Another Dance Movie

Rating: 5/10 (14 January 2007)

As a dancer myself I can enjoy a well choreographed dance sequence, however, I think that was the only thing from this movie that I enjoyed. Step Up was entirely predictable and the acting was mediocre. I got somewhat bored throughout its entirety, and although the end sequence was decently done it was nothing spectacular. The romantic storyline isn't very compelling, and I never felt that any of the characters were particularly deep. The plot in and of itself is stereotypical, played out by individuals who's dancing definitely beats out their acting. This movie feels like a cheesy version of Save the Last Dance to me, and if that isn't your cup of tea, I wouldn't even bother watching Step Up. If you're still curious, it isn't entirely painful to watch, but I personally wouldn't say its worth the money of renting.
