This jukebox musical is full of fluffy fun but rough singing voices and a campy tone might not make you feel like "You Can Dance" the whole 90 minutes.

19% Meet Dave
Easy gags and slack direction drag this occasionally clever alien-out-of-planet comedy down to unimaginative lows.
| |

| |
13% Over Her Dead Body
With few laughs and little romantic chemistry, Over Her Dead Body lacks the ingredients of a successful romantic comedy.
| |
78% The Bank Job
