    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.

    If we don’t stop these public dance-offs here and now, before too long we’re going to have an entire generation of kids seeking salvation as back-up dancers for Justin Timberlake

    Let's wait for a movie where they do get it all right: story, acting and dancing. It'll happen, just not this time.

Overall a decent sequel and a worthy addition to the series.… Full Review »

Despite the good dancers, I still thought the choreography could have been better.… Full Review »
