ARE. OVER ALL GOOD MOVIE FUN FUNNY..THE DANCEING MADE UP FOR THE ACTING..
86 You Got Served Review
I think this movie was cool. It was more than I expected although to be honest the movie made me cry, mad, and happy on different parts of the movie. This was an awesome movie that I will never forget and I will show this movie to my children. A movie to not regret also my favorite. My most favorite movie of all time. . . . well at least till now!!

87 This Was A Great Movie
The movie You Got Served was a excellent movie in my opinion. All of the people did wonderfuly. The dancing was great Omarion Grandberry was great. And so was Marques Houston, Jarell Houston, De Mario Thorton, and Drue X. I rate this movie a high 5. Becuase that is what it deserves. Omarion 4 Life.

89 5 Stars for YOU GOT SERVED with MY SHINING STAR J-boog
Aight, all yall who think You got served was Horrible yall need to stop hatin, this ish was the best movie of 2004, the acting was OFF THA HOOK! J-boog was the best. Do yall even know what the hell he had to do just to cry for the lil saint death scene? the most dramatical scene in the movie? No i didnt think so. THE DANCING WAS GREAT! i do admitt, jboog could have been seen more often :-D but then again i am a Huge Jboog fan. NOW ALL OF YALL WHO THINK YOU GOT SERVED WAS THE BEST RAISE YA HAND ::Sees tons of ppl raise they hand:: i thought so. Yall must have not been payin attention to the opening scene when Jarell Damonte Houston But Known as J-Boog of B2K was doin' that @$$ shakey thing he did omg i just dont know how yall dont think that was the best part of the movie. I Give this movie 5 STARS. and if i could give it more, i would shiiii i went to see it 8 times already! but they aint playin it no more so i gotta wait till the 18th to get it on DVD and u best believe that ima be 1st on line to get it!(...)
90 Buying It For My DVD Collection......
Don't Hate! I thought this movie was the BOMB! I went out to watch it twice when in theater. Sure, I agree with the acting argument being less than average, I also would have picked a different person to play the sister, but all in all it was the dancing that made this movie and is why I went out to watch it again...How many people do you know can act AND dance anyway? A job well done to the cast for the dancing, just work on the acting part!
91 To All Of The DAMN HATERS.
As someone who is studing to become an actor/screenwriter, the movie wasn't that bad. I gave it 4 stars because it kept me interested. Unlike most of the stuff that has a-list actors and actresses in it. B2k and MH are no tom cruz or tom hanks but ... stop hating on them. They did well for it to be there first movie. ... And I'm a dancer so i give them all the props in the word for having the guts to come and do a moving that was base on something that they love to do (dancing).
92 Greatest movie to ever hit the Silver Screen
This movie was so amazing me and my friend saw it 5 times...granted its not the best as far as acting is concerned but the dancing is off the hook and the guys in this movie are sooooo hot!!!
You not only get some serious B2K and IMX action in this movie but for anyone from Canada out there, the guy that plays Wade (the leader of the rival crew) looks like the guys from B44.
The only problem I had with this movie is that Lil' Kim has absolutely no acting abilities and she wears this string bikini top even those she has some crazy love handles, and her nameplate neclace is a way too big for someone whose name begins with Lil'.
That girl who plays the daughter from My Wife and Kids is in the movie too and she plays David's (Omarian) girlfriend...its a cute story but takes away from the best part of the movie...The Dancing!
Hopefully the DVD will have some special features teaching you how to dance so I can try these moves out at home and go to my local boxing ring and challenge other crews.
I am so excited for this to come out on DVD, I might have to request some days off from work so I can watch it over and over again...Eeeeeeeee!!!!!
Oh and if anyone has a problem with this movie...You Just Mad 'Cause YOU GOT SERVED!!...Served, Served, Served, Served!!
93 B2KS NUMBER ONE FAN
THIS MOVE WAS EXECRPTIONAL! I LOVE IT I AM BUYING IT WHEN IT COMES OUT ON MAY18 FA SHO FA SHOO ANYONE WHO HATES ON B2K N IMX AND ANYONE ELSE IN THIS MOVIE NEEDS TO GO TO HELL HAHAHA DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEEEEEEEEAR AND THE ACTING WAS EXECPTIONAL TOO!!
94 I Love Marques Houston-aka-(Elgin)InYou Got Served
I give this movies five stars!It is a cool movie.I love the whole thing,especially MH and the moves they did for the movie.The way they made the movie is very very cool.I LOVE it!I HOPE YOU DO TO.
95 This movie is hilarious
If you are cynical like me, I reccomend you go watch You Got Served. This is a very unintentionally funny movie. Everything from getting beat up in an apartment building to a little kid dying is made hilarious from terrible acting. This is one movie I'll definitely be buying when it comes to DVD.
96 for B2K OMARION and Marquis Houston fans
Enjoyable if your a B2K, IMX, OMARION,MARQUIS HOUSTON fan.
I guess you can say this is the farewell movie 2 B2k fans in light of there recent break up.
The plot reminded me of Flash dance which was a cool concept and a favorite in my oldschool movie collection, but this falls short big time.
First of all the music and dancing was awesome no doubt!
But god...the ACTING was terrible!!!
The plot had some corny holes in it too, like when the little kid died?? when did that happen,all of a sudden there in the hospital and Professor Ogilvee from the Parkers (playing a doctor)suddenly says "he died"...
Then the drug lord who David owed money to after he was robbed, unrealistic...
Steve Harvey's character pays the debts and everything is "peachy" again.
And sorry to say but being in Lil' Kim's next video is not that serious! her popularity has gone down the tubes, they should have said something "be in 50 cent's new video with G-unit" or something.
It's really hard to pick a winner when EVERYbody is doing like the same one handstand freeze frame move.
I understood that this movie was about achieving your goals and yadda yadda and overcoming your obstacles and it was POSITIVE but it wasn't executed properly.
97 its the bomb
i think that you got served a good movie for all and i think thata anybody would like ( omarion a good role and jennifer too i thought that the senes was great) and marques played a great role too and fizz is fine but omarion is hoter
98 ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER!
Ok, This movie was one of the best movies that I have ever seen. The moves were the most complex and interesting (in a good way) that I have ever seen. When this movie comes out, I will definetly buy it. I have watched it again and again, and I still love it. The actors portraying the people were very nicely chosen, and I believe that everyone needs to see this movie at least once. On my final sentence, I would just like to say that this movie shows a small part of regular life that people don't see, but are "allowed to" by watching this movie.
99 Yes they did get served
I have loved dance as long as I can remember. My ex-husband was a dancer. The dance moves in this movie are simply fabulous. The acting was ok and the plot too, but it was clean language appropriate for kids and I loved it!!!!!
100 Tight As Ever!
This movie was so good to me. And not just b/c I love B2K and IMX but b/c I love dancing. The dancing in this movie was crazy, crazy, crazy. When you're done watching it, You just have rhythms left in your head. And you'll keep backtracking moves from the moves that they did. It's outrageous. Everybody who hasn't seen it....go see it. It'll be worth your time and money!
