We Got Served Our review inside.
We watched this movie. We got Served.
There were some obvious parallels with Top Gun, right down to the rampant homosexual subtexts but with much less volleyball. The OC crew serves as the Russians (obviously) and the dance moves as the MiGs. Maverick (David) and Iceman (El) are friends that become bitterly divided. Maverick dates up Kelly McGillis (played by El's sister, which I don't remember from Top Gun at all!). Tom Skerritt's character is a flamboyant dance club MC with full Office Space flair known as "Mr. Rad": you can't make stuff like that up.
Our squadron meets up with some serious hardship as Goose, a little kid known as "lil Saint" dies not in a flat spin but a drive-by. Not only that but El is beaten up and in trouble with the mob -- much like Iceman being in trouble with the MiGs. Luckily a dance contest comes out of nowhere and Maverick tells Iceman "You can be my wingman, anytime." Lil Kim, contest judge, takes our breath away and the OC Russians take the highway straight into the Danger Zone.
Very nice. I found it by looking at a chronological view. By doing that you'll find a review by poptodafresh that is also pretty funny.
The servage per square inch in this movie was near INFINITY and some might argue that it has achieved a level that even the FDA wouldn't consent to.
2 things:
-having seen PopToDaFresh's review, we obviously need to up the quality of our reviews. I mean, we were good, but
...when I wake up and go to school in the morning I say to myself, "What would Eljin do?" After that I roll roughly five feet on my head and start to spin like I was either on fire or having a seizure...
is on a whole other level of funny.
-Also, feel free to vote that our comment was useful. Maybe not in this case, as pop's was clearly more useful, but in the future.
