' Step Up 2 the Streets' incredibly dumb and amateurish

Rating: 1/10 (17 February 2008)

Okay, are we to believe that the lead actress (Andi) was given a full scholarship to the MSA based on her hip-hop audition ? This film (?) was designed for one thing to empty out piggy banks across the nation from naive youngsters that believe they are looking at mirror images of their own pitiable lives . For the most part all the dance scenes,with the help of no less than three choreographers , are well worn and have been used in much superior fare like " Stomp the Yard" ," Fame " and "Save the Last Dance " Jon Chu is a hack of a director with no discernible talent . Chase,Robert Hoffman,looks middle aged and totally out of place in this pic . The fact this concoction was cooked up by a couple of forty year old should give anyone pause . The acting (?) is horrendous the dancing less so . It will never replace "Dancing in the Rain " This genre has quickly worn out its welcome .
