Urban dance hips-hops across the 8 Mile mark in You Got Served, a ghetto epic about a pair of street kids - Elgin (Marques Houston) and David (Omari Granberry) - who lead their dance crew in competition against some rival homies.

 You Got Served (2004): Marques Houston, Omari Grandberry, Jennifer Freeman, Jarell Houston - PopMatters Film Review
Just in time for their feature film debut, the enormously popular B2K has disbanded, due to "cash disputes." In fact, You Got Served arrives in theaters while rumors are flying as to efforts to reconstitute the group (with Brandy's brother Ray-J replacing Omarion, no less).
You Got Served offers considerably less emotional intensity: the rote plot has a dance crew competing for big money, fame, and, of course, their own, briefly disrupted friendship.
For one thing, You Got Served is directed by the group's manager, Chris Stokes (cousin to Raz-B), whose previous directing experience includes music videos and 2001's House Party 4.

"You Got Served" demonstrates that while the dance moves may have advanced in style and sophistication in the past twenty years, the plotting certainly hasn't kept up with the pace.
"You Got Served" is a wholly commercial enterprise, a low-budget film about hip hop dancers starring B2K and Marques Houston, and written and directed by their manager.
Her proclamation that the dance battle between Wade's crew and Elgin's new posse should be settled by a "straight street" showdown, compounded by a move by Wade that has to be the most colossal tactical error possible in that situation, allow David and Elgin to reunite for one final duel with their OC enemies.

 You Got Served
Stokes's music video training serves him well for his film's bread and butter though at times one wishes he'd lay off the cheesy visual tricks and simply just point and shoot these impressive displays--case in point, his irksome tendency to punch-up any hard landing or stomp with a quake of the frame.
And that points to what is Stokes's key miscalculation with You Got Served; I can see this same cast of relative acting novices working far better in a fairly lighthearted dance-centered feature, not something that takes itself so seriously.
But when the dialogue and melodrama is dialed down, the music is turned up, and everyone simply just shuts up and dances, You Got Served does spring to life, and all involved look more interested, invested and—crucially—comfortable.

 Movie Review: You Got Served / Mountain Xpress / Asheville, NC
In any case, the break/street dancing is considerably better than what passes for drama in You Got Served.
Those determined to see it aren't going to care what a bunch of old fuddy-duddies think about You Got Served, though goodness knows they ought to at least care that they're being served up a leaden mass of clichés, predictable plot contrivances and – Steve Harvey to one side – absolutely abysmal acting.
From what I can determine, the dramatic portions of the movie are just dead spaces for the audience to talk on their cell phones.

Teen poster boys Omari Grandberry (also known as Omarion) and Marques "Batman" Houston of the R&B singing groups B2K and IMX, respectively, star as David and Elgin, the leaders of a street dance troupe.
No crew in Los Angeles can touch their scintillating moves until Wade (Christopher Jones), a smirky, spiky-haired suburban white boy, brings in a pack to steal their thunder.
The dance-offs include a curiously high percentage of break-dancing moves, as the crews execute a variety of eye- and limb-popping head spins, windmills and freeze poses.
