Who knew that Mr. Mariah
Carey – aka Nick Cannon – had directed another feature film? It’s a high
school comedy titled “School Dance,” which
judging from the trailer, is exactly the sort of film you would expect Cannon to
direct.
I mean, seriously, think about it. If Cannon was directing “Selma” then that would be an unexpected surprise, and we would be forced to
look at him in a different light altogether (“Wow! Cannon is directing ‘Selma’? I didn’t
know the brother was so deep”). But “School Dance”? Yeah that sounds about right.
The cast is also what you would expect: Mike Epps, Katt Williams, Luenell, Amber
Rose, George Lopez, with Bobb’e J. Thompson in the lead, playing a high school student who tries to win
his high school dance contest to get the woman of his dreams, while also trying to survive her gangsta brother’s crew’s initiation.
The only person missing is Stacy Dash, but she’s now busy over at Fox News. And something tells me that Mariah will not be making any surprise cameos in it.
The film comes out next month on VOD, and theatrically in
some markets.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you:
