Description of You Got Served (Special Edition):
You Got Served has one simple priority, and if you're into the latest hip-hop dance moves, you'll get served an enjoyable 93-minute diversion. For anyone else, however, all bets are off, since this wretchedly plotted film was written by director Christopher B. Stokes as a crassly commercial vehicle for B2K, the teen group that Stokes managed while making cheap-ass movies like this one. There's a tissue-thin romantic subplot, but mostly it's about the MTV-styled showdown between B2K (as Orange County white boys) and their black L.A. competitors, including members of the hip-hop group IMx. Their aggressive moves are undeniably impressive (in other words, don't try this at home unless you know a good chiropractor), but Stokes would've been better off making a straight documentary, thus avoiding all the nonsense that You Got Served delivers between its abundance of choppily edited dance scenes. --Jeff Shannon
You Got Served (Special Edition) Reviews:
You Got Served 
2009-04-24 - I was hoping for a little more substance to this movie. Dancing was good though.
Not as bad as others make it sound. 
2008-05-29 - This is simply, a fun movie. If you are looking for a deep plot or the answers to life you are looking in the wrong place but if you just want something to entertain you I'd say its worth the watch.
You got served junk...suckaz! 
2008-05-22 - I'll keep this review brief. This was easily the worst movie of 2004. The whole thing is about two kids whose dance crew is challenged by some preppy wanna-be-black suburbanites who steal the crew's moves thanks to a treacherous friend named Sonny. Omarion and Marques's character fall out over Omarion dating Marques's sister and things get more problamatic from then on. The acting is atrocious and the dance moves might be cool at first but get pretty mundane after a while. Omarion as well as Marques Houston cant act. Lil Kim looks like recovering heroine junkie and the attractive Jennifer Freeman(My Wife and Kids) is whiter than Jenny McCarthy. You can tell this was a vanity project for the suspiciously effeminate Chris Stokes. And it still bombed! If you're into a movie all about dancing then go right ahead but if you're looking for something more than a dull dance film with heavily edited dance scenes look elsewhere. You just got served suckaz!
We Got Served.... movie for PSP 
2007-12-28 - The quality of the video shown on the PSP of this movie is amazing. It was just as described.
THis movie is awesome!
2007-11-07 - What more can one movie have? The dialog is atrocious, the plot mundane and predictable, and the music blows. Maybe the dancing is good, I wouldn't know--it is certainly hard to keep track of.
So why five stars? Because if you love bad movies like I do, you have GOT to own it!
Lil' Kim is hilarious, albeit totally unintentionally. "We goin' take it to the streets!" Gawd, that is pure gold. Gold!
There's even a subplot about some little kid that ends up getting shot--with no emotional impact whatsoever. I read a post on a forum somewhere that a girl wrote and said her boyfriend teared up during that part in the theater (and she actually thinks this is a good movie) which just adds to the hilarity.
You could also use this for inspiriation if you are a screenwriter, as if THIS got made, your script will surely get picked up SOMEDAY.
