In between stomp the yard and you got served.. (and a little of HS Musical)

Rating: 7/10 (25 April 2008)

OK so first.. step up is a love story.. i am clarifying that cause others see the film for the dance moves.. so here is the catch.. Watching the film at the beginning reminded me of Stomp the Yard(the worse version of you got served).. The protagonist wanted(maybe "needed" is the appropriate term) to change his way of living.. they are good for nothing.. then here came the chance and this chance is something they doubted at first.. then they grab hold of it, *poof! end of the story..
Step Up's storyline is like that.. but i gotta say the moves does not s*** as much as the stomp the yard's moves! and Channing Tatum is a good dancer! He's great! But folks, we watched this film not for the steps but for the love story that came up w/ his passion for dancing.. So this is where the You Got Served inspiration came in. The directors got so hooked up with the dance steps that they forgot to add details to the story itself! The story even ended like the ending of High School Musical which is kinda funny! I mean, this is a LOVE STORY! not some gangster inspired film nor a child psychological feed of being a high schooler! that I could say made this film not good to watch..
all in all I really love the roles of the characters and the story.. It just so happen that the director and other tops failed to establish it.
