    Storyline

    Edit
    YOU GOT SERVED follows the competitive world of street dancing where crews battle each other for money and respect. Elgin and David are best friends and leaders of the best dance crew in the area. When another town's top group challenges them to a battle, David and Elgin, along with their buddies, must create and perfect the most cutting edge moves in order to remain on top. The stakes are raised as friends double-cross each other and true motives are revealed. When the biggest battle comes to town, David and Elgin must work past their differences to prove that they are still the best crew on the streets. —anonymous

    • Trivia
      All of the film's battles were very competitive in real life. The fight that breaks out during the first battle with Wade's crew was not in the script, but everyone was so mad at each other that they just started fighting. While filming the opening battle, the director would yell "cut", but Omarion kept battling with Columbus Short. Omari does a back flip, while at the same time Columbus does a move that looks like he is pulling David up. This was not in the original choreography; it was a true battle.
    • Goofs
      Although the Big Bounce dance at the end was being covered by TV crews, you can actually see this movie's film cameras and crew trying to blend in and shoot the action from various angles.
    • Quotes

      Mr. Rad: Get yo' head up. You lost the money, it's gone. But, you can't lay around in yo' misery too long. Do *not* walk outta' this place and start to second guess yo' talent. You got yo' ass whooped tonight. But, I done seen y'all whoop a many a ass, right in the same place. Now, you lost. Lemme tell you somethin' my father told me, is: "If it don't kill you, it makes you stronger". Remember that.

    You Got Swerved
    The catchphrase to this move is:

    If you want respect, you've got to take it?

    Indeed, and let me add:

    If you want a good movie, you've got to make it.

    I did indeed get served. I big plate of PoopKababs.

    I'm a big fan of the dancing. I spent many a night during my youth, glued in front of the tele, watching Solid Gold. Now that show had some dynamite dancing. And the costumes. Lordy! Lordy! Lordy! The dancing on this movie makes me think the choreographer was a 15 year old pimply faced chump named Herbert. Julia Styles is a better dancer than these kids. So is Urkel.

    Would it have killed them to have some tap dancing? Maybe some Savion Glover? Now that dude can dance.

    A plot line wouldn't have hurt either. Footloose is like Casablanca compared to this "film".

    The only dancing I did, was on my way out of the theater, and into a better movie. ie. any movie.
