You should probably sit down for this: from the makers of Praise Band: The Movie comes C Me Dance, tagline: “A dance that shines through the darkness,” another Christian movie coming out in theaters Friday. The less said about this trailer, the funnier, but if you think you have any clue where it’s going from the first minute, um, you definitely do not. Forget Fireproof, Christian movies are no longer messing around. This is going to be those Jesus Camp kids’ favorite movie ever:
Spiritual warfare and dancing! The only thing that could make this trailer better is if the father’s announcement that “if this is true…man that’s gonna tick off the Devil” was followed by a record-scratch. I kind of actually want to SEE this movie, but it’s currently only coming to fourteen states. You can help bring C Me Dance to your town by filling out this form — unfortunately, there’s probably no way to have a screening as a joke, but I bet it’ll be on Netflix soon. Naum Ashta Deah! (Thanks for the tip, Tori!)

Damn Lindsay, where do you find these things?
Is it just me or is there something…weird going on with her eyebrows?

JC, this exact same post is on numerous message board topics about this film. You are obviously a bot or some kind of publicist for this wretched film, not an actual fan. Please go watch The Milky Way, Marat/Sade, Weekend, or Lunacy and stop parading this piece of kitsch like it’s some kind of revelultionary work of art.
c me watch this. the devil may be ticked off, but i am delighted.
The devil doesn’t have eyebrows?!
I love how this is clearly a film about dancing, the Devil, and eyebrows.
*Tries to pick the 5 worst things about this trailer*
Why the slangy/grammatically poor title?
What does dancing have to do with any of this?
Why does the Devil speak in tongues?
Is it an uplifting underdog art school film or a horror film?
WHAAAAAT THE EFFF???
This will be screened at my funeral. Most so people know that A: The guy who runs the place I?m going to is a BAMF and B: He hates dying dancers.
I’m pretty sure I’ve figured it out. The shadowy underground National Ballet Association is targeting Christian girls by spreading the message that the ONLY WAY to cast the devil out of your life is by buying a pair of pointe shoes doing some advanced barre work.
You’ll never stop Big Ballet!
wow, the devil hates people with cancer.
i’m glad to see the company that sold david his contacts for coupon the movie is still around to sell to the devil
What What??? Am I the only one that has no idea what’s happening here?
‘It’s… him’. The one man ticker tape parade guy. Look out!
haha i love it. throw some leaves! that’ll make it more evil!
After Lindsay’s ominous caveat, I thought it was going to turn out that the dad was raping the daughter after the mother’s death or something, so finding out it was just a ticked off Satan was no biggie.
Every time that I watch a trailer for a christian movie there’s a fear that the Linda Blair’s face is going to pop up and scream at me, the C Me Dance trailer has now vanquished that fear/turned into my new fear 2k9.
thought she was pregnant…. guess not.
No, I totally did too. I figured that “advanced stages” and “treatment” were examples of how Christians talk about accidental pregnancy.
There’s a lot that I don’t understand about God, the universe, good vs. evil, etc.
There’s a lot more that I don’t understand about C Me Dance and its trailer.
That dad punched the devil in the face!
Meadow Soprano’s career has really hit the skids. And was that some Evancescense type shit I heard? Perfect.
Chick catches some quick and deadly disease all because she wanted to dance and hang out, which of course was God’s plan, then she fights the devil. Where’s the confusion?
After the first few seconds, I chuckled at what I thought was an unintentional juxtaposition of music that sounds like the Halloween theme with a Lifetime Original Movie plot. But it turns out the choice was motivated all along. You got me, Christian cinema. Damn, look at you–breaking down genre barriers all over the place.
“I just wanted to dance and…. hang out.”
Why is the devil always portrayed in movies wearing a leather jacket?
When you’re a Jet, you’re a Jet all the way.
PLEASE let the climax be some kind of dance off with Satan. That the purity and grace of her choreography repels him?
Ah, according the official website its a ‘heartwarming thriller’. Which is absolutely a genre. Absolutely.
“A Gentle Art”?! HAS NOBODY SEEN STEP UP 2: THE STREETS?
From the official site: “Marketing Note: This movie is a chick flick with a manifested menacing devil. This will attract a wide demo of men and women.”
It’s the bad punctuation that sticks in my mind.
Dancing is of the devil.

what is this, an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
one: who threw leaves over the devil?
and two: so the devil and the father are married now that they exchanged vows?
so the Footloose minister wasn’t that crazy when he banned music and dancing.
hindsight, folks. hindsight. (thanks, Christian Cinema.)
This film is going to tick off the devil for making him look like a total wuss.
OMG Lindsay. This made my day.
Oh fuck me, it’s set in Pittsburgh too. This sucks.
I just decided I am going to see this movie.
HAHAHA, Pittsburgh. Who sets movies in Pittsburgh?
No. I meant that I live in Pittsburgh and am sad that this movie is associated with the city. In the words of President Obama, “OH, WELL.”
I just want to say that my freshman year in college, I had the same bedspread as the girl who just wants to dance and hang out. I like seeing that they’re decorating the set in Wal-Mart Chic, circa 2003.
the devil comes to get you when you skip ballet class to bump n grind. also cancer.
“a serpent disguised as a dove” ?!?
WTF that isn’t even in the Bible. Then again neither is an eyebrow-less Satan.
wait til you come across Pastor Greg, and a lot of the Carman stuff— also Cornerstone TV at ctvn.org…… again there is a huge iceberg of christians knowing whats best for idiots line that I have been following… stay the course.

This is the best thing I have ever seen in my life
This is the best thing i have ever seen in my life.
Holy shit, this is actually playing in my town on Friday! I want to go, but I don’t know if I actually want to give more money to these people.
Coming soon to lifetime. Airing right after one of those nora roberts crapfests.
Jesus would totally win “Dancing with the Stars.”
This is the best trailer I’ve ever seen.
When I heard her say, “It’s…him!” I couldn’t help but think of The Jerk, when the guy who tried to shoot Navin comes back to deliver a package – “It’s him! What’s him doing here?!”

I have a sneaking suspicion that most of the lost souls are planning on seeing “Fast and Furious” this weekend.
lol.
Thanks for being a shining example of everything wrong with Christians. You condescend to the ones you try to win over, telling them that they’re the “lost souls” and you’re the guide to their salvation. Messiah complex much? You despise the very people you think you’re trying to save, and are caught in limbo between fighting these people and trying to reach them, and thus recruit them. Your tact essentially boils down to “Fuck you! You’re degenerates that will spend eternity in unfathomable suffering and agony! Join us and you won’t suck so hard!”
“Oh yeah, and the movie will reach the lost souls and encourage mankind to maybe stop destroying each other.”
Take a good, hard look at the above sentence, and tell me where Jesus’ advocacy of humility comes into play. You’re making Jesus weep. Stop pretending that you follow his teachings and just own up to the militant dogma of moral superiority that you practice.
I do agree with you about people making flash judgments of movies they haven’t seen. It peeves me to no end, but honestly, the film just looks awful. Dialogue, lighting, performances, I could go on. I have no problem with watching a well-made film about Christianity, but there’s nothing wrong with calling a dud a dud. And this looks like a big, soggy Milk Dud.
Wow… I didn’t agree the first time you posted that exact comment.But now I get your point. Also… it’s World of Warcraft or WoW. Nobody calls it Warcraft. And what The One said.
footloose part II
I am lucky enough to live in one of the 14 states that will be showing C me dance. So I was lucky enough to see the trailer before duplicity. Even though I live in the crackerest cracker town this side of crackervania the entire theater was chuckling and making smart alecky remarks to their companions. This filled me with a strange sensation that could have been pride but who knows anymore.
This movie makes me want to learn to dance, and get cancer!
But does it make you want to hang out? That’s the real question.
im sorry, wait a second, did i get this right?… this flick is about a terminally ill teen age prophet who is forced to fight against the devil instead of dancing and hanging out in her last days? ….. gold.
The synopsis for this on the official site is so creepy…
Also, watch the trailer without the sound on. You can’t believe how much blinking they do. It really brings out the cheesiness.
the dad looks like formerly coke addicted Anthony Lapaglia, and the daughter looks like a currently coke addicted Jamie Lynn Sigler
As someone who is a Christian, these kinds of movies always make me very sad. I hate that the arts and film, or at least making something that doesn’t suck, has been totally be neglected, if not discouraged, in the practice of Christianity. I apologize that films like this exist to be honest, because really, the only people going to see this are people who “have been saved”–I apologize that most Christian media seems (and probably is) so self-serving. That’s not what Jesus taught at all, and he never said anything about shaving your eyebrows to seems evil…geees

So nobody has response for this?
I didn’t expect too many that would articulate a point without some sly comment attached to it. They can sling trash but without seeing the film, there is no real standing to make substantial comments that mean anything. I would be very surprised to see a posting that makes sense without stupidity attached to it.
You or others have copy/pasted this post onto numerous sites mentioning the film. This is called SPAM. I find no importance in your words as they are obviously not yours, or you are some sort of promotional agent for the film.
Your opinion is pretty much worthless.
^ That’s your director.
Um, I’m not in the movie making business. Sorry to dissapoint your lousy comment.
That’s not what that means. It’s comedic wordplay that we use on here. You really should reserve judgment for things that you have a better understanding of. Hmmm, this whole pot/kettle situation kinda negates your whole argument. Whoops! Have fun at dinner.
Idiot.
If what you say is true and this movie lacks both a “$100 Million dollar budget” as well as “sex, swearing, nudity, innuendo?s [sic], blood, gore, senseless violence,” etc., then is God the main thing that is supposed to draw all the people in? HA, OKAY THEN KIRK CAMERON.
And Satan is always used as a scare tactic, hence the leather jacket. I guess you’re pretty embarrassed now that everyone knows you didn’t tune into the intellectual forum of the year hosted by Nightline. Read about it!
No one said that God had to be the only thing left. Kirk Cameron makes one Christian movie and he is all you can think of? You must still have his poster on your wall. My comment on satan was to tell you the truth of how the charachter is portrayed in the film. That’s all. Carrie, I will never be embarrassed by my lifes experiences and the things I know are to be true. However I feel sad to see people posting blogs instead of living life. Albeit I am here, but not for long.
According to the Bible, in which has killed more.
God 2,301,417
Satan 10
Juuuust saayyyiiiinnnngggggg.
Nobody is saying that it’s bad because it’s about God, we’re just saying it looks bad because A) The acting is sub-par B) the storyline borders on ridiculous and C) it just doesn’t look like something worth paying nine bucks for; and it’s not because of the lack of sex, swearing, and violence. Not everyone who isn’t Christian or a fan of this movie is an immature gore-enthusiast. Cut it out with the stereotyping, man.
Yesssssssss. Ballet > The Devil.
How do I screen capture her expression at about :96? I want it.
:55 I guess. Yes. I watched it again. For the third time.
Um, I’m not in the movie making business. Sorry to dissapoint your lousy comment.
Your comment was longer than the post itself. I doubt many people read the whole thing (I didn’t) let alone having a response for it. Also- spell check. It works wonders. And being sarcastic is not the best way to bring people around to your way of thinking. Jesus wouldn’t condescend to people.
I work at a movie theater, and we have a print of this movie showing.
We sold two tickets the entire weekend, and they were sold to the creator of this movie and his friend. I took his picture by the poster we have up. It was incredibly sad. That being said, I’m totally going to watch it tomorrow. So hilarious.
Nothing can prepare you for The Yachting Life of Captain Man Hands! Holy fucking cow…
