Synopsis: Enter the world of street dancers... You find them all across the country -- on street corners, in alleyways, on playgrounds or in dark, sweaty dance halls. Crowds gather to cheer and scream for their favorite crew locked into battle... Enter the world of street dancers... You find them all across the country -- on street corners, in alleyways, on playgrounds or in dark, sweaty dance halls. Crowds gather to cheer and scream for their favorite crew locked into battle with other formidable crews. With unbelievable raw talent, they demonstrate explosive moves that defy gravity and spin like tops to the rhythmic sounds of urban music. This is where our story begins. Elgin (Marques Houston of IMX) and David (Omari "Omarion" Grandberry of B2K) are the best of friends. Their crew is unstoppable. But when another town's top group challenges them to a battle, David and Elgin -- along with their buddies (Jarell "J-Boog" Houston, DeMario "Raz-B" Thornton and Dreux "Lil' Fizz" Frederic of B2K) 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 their motives are revealed, they'll have to come together to take on the ultimate street dance battle as a team. With everything at stake and even more to lose, David and Elgin must throw everything they've got onto the floor and believe -- in themselves, in their crew, in their dreams. -- © Columbia Pictures [More]

We actually begin to laugh at the inanity of it all, wanting to yell at the screen: 'Just shut up and dance!'

Before shooting began, the dancers rehearsed for eight weeks to develop off-the-hook new dance moves, which begs the question: Who was working on the script during that time?

You Got Served is about dancing. Street dancing. The sort of make-believe dancing that inner-city youths participate in instead of having sex or joining a gang.
