One part treatise on the power of dance, one part paint-by-the-numbers rom-com, one part crime drama and entirely, unexpectedly bonkers, Nick Cannon’s latest directorial outing “King of the Dancehall” giddily and greedily blends tropes and tricks into an amusing if deeply uneven romp set to the throbbing tones of Jamaican dancehall music. Cannon pulls quadruple duty on the film, serving as director, screenwriter, producer and star in a feature that happily blends together plotting that wouldn’t be out of place in either a “Step Up” feature or a shoddy “Scarface” knockoff. And while the sum of its parts are never as energetic as its base components, there’s an unmistakable charm to whatever the hell it is Cannon is trying to do here.

Brett Lawrie went 3-4 with a homerun, three runs and three Rbi as the Blue Jays (40-38) used a seven-run second inning to blow past the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (43-35) 11-2 on Saturday afternoon.
Yunel Escobar also went deep for the Blue Jays, who have now won two straight.
The Blue Jays’ offense was rolling, scoring eight earned runs on 10 hits, and so was the pitching of starter Henderson Alvarez.
Alvarez, one of two starters to not be hit with the injury bug, went seven innings and allowed just one run and didn’t walk a batter. It was the sophomore’s ninth quality start in 16 games pitched this season.
The Jays got things started in the bottom of the first after Jose Bautista grounded into a run-producing ground ball double play. In the very next inning, the Jays caught fire with an 11-batter hit parade.
