Step Up 2 the streets 4 real competing against 4 1 O... I feel like I just read an addition table

Rating: 2/10 (1 September 2008)

Great dancing... too bad they could afford the choreographer, but skimped out on the good actors, I know I shouldn't have watched this film, I didn't like the first Step Up movie, what in the world possessed me to watch the sequel? My friends and I were bored and needed a movie to watch and since a couple of my girlfriends are just die hard fans of the first Step Up, they were dying to see the sequel. I think this was just a horribly written movie and so badly acted, it's the same plot recycled from the first Step Up, only this time it's with the girl who's the trouble maker and the guy is the preppy rich kid. They just couldn't do anything original or even classy... as much as I enjoyed the dancing, there were some incredible moves, this was meant to be a movie, not just a tutorial on how to dance, good dance moves do not make a good movie.
Andie is apart of a dance crew who not only dance great, but they also cause disruption in society and are wanted by all the police. Andie's guardian gives her one more chance to straighten up and sends her to a preppy dance school where she meets the kids who dance "properly". But when her crew finds out where she's been going, they kick her out, but a preppy dancer encourages her to start her own crew and invites others, but the teacher gets angry when the streets are threatened and damage school property, the teacher threatens expulsion to anyone who is apart of the street dance.
Step Up 2 the Streets is definitely for those who enjoy these dance movies, but for me, nothing stood out any different from any other dance movie. This is a rental or just a skip, I feel bad because I didn't want to see this movie, but I will give it it's chops for a great ending dance sequence, these kids were absolutely amazing and their timing was on, I can't believe how well it was performed. Over all this isn't by any means a horrible movie, but the acting and story just make it a non watchable film, just fast forward to the dance sequences, that's the only entertainment of the film.
2/10
