Plot: 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.

 You Got Served may be a crudely acted, elementary story, but it's almost impossible not to be impressed by the film's dance numbers, artistically choreographed blends of breakdancing, b-boying and head-spinning.  --Guylaine Cadorette (Hollywood.com)
''You Got Served'' will probably keep its core audience of suburban teenagers mildly entertained for the course of its 93 minutes. Urban grumps, however, may be distracted by Mr. Stokes's annoyingly overedited execution of the dance sequences.--Dave Kehr (The New York Times)
The hip-hop dance sequences in “You Got Served,” the new urban dance drama are thumping, exciting, and fun to watch. Too bad the rest of the film is positively hip-hopeless. C--Brian Orndorf (FilmJerk.com)
The funny thing is that by reveling in its youth coolness, by hammering home its hip-hop dance beats and video cinematography, You Got Served proves how lame and temporary it really is.  --Pete Croatto (FilmCritic.com)
Break-dancing movies, which mercifully became extinct after "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo" in 1984, have experienced an unwarranted revival with "You Got Served," which is every bit as cliched, amateurish and feeble as its predecessors.  --Lou Lumenick (New York Post)

| Look at what "8 Mile'' and "Bring It On'' have wrought: a street-dance film that's lively and silly and about as "street" as a Britney Spears video. --Carla Meyer (San Francisco Chronicle)
