Reception
The film's reviews were overwhelmingly negative. It has a 0% approval rating on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, based on six reviews. Galen Holley of the 'Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal' said, "'C Me Dance' is a darker, riskier movie that tends more toward mysticism than Christian social commentary," but did also say, "['C Me Dance' is] creatively ambitious and bold." Luke Thompson of 'L.A. Weekly' wrote that the film "plays like a fake Christian movie Troy McClure might end up starring in on an episode of 'The Simpsons', though its apparently for real". Gary Goldstein of the 'Los Angeles Times' was also negative towards the film, saying, "it's fine to know your audience and cater to its entertainment needs, but even the most devout viewer subjected to Robbins' ham-fisted film might think, 'OK, now tell me something I don't already know'." 'The Huffington Post' included the film in its article "The 9 Worst Movies Ever Made."References
