Watch Freak Dance

Freak Dance is a 2010 musical comedy film directed by Matt Besser and starring Megan Heyn, Amy Poehler, and Joel Spence. The film follows a group of misfit dancers as they try to save their local community center from an evil developer who wants to tear it down and replace it with a shopping mall. The dancers, who belong to a struggling dance troupe called the Funky Bunch, decide to enter a dance competition in order to win the prize money and save the community center. Along the way, they encounter a variety of colorful characters, including a washed-up disco star named Funky Bunch Jr. (played by Michael Cassady), a quirky dance instructor named Missy (played by Kathryn Burns), and a malicious dance rival named Cocolonia (played by Tara Karsian).

The film features a mix of original songs and dance routines, as well as a variety of comedic sketches and parodies. Highlights include a hilarious send-up of the classic dance film Flashdance, a tribute to cheesy 80s music videos, and a gut-busting spoof of the popular reality TV show So You Think You Can Dance.

The film also benefits from a strong cast of comedic actors, including the aforementioned Amy Poehler as the community center's uptight manager, Joel Spence as a clueless dance dad, and Megan Heyn as the rebellious leader of the Funky Bunch.

Despite its low budget and relatively unknown cast, Freak Dance manages to deliver an entertaining and often downright hilarious film that will appeal to fans of dance movies, musical comedies, and absurdist humor. Whether you're a die-hard fan of breakdancing, a lover of cheesy 80s pop music, or just looking for a good laugh, Freak Dance is sure to deliver the goods.
