Step Up... gets my Thumbs Up.

Rating: 8/10 (21 August 2006)

This was a very refreshing movie to view. I think the director took good care in exposing each character's strength's and weakness. I found myself cheering for everyone to "get it right". The ending made it all worth the ride. Beautifully done. We need more movies like this not just in the theater's but on television also. It's good to see the arts being portrayed as a blend. The way the cultures blend in a large city, broadening their base to reach out and touch everyone, insuring the survival of its being. Through out the movie you keep wanting to shout to the main characters to step up, don't stop, keep going, meanwhile you feel their pain and understand that this just maybe, all there is for them. Then they show that they have more to offer, you scream with them... yeah! That's what I am talking about! If the movie doesn't move you, the music will. I only hope ALL the music finds it's way on a soundtrack disc.
