Step Up is not a good film

Rating: 1/10 (15 August 2006)

Step Up was quite honestly painful to watch. The movie perhaps one of the most cliché and predictable and boring story lines i have ever seen (some awkward cross between Fame, Save the Last Dance, with an extra helping of teen angst and of course more cliché). Even some plot sequences seemed not to be plausible or were completely inconsequential to the story line. In addition, the performances by the actors were by all means not their best performances (aided by a particularly terse screenplay). To round out the picture, the directing and cinematography was at times quite distracting from film. Sure it was a dance movie, but if you want to see good dancing it would be well worth your time to watch for something else watch something else.
