how?

It took the stereotype of how black people talk to each other and brought it to a new level... They were all like "Yo dawg wassup homie fa real yo hook me up wit dat shawty I gots to hit it you know... les chill in the cut for lil bit, yo..."

Way toooooo cheesy...

And the whole dance part was way overblown... When he was training for the big dance comp at the end and he was break-dancing in slow motion in the rain like he was training in a boxing movie or somethin... lol

Wow, sorry I insulted your favorite movie, man. Chill out.

well justin, i must tell you. when we all watch movies featuring black people doing such things and talking in such a manner, we are only seeing one segment of african-americans. so you're right it was a type of stereotype, BUT it's only a steeotype because those are the majority of images of african americans that are shown. there wouldn't be such stereotypes if we were showing movies that constantly showed denzel washington, sidney poitier, bill cosby, micheal eric dyson, montel williams, oprah winfrey, spike lee and many others.

that dancin in the rain was real f'n corny!!!!!!

That's exactly what I mean. By portraying that stereotype in such excess, people who aren't as familiar with the black race will look at that and be more prejudice...

right again, and the sad thing is studio keep makin stereotypical comedies because we (black people) and many others support them by going to the movies to see them when they're released. most black movies that makie it to major release are comedies. bad comedies too , not intelligent comedies. we only get 2 - 3 black movies to major theaters a year and more than likely, they're 'shawanika's day at the salon' or some simple shit like that. when of the worst titled movies i ever saw ( i never actually seen it, just commenting on the title) was called ' i accidently domed your son' staring kurupt and some other bums.

but back to 'served' it was targeting a certain demographic 13 - 23 yr olds who are MTV culture to the core, and i think it did the job.

...and those people are morons for basing their views on a shitty movie.

this thread is kinda funny because i just finished watching that movie about 30 minutes ago. while it is probably the worst depiction of hip hop 'dance' culture ive seen in quite a long time, i still enjoyed it. i think the bad acting and absolutely horrible dialogue made it quite a comedy.
