"Step Up didn't front, but Step Up 2 the Streets is a poseur." - Ed Gonzalez

When I was in college there were three things I wished I could do... kick game to the ladies, win a freestyle battle, and spin on my head. I am now married so I can say I sorta achieved one of these. I am not going to try to defend my lofty score when it seems to be averaging around a 55 with all other viewers. I just really liked the music and dancing stuff (esp the rain scene). I have no clue what the storyline is. Briana Evigan is a GREAT actress to watch on mute. Shake it like a pompom!

Summary: Romantic sparks occur between two dance students from different backgrounds at the Maryland School of the Arts. Isn't that the most original story EVER?!

For a movie that's ostensibly about individual expression, it sure is content to rehash the same old hackneyed teenage-romance shit we've seen a million times. Also: I defy someone to find something more street than this white couple.

fo shizzle

Would have been a zero if it weren't for the Bhutan track jacket.

As expected, it features formulaic storytelling, laughable acting and dozens of clichés, but also spectacular and amazingly entertaining dance numbers -- oh, Briana Evigan dancing in the rain, doing all those hot moves with that great body, you know.

This is basically a kung fu movie with the kung fooey replaced by dancing. The final kung fu scene is magnificent.

Aside from its dopey title and being a follow-up to the first "Step Up" which was kind of bust that happened to be a hit, "Step Up 2" does everything the last one did just a little bit better. The movie is all about the dancing, and it's big, loud, fast-moving and flat out cool for the audience its intended for. Taken on those terms it does exactly what it's supposed to and makes for an entertaining film. And no it's not great storytelling or great filmmaking, but I don't care.

Wer den ersten gesehn hat sollte den 2ten nicht verpassen!

better than first part.

The chick is hot as hell and the dancing in this movie is great. The acting is totally cheesy though.

My wife and I downed a bottle of wine each to endure this movie. We watched it soley to ridicule.

Seen it over and over before. Good dance scenes, no character development, couldn't get excited. Danielle Polanco is kinda hot.

You can't go into this kind of movie and expect too much in terms of storyline. The characters had some depth, but not a lot. Where this film makes it count, though, is the dance sequences (of course), which are breath-taking. Amazing combinations of choreography and music make this a good family film that will make you want to slip on your dancing shoes.

Been there, done that.

Step Up 2 the Streets was not a bad movie. The dance moves are both impressive and engaging and it runs the movie through and through making it very entertaining. So much so that it's hard to imagine that this is the sequel to the horrible original. I actually would recommend this movie and would watch it again.
