    Human-spirit cliches and all, the movie accomplishes job one: It moves. It also has a choice soundtrack, spiced by the likes of Missy Elliott’s “Shake Your Pom Pom” and Digital Underground’s immortal “Humpty Dance.”

    Scores some serious points for its dance moves but does a lousy job of remembering there's a lot more to this big old world than moving your feet.

    Unabashedly earnest, completely predictable and packed with enough high-voltage dance scenes to make any audience applaud.

    The reason for all this dull-to-offensive story stuff is, of course, the dancing, which has its moments but overall seems so calculated to impress that it loses all other reason for being.

    This was a decent sequel to the first Step Up film, despite being pretty corny. Anyone that loves a good dance flick will obviously enjoy it, but if it's not what you like then stay away. I personally liked it as I like these types of films and the dancing looks great. It lacked a little in substance but made up for in visuals I guess, and even the acting was so-so at times, but the starts did shine when they needed to. Overall a decent sequel and a worthy addition to the series.… Expand

    So far, this is my least favorite of the Step-up movies. The plot is average and the male lead had no charisma. It gets 5 points because the female lead was pretty good and the dancers of the supporting cast were very impressive (they danced much better than the leads). Despite the good dancers, I still thought the choreography could have been better.… Expand

    Why they made a sequel to a bad unsuccessful movie escapes me. Ghetto melodramatics, uninspired acting and the dancing isn't even that good. The plot is just a rehash of many previous films.… Expand
