Dance Flick Review

Messages: Nothing is off limits for the movie's spoofy humor, and there are tons of stereotypes -- about everything from the kind of suits that black men wear ("Kool-Aid red" and "Djimon Hounsou black"), to how gay teens (and P.E. teachers) act, to the concept of baby daddies and baby mommas. Lots of potty/gross-out humor.

Role models: This is a silly, spoofy comedy, and there aren't very many role models.On the one hand, the protagonist couple is interracial, which promotes diversity -- but on the other hand, they try to hidetheir relationship around others.

Violence: Fake violence is played for laughs, like when the protagonist's mother is killed in a prolonged, jokey car-accident sequence or when someone is squashed by an obese man during a dance-off. A popular nightspot is called "Club Violence," and patrons frequently wave their guns. A character is killed doing a ridiculous acrobatic dance move.

Sex: Lots of jokes about penis size, interracial dating, condoms, sexually transmitted diseases, teen pregnancy, "baby daddies," and "vaginocology." A teacher named "Ms. Cameltoe" sports an obvious camel toe. In terms of actual sex scenes, there aren't any, but one couple kisses on a few occasions and admits to having (off-camera) sex.

Language: Includes "s--t," "dick," and "ass," as well as milder statements like "what the hell," "oh my God," and "goddamn."

Consumerism: Non-stop references to other movies.

Drinking, drugs and smoking: Characters drink (at nightclubs), and in one scene a father orders a drink for his baby and then gives it to him with a straw (off camera).
