* BrokenAesop: In the third act, the Devil confronts Sheri and tells her that she must stop her mission to convert the world, only for Sheri to retort that mankind has the right to choose whether to follow God or Satan. This would be fine if the movie wasn't a giant AssimilationPlot where Sheri has the power to convert people to Christianity (regardless of their political or religious leanings beforehand) with a touch or a glare.

Square Peg Round Trope. This is Fridge Horror, which belongs on the YMMV page. And it is already there.


* PoesLaw: Except instead of a parody,this is basically a horror movie where we're expected to root for the villains. It's even ReligiousHorror, since Sheri's power causes people to convert without choosing to; under most versions of Christianity that would mean they aren't actually saved and can't be saved without breaking the spell, and are thus doomed to hell.

Sinkhole. Don't do this. Potholes should not be used for snarking, they should be used for actual instances of tropes in works.

''C Me Dance'' is a 2009 Christian film written, directed by, and co-starring Greg Robbins and is produced by Uplifting Entertainment.

17-year-old Sheri is an aspiring dancer who develops leukemia. She begins to feel angry at her father and at {{God}}, while her father seeks help to rekindle her relationship with God and re-focus on her dreams to perform in the Pittsburgh Ballet. She is ultimately graced with the power to [[EasyEvangelism convert others to Christianity]] via her touch. Along the way, {{Satan}} intimidates Sheri through things like [[NightmareSequence nightmare sequences]] and [[DemonicPossession demonically possessing semis]].

''C Me Dance'' received mostly negative reviews, resulting in a 0% score at RottenTomatoes. Luke Thompson of the ''L.A. Weekly'' said that it "plays like a fake Christian movie Troy [=McClure=] might end up starring in on an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', though it’s apparently for real." However, Christian organizations, such as Donald Wildmon of the American Family Association, gave it more positive scores. [[DullSurprise What a surprise]].
