    Chase Collins: They just hatin' on you cause you dope.

    Finally, almost two years later, Step Up 2 finally made it to the top of my Netflix que. The hilarity that me and my former roommate experienced from the trailer alone was about to be expanded upon. I managed to find a jok...( read more)e audio commentary from one of the podcasts I listen to, so I watched this film, with my Ipod synched up with the commentary. All this being said, myself, along with the guys joking around on the commentary actually agree that there are redeeming qualities to be found in this film.

    Despite having a clichéd and poorly acted story, the main element of the film works - The Dancing. Scenes are choreographed well, with long, wide shots, opposed to fancy cutting and incomprehensible editing. It showcases the talents of the performers fairly well. Add to that a pretty decent hip-hop dance soundtrack and a lot of eye candy scattered throughout, and this is certainly a film that I wouldn't have minded too terribly if I were dragged to it on a date, without the comfort of a jokey audio commentary.

    Moose: Yeah, we're her crew! We're getting ready to battle at the streets.
    Felicia: What street? Sesame Street?

    A little cheesy, but fun to watch all the dance moves.

    Oh the things you will consider watching when you are bored!
    OK...Admittedly I did kind of get a kick out of the first Step Up. I like dance movies, but every single one is the same old story. If you've seen Step Up, Stomp The Yard, Center Stage, Breakin', or Save The Last Dance...( read more) you have seen this film. It wasn't original or attention grabbing at all. Same Hollywood crap, different day.
    Step Up 2 gets half a star because some of the dance moves in the film were pretty cool, and half a star because Briana Evigan is really pretty. But as for an entertaining story or good acting, this movie had none.

    Just watched this the other day, i would watch this again no doubt. Everything fits together really well as a film should be. Its magic, entertaining, really good !

    Not impressed....

    If you think for one minute that I chose to watch this crap on my own accord then I will punch you square in the jaw.

    I went to a lady friend's house to chill and have some drinks... I get there and this crap was on. I should've just left....

    The only messag...( read more)e I got from this movie is the reassurance that black people have rhythm.

    Not as good as the first, although the dancing is fantastic. The storyline and film quality suffers.

Kyle Smith, New York Post

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. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today

Dance scenes feel like a diversion, since the story, acting and dialogue are sadly lacking in originality and substance. full review

    The first one was good, though it didn't have much group dancing unlike the second one. I like the first one a lot, but I still like the second one more.
    Everyone keeps sayiing that Briana and Robert should be together. lol. Maybe they should, maybe they shouldn't.
