I can't quite recommend it, but... for a certain demographic why not.
Promises to hit all the urban-dance hallmarks with sledgehammer intensity.
Only any good when people are dancing.
For all of its ragin' dance moves and rebellious talk, is high-spirited and harmless. An MC at one dance contest declares, "This ain't 'High School Musical'!" Oh, but it is.
Let's wait for a movie where they do get it all right: story, acting and dancing. It'll happen, just not this time.
The story may be old, but these kids act -- and dance -- as though they are telling it for the first time.
To say this film (and any other dancing competition film) is formulaic is an understatement. However, formalism is entirely forgivable when you look at the marketplace.
...a minor improvement over its almost unwatchable predecessor...
This isn't a very good movie, but it's probably the best of it's kind.
When the dancers are on, so is the movie. But then, unfortunately, there's the rest of it.
A dance romance with attitude that will fall short if you're expecting fulfillment in the story department.
No disrespect to Channing Tatum, who does one better than J.T. by bringing both sexy and baggy back, but pencil-thin dweeb Adam G. Sevani is the star of this nonstop dance-a-thon.
Standard, well-made, urban dance movie.
Will dance triumph over adversity? Will love between two attractive vacuous actors conquer all?
It's not a little obvious that the Step Up franchise means to keep a Disneyfied hand in the apparently inexorable dance movie cycle.
It suffers from a real lack of charisma, still the dance bits are good.
With a script cut-and-pasted from every other dance movie, this film is shockingly corny.
It suffers from a real lack of charisma, still the dance bits are good.
A robust addition to the street dance sub genre of movies, Step Up 2 The Streets offers plenty of exhilarating routines and a feasible storyline
All of this feverish bending, twirling, twisting and snapping of the body is so infused with attitude, in fact, that it allows the film and its characters to live and breathe in ways that run counter to the movie's otherwise rhythmless script.
Inexplicably, I liked this film more than its predecessor. Wait - let me type that again, just to let the reality sink into my own mind: I actually liked Step Up 2.
This is an average story of a young woman making it on her own. No, I'm not talking about Mary Tyler Moore, I'm talking about Andi, played by Briana Evigan, in "Step Up 2 the Streets," a film that delivers just about what you'd expect.
