 2.5/5 |
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. Full Review |

...a minor improvement over its almost unwatchable predecessor... Full Review |

|
2.5/4 |
This isn't a very good movie, but it's probably the best of it's kind. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/5 |
A dance romance with attitude that will fall short if you're expecting fulfillment in the story department. Full Review |
||
 3/5 |
Standard, well-made, urban dance movie. Full Review |

|
2/5 |
Will dance triumph over adversity? Will love between two attractive vacuous actors conquer all? Full Review |

It's not a little obvious that the Step Up franchise means to keep a Disneyfied hand in the apparently inexorable dance movie cycle. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
It suffers from a real lack of charisma, still the dance bits are good. Full Review |

|
2/5 |
With a script cut-and-pasted from every other dance movie, this film is shockingly corny. Full Review |

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 Full Review |

C+ |
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. Full Review |

3/4 |
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. Full Review |

2/4 |
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. Full Review |

...a Flashdance wannabe... Full Review |

2.5/5 |
It's another of the many dance movies that fifteen years from now may just be admired in the same vein "Krush Groove" and "Breakin'" are... Full Review |

3/5 |
Electrifying dance elevates an almost boring film. Full Review |
||
|
5/10 |
It's very hard to argue that the dancing falls short, which means that the film at least justifies its own existence. Full Review |

I can’t quite recommend it, but... for a certain demographic why not. Full Review |

Step Up 2 has only a few points of correlation with its predecessor. It’s also probably the single most racist movie that will be released by any major American studio in the first 10 years of the twenty-first century. Full Review |
