Critic Reviews

Jennie Punter, Globe and Mail
So slapped together it feels less like a movie than an extended montage...
Bruce Demara, Toronto Star
If you're hoping for intricate plotting, suspense or even nominal character development, StreetDance 2 is unlikely to waltz away with your heart.
Louise Keller, Urban Cinefile
When the provocative rhythms of Latin fuse with funky street-dancing, the result is sexy, visceral and exciting. Sofia Boutella is a sensation; watching her dance is sure to drive young men to distraction.
Liz Braun, Jam! Movies
Energetic dance routines interrupted now and then by unlikely dialogue and wooden acting: Welcome to StreetDance 2.
Shaun Munro, What Culture
Like almost all dance films, Streetdance 2 has failed to find extremely talented dancers who are also even remotely credible actors.
Eddie Harrison, The List
All the sentiments about 'being all you can be' fall somewhat flat against the cynically commercial feel of StreetDance 2's enterprise, which credits the audience with one brain-cell each.
, Scotsman
It's cornier than a field full of maize, of course, but its lack of scrappy charm renders it so tedious...
Philip French, Observer [UK]
The 3D is moderately imaginative...
Lisa Giles-Keddie, Real.com
As a piece of catchy pop culture, the StreetDance franchise has a natural buzz - just don't expect much more than awesome moves for your money.
Jason Best, Movie Talk
The story is even flimsier than before, but the dancing is even more electrifying... The vibrant choreography fuses hip-hop hustle and Latin sensuality and the climactic dance number is so cool it raises goosebumps.
Alex Zane, Sun Online
If streetdance is your thing, this will go down a treat.
Mark Adams, Daily Mirror [UK]
An eye-popping and vibrant coming together of super-sexy salsa and spectacular, stylish street dance makes for a fun and entertaining bit of 3D cinema.
Christopher Tookey, Daily Mail [UK]
Directors Max Giwa and Dania Pasquini use too much flashy editing, which detracts from the dancing. The final showdown is particularly disappointing.
Alan Jones, Radio Times
In this worthy successor, it's once again the dancing that counts, and this sure-fire crowd-pleaser delivers sensational high-energy routines to some great pop hits.
Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]
Streetdance 2 has brash energy; it does not neglect to do what it says on the tin and the lack of realism is no problem.
Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph
A new emphasis on Latin dance means the choreography is often stomach-flutteringly seductive, but it's hard not to regret the loss of the first film's uniquely British flavour.
Cleaver Patterson, Little White Lies
There are hidden charms a-plenty.
Graham Young, Birmingham Post
You'll realise you're the one who is going to be tangoed.
