Watch the Goofy, Spoofy Trailer for Upright Citizen Brigade's Freak Dance

Comedy troupe Upright Citizen's Brigade take their sketch and improv hijinks to the feature film format in Freak Dance, a movie that purports to spoof "every dance movie ever made." Featuring cheesy '80s fashion and bad '80s movie attitudes to match, it certainly covers a lot of ground in the dance movie genre. But every dance movie there is? We'll see about that. Upside: It does have Amy Poehler spitting lines like, 'That music sounds like murder!' Check it out after the jump.
