Sinks in the all too familiar potholes called bad acting and a storyline we've seen far too many times before.

| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 24, 2020

Throughout the picture, the choreography is absolutely stunning. The performers attack their routines with an aggression and spirit that cannot be denied.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 23, 2020

Competent and too innocent in its own way to strongly dislike, but there also isn't much to push it above mediocrity. There's more substance in cotton candy.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 24, 2012

Too bad much crap is needed to be waded through to get to the rather terrifically done finale.

To say this film (and any other dancing competition film) is formulaic is an understatement. However, formalism is entirely forgivable when you look at the marketplace.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 18, 2008

...a minor improvement over its almost unwatchable predecessor...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 1, 2008

This isn't a very good movie, but it's probably the best of it's kind.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 22, 2008

A dance romance with attitude that will fall short if you're expecting fulfillment in the story department.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 9, 2008

Standard, well-made, urban dance movie.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 28, 2008

Will dance triumph over adversity? Will love between two attractive vacuous actors conquer all?

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 25, 2008

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 24, 2008

It's not a little obvious that the Step Up franchise means to keep a Disneyfied hand in the apparently inexorable dance movie cycle.

It suffers from a real lack of charisma, still the dance bits are good.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 20, 2008

With a script cut-and-pasted from every other dance movie, this film is shockingly corny.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 20, 2008

It suffers from a real lack of charisma, still the dance bits are good.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 19, 2008

A robust addition to the street dance sub genre of movies, Step Up 2 The Streets offers plenty of exhilarating routines and a feasible storyline

| Mar 16, 2008

All of this feverish bending, twirling, twisting and snapping of the body is so infused with attitude, in fact, that it allows the film and its characters to live and breathe in ways that run counter to the movie's otherwise rhythmless script.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 9, 2008

Inexplicably, I liked this film more than its predecessor. Wait - let me type that again, just to let the reality sink into my own mind: I actually liked Step Up 2.
