Less Dance Than Expected

Rating: 5/10 (26 February 2008)

Based on the trailer, I thought this movie would pretty much be all incredible dance moves strung together by a weak plot. I got the weak plot, which is totally to be expected because movie's like Step Up 2 aren't made for the plot, they're made to show something else. That being said, I expected way more awesome dancing than I saw. The space between the opening dance and finally was really only dotted with cool moves. However, the opening (which you can mostly see through the previews) and finally dances coupled with the music were fantastic. Overall, a decent movie, but I'd see the matinÃ©e and save yourself a few bucks.
