  "Step Up" is as generic and dumb as you can possibly get. It tries way too hard to be something heartfelt and original, but quite honestly, I have heard every bit of dialogue and every single plot point a million times. These actors were beginners when this film was first shot, and in the end product, it shows. Sure the dancing is great, but really, there is not even much of that. I was scratching my head most of the time out of bordem, waiting for it to end. I could not wait to see how the film ended, just to see if I could give it sympathy. By the end of the film, it pulls together a bit and there are some heartfelt moments sprinkled throughout, but that does not overshadow this poor, poor film.

  How do I end up watching these music video films? Channing Tatum is better off just being a model.

  Predictable, but an alright movie.

  The best Step Up! Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan are perfect together and the dancing scenes are incredible.

  Cast: Channing Tatum, Rachel Griffiths, Jenna Dewan, Mario, Drew Sidora, Heavy D, Damaine Radcliff, De'Shawn Washington, Jeannie Ortega Director: Anne Fletcher Summary: Sentenced to a stretch of community service at a prestigious school for the arts, streetwise troublemaker Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum) unexpectedly discovers his natural talent for dance when he pairs with one of the academy's ballerinas. Jenna Dewan, Mario, Drew Sidora, Heavy D, Damaine Radcliff, De'Shawn Washington and Rachel Griffiths co-star in leading choreographer Anne Fletcher's dance-filled directorial debut. My Thoughts: "Really good dance flick.. didn't mind watching Channing Tatum strut his stuff and break a sweat... lol.. But the dancing was hot and I liked how they mixed it all up.

  The dance at the end was awesome.

• Film C

  
  like many other dance movies but still really good and entertaining and a good storyline and awesome dance moves!

• Thomas B

  
  shallow acting + average dancing = average movie

• Alice S

  
  Pretty basic guy-from-the-wrong-side-of-the-tracks-makes-something-of-himself-through-dance story. Channing Tatum is surprisingly an awesome street dancer, but I would have to say <i>Save the Last Dance</i> is edgier and deeper with the socio-racial issues.

  More dance movie shenanigans. Same plot, same twists, same everything. A young rich girl dance student and a poor urban punk have some moves to teach each other. Both emotionally and rhythmically. The dance routines are actually well filmed and performed so in that regard it is successful. The performances are also not too bad despite the tripe they have to spew out. If you like your films basic, entertaining and challengeless then you make like this.

  i usually hate dance movies, but this one is really good

• Leigh R

  
  Nice music and the choreography was superb.

• Rachel F

  
  Good movie. Gotta love those boy meets girl flicks. This one has a good ending too.

• Roy G

  
  Alive with infectious rhythm, likeable characters, and slick dance moves

  This movie slaps any viewer over the age of 12 with cliche after cliche until it's practically become a parody of itself. Channing Tatum has absolutely zero acting ability and Jenna Dewan is a stale, one-dimensional leading lady. Even if you're just watching the movie for dancing...hell, there's not even enough of that. Just an hour and a half of trite teenage drama with some lousy music and a few hip-hop moves thrown in to live up to its shitty premise. And that kid deserved to get shot. He was an idiot.

• Sanjaya &

  
  Hmmm..Not as good as I thought before... I expect a better performances, and a better story of course... But the soundtrack is great... And their dance, really cool!!!

• Dean M

  
  Excellent hip-hop-fuelled dance tale of a defiant rebel and a privileged dancer at the modern day. I like the cool dance since <i>Save the Last Dance</i>.

• Aaron N

  
  Every ten years, one movie comes along that defines a generation...this is not that movie.

  Formulaic and cliched, Step Up is a familiar tale, yet the high-energy dances and likable characters make for a solidly entertaining film. When a street thug is sentenced to community service at an art school he gets to explore his passion for dance when one of the students finds herself in desperate need of a partner. The story's well told and has more depth than it would appear to. And the cast, led by Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan, give fair performances that work for this kind of material. But the main draw is the dance choreography, which is amazing; it uses a good mixture of modern and street dance without being corny. Some of the elements of the film don't work, but Step Up managers to deliver a fun and upbeat film.
