It's a fairy story from the hood, with the amateur actors kept occupied between dance sequences by the trials of puppy love, and friendship lost and redeemed.
I didn't find the story any more or less wretched than the average action and violence extravaganza, and I'll take electrifying dance routines over choreographed thuggery any day of the week.

But alas, to get to the dance parts in this movie, one must suffer a pain almost unto death.
Although I did have a problem with Meghan Goode's character

Make no mistake, this is a truly terrible film.....Worse still, music stars turned actors Marques Houston (from hip-hop group IMx) and "Omarion" Grandberry (who's accompanied by fellow members of his R&B band B2K) couldn't act their way out of a pair of unlaced Adidas trainers..... ... Full Review

In fact, this whole movie feels like a music video interrupted with snippets from a really awful movie.
So today's moronic little piss-head can take comfort in the fact that, twenty-plus years from now, they're going to look back at You Got Served and chuckle themselves silly.

You Got Served offers considerably less emotional intensity: the rote plot has a dance crew competing for big money, fame, and, of course, their own, briefly disrupted friendship.
Amid this superficial plotty mess, the movie also works as a strangely mesmerizing gloss on the nasty intricacies of the music business.

Religious press critics found some of the film's intentions honorable, but fell short of recommending it.

Just witness the flat-out spectacular stunts in You Got Served .
The non-dancing portions of the movie amount to little more than a grab bag of inner-city cliches, including a truth-telling grandma and a evil drug lord, plus a drive-by shooting thrown in to take the place of authentic drama, which in this movie exists only on the dance floor.
