Summary: Incredible dancing and that's what matters
Comment: Step Up 2 is not the type of film you watch because you want to be blown away by an incredible
story, or incaptivated by an actors daring yet rewarding portrayal of a character - it's not
something you'll choose because you know that afterwards you'll never see the world in the same way
again, you won't be inspired to be a better person, this film won't even make you cry. You watch
Step Up 2 for one reason alone - and that is the incredible dancing that no dance film has ever seen
the likes of.

The story is something along these lines - Andie is part of a dance crew
called the 410 who periodically take to the streets to be a menace and post the videos of their
actions up on the internet. She's being brought up by her mothers friend who's had enough with her
involvement with the crew and wants to send her to live with her aunt. Tyler manages to convince
Andie that she should join the MSA and after a 'unique' audition and a lot of words of support from
Chase Collins (who is something like an MSA legend) she gets the place. She finds it difficult to
adjust with the school's style of dancing and due to all the extra hours she's putting in she gets
kicked off her crew. Chase, seeing how down this has made her decides to help her put together a new
crew, full of MSA students, determined to battle in out at the streets (an illegal dance
competition), but will they be accepted into the competiton when the 410 are determined to make
their lives hell?

The cast are all primarily dancers before actors, though I can't see
what professional actors could have done differently - the script and story are to blame for the
faults of the film, not the actors who I believe done the best they could with what they were given.
The soundtrack was perfect - the kind of songs that make you want to get up off your seat though
you're watching a film, and if it weren't for the dancing you cannot take your eyes off of then you
probably would. The choreography was inventive, daring, and very, very good and the dancers were
faultless. Robert Hoffman and Adam Sevani have definatley got very promising futures ahead of
them.

I like this film, I saw it twice in the cinema because it is a fun film a good
way to spend two hours of an evening when theres nothing else to do. This will never be one of the
greatest films ever made, but it is a wicked little dance film with some of the best dancing I've
ever seen and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys this kind of thing.

Summary: Really Good
Comment: Obviously designed for the younger generation, Step Up 2: The Streets is a well choreographed and
fast paced movie that has less of the drama of the first, but a lot more of the message, 'It's not
what you have, it's what you make of what you have'.

The storyline was lacking a lot
after the first, but I found the dancing and the rawness of this film a lot better than the first.

It seems a lot less polished than the first also (Perhaps due to style of dance or new
directing), but nethertheless it's a good film.
The dance scene at the end was truly
something and much better than anything in Step Up, although the rain involved played a big part im
this.

Overall, Storyline, a lot more basic than first but dance scenes a lot better
than first (In my Opinion). The biggest compliment i can give is that straight after watching this
film, me and one of my girlfriends got up and started to dance, checking out all the hip-hop and
dance videos on youtube. Check it out and it just may inspire you!

(There are other
dance groups pieces for the street battle as extras on the disc aswell.)

Summary: "Step up 2" is less than "Step up"
Comment: Andie is on a downward slope after her mother's death, she's skipping school, staying out late, and
part of a crew - the 410 - whose subway prank ends up on the evening news. The result is an
ultimatum from her guardian: move to her aunt's place in Texas or join MSA. - And so the very street
Andie finds her way to the polished floors of MSA. What follows is: Andie is kicked out of the 410
and starts her own crew with Chase, MSA royalty.

"Step up 2" is all about being
yourself and not being afraid to dance your own dance, which is a great message. The dancing is
awesome, but there really isn't that much focus on it. The best dance sequence is a barbecue party
with salsa. The dance finale at the end is more about the rain pouring down than the dancing. Also,
it is evident that Chase is the better dancer compared to Andie.

I have to admit that
"Step up 2" doesn't meet the high standards set in "Step up". It's less in every way. Still, "Step
up 2" is a nice dance movie - the soundtrack is edgy and great.

My advice: don't
expect too much.

Louise.
