A cute dance film

Rating: 7/10 (22 October 2013)

Step up 1 is a romantic comedy about the meeting of classical and street dance. When Tayler, street dancer and troublemaker, is arrested and sentenced to community service, he doesn't know it's actually a once in a life time opportunity. Indeed, he will meet the ballet dancer Norah, a student of the school and become her dance Partner.
I had read a lot of negative reviews about this movie, and I can confirm some of the bad comments. It is true that the story is a little girlish, and you mustn't expect a huge brain activity while watching it ! Tayler gives his help to Nora, then take it back and give it again... You can find out the end since the beginning ! But on the other hand, if your goal for the night is to stay on your couch with some (girl) friends and enjoy a sweet comedy together, Step Up is for you ! If you are easy to please, you might even forget that you've already guess the end, and hope, cry and laugh with the characters.
Moreover, you will certainly enjoy the dance scenes, which are more and more delightful throughout the film, and as you reach the end, the last scene is a real gift to the eyes and ears.
In conclusion, I'd recommend it if you had a rough day and want to go to sleep with a cute smile on your face !
