“Dance Flick” is a hilarious new comedy that brings together the talents of two generations of the Wayans family, the explosively funny clan who brought us the “Scary Movie” franchise and “White Chicks,” as well as the groundbreaking TV series “In Living Color.”
In “Dance Flick,” a young street dancer, Thomas Uncles (Damon Wayans, Jr.), from the wrong side of the tracks and a beautiful young woman, Megan White (Shoshana Bush), are brought together by their passion for dancing and put to the test in the mother of all dance battles.
“Dance Flick” sends up the dance movie genre, including such recent hits as “Step Up” and “You Got Served,” as well as the classic “Flashdance.” There have been few screen comedy families who have successfully passed the torch from one generation to the next as the Wayans family has.
The Wayans brothers – Keenen Ivory, Shawn, Marlon and Damon – along with sister Kim, first burst onto the screen with 1988’s blaxploitation parody, “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka,” which led to their groundbreaking Fox comedy sketch series, “In Living Color.”
