Friday night, Bethany and I endured an icy walk out for dinner, picked up a bottle of wine, and returned home for a movie date night. We cut the lights, plugged in the tree, and popped in one of the all time classic Christmas films out there: You Got Served.
Now I know what you’re saying. How is a movie starring comedian Steve Harvey and pop group B2K about urban street battle dancing related to the holidays? Basically, the main group led by Elgin and David represents Christmas and how it’s the best kick ass holiday out there. Think of this team as Santa Claus, Rudolph, Frosty, and all the elves dominating all the other holidays because they get everyone all worked up months ahead of time. Plus, they have headspins. The group led by spiky haired Wade would be composed of the Easter Bunny, the Lucky Charms Leprechaun, Mother Nature, Father Time, Cupid, and the Pilgrims. They get their due and have some fantastic rhythm of their own, but the only way they can be as popular at Christmas is by stealing their moves…probably by the Dreidel. I see Steve Harvey as Mrs. Claus who has her allegiance to one of the teams, but in no way wants anything to do with dancing for money and tries to maintain the peace between the two groups. Finally, I see the drug dealer, Emerald, as a metaphor for St. Escobar, the patron saint of cocaine.
So if you’ve seen The Santa Clause or It’s a Wonderful Life one to many times I strongly recommend a hip-hop dance off to keep you in the holiday spirit.
