Review of Step Up 2: The Streets (2008) by James R — 27 Nov 2010
Just before I get into this review I would like to point out that these films aren't noticed for their amazing story. (The story is bad).
The film steps up from the first film (Step Up), and delivers what you might expect to the audience, heavy dance scenes and of course rain. The story is just... well, as much as I love the Step Up dances the story is just not there at all. When Andi (Evigan) and Chase (Hoffman) kiss at the end of the film I switched it off because there was NO love or emotions between the two, Brianna Evigan seemed to constantly want the mood to be bad and everything seemed to never go right for her because she made it that way. As soon as she came on screen I disliked her acting.
This is also where the infamous Moose (Adam G. Sevani) come's from, roughly 30 minutes in he does his stair dance and then the final dance.
The movie in my opinion was too dark, the total apposite of Step Up 3D, the films story is just too weak to support the characters, no matter how hard they try to hit home they just can't seem to reach.
The infamous final dance scene is good though and unfortunately that's where it stops, after the final dance Moose kisses Sophie and Andi kisses Chase and well... that was it.
This movie without the non-dancing scenes would have made the movie only 35 minutes long (roughly). I'm a fan of Jon Chu and Moose (Adam Sevani) but the films story is just too weak.
