1.0 out of 5 stars
The best film of the decade (so far)..., June 27, 2004
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.

There had better not be a sequel., July 28, 2004
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.

WORST.MOVIE.EVER., October 21, 2004
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.
