Step Up 2: The Streets (2008)

DIRECTOR: Jon Chu
STUDIO: Summit Entertainment
STARRING: Briana Evigan, Robert Hoffman, Adam G. Sevani
RATING: PG-13
GENRE: Drama, Music, Romance


GRADE: C-


Okay, so the new movie "Step Up 3D" is coming out, so obviously the other two are playing on TV for the next month or so. So, I managed to catch this and decided to use it as another review, since I've been lacking lately.

So, the movie starts out with this girl who talks about how her mother inspired her to dance and now it's all she really does. BUT, however, her other school is failing her, so she has to go to a different private school for the Performing Arts. But, when her crew finds out about it, they kick her off and she has to create her own crew to perform at "The Streets," a dance-off of the local street crews.

Obviously, you can point out everything in this movie that will happen. Nothing really special or new or different than the last one, only the roles are fliped. The dancing was nice, though, and I did like the final scene in the rain.

Overall, if you're bored at home, and want to watch a film with dancing and this plotline seems to interest you, then why not, really? It's a cute film, and I'm sure the series is decent.

  1. Openly, I'll admit that you're right about the plot...nothing really special or unique. BUT, I thought the dancing was great! Especially the last one in the rain! If I were ever to need inspiration for a dance, I would watch that specific clip!
