Step Up 2 the Streets

Standard, well-made, urban dance movie.

Will dance triumph over adversity? Will love between two attractive vacuous actors conquer all?

It suffers from a real lack of charisma, still the dance bits are good.

I can't quite recommend it, but... for a certain demographic why not.

Sinks in the all too familiar potholes called bad acting and a storyline we've seen far too many times before.

Throughout the picture, the choreography is absolutely stunning. The performers attack their routines with an aggression and spirit that cannot be denied.

Competent and too innocent in its own way to strongly dislike, but there also isn't much to push it above mediocrity. There's more substance in cotton candy.

Too bad much crap is needed to be waded through to get to the rather terrifically done finale.
