Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I have watched a lot of Dance movies, but this one is still my favorite!!! I have to admit that Robert Hofmann is a huge reason why I love this movie so much... he is charming, a brilliant dancer and pretty hot. ;) But that doesn't make it a good movie. Brianna Evigan Plays the female lead role and she is doing an amazing Job too. The whole cast is so cool...Adam G. Sevani... just wow, Mari Koda as Kido...Harry Shum jr. - and the list goes on and on! the dancers are so variable... The Soundtrack is also really good... "low"... I just love to Dance while writing the song title... and "is it you" is wonderful! And the best... the final Dance in the rain... haven't seen something like that! So I just can tell you - watch this movie, you will love it!!! :)

yes it's cool and hot dance moves in this film.. some dance routines that could actually leave with u goosebumps.well the female lead Briana evigan, hot as ever, has a passion for dancing.. she has one really hot bod..and those dance moves of hers keep u glued to the screen..personally she lost her mom but finds solace with her dancing.she is a member of the group 410.. a group who are known for their dare devil dance routines on the streets..Old friend channing tatum (who plays a cameo) wins a dance battle with her one day in a street club and as a forefeit for losing she joins the school of arts..she has a buddy in school Adam sevani who takes her through the tour in school.. and puts a smile on her face every once in a while.they she bumps into Robert Hoffman who starts getting attracted to her..moving into the school of arts does not go well with 410..she is kicked out of the group..a dejected Briana then starts a group of her own with Robert joining in.. and some odd guys from the school who are at their best in certain dance moves.. Adam too has some cool dance moves that go unnoticed initially..the new group start practicing for the main street event..all groups are geared up for it and ensure they are at their best..well the final battle between 410 and the group is the best to watch out for.. the last 15 minutes of the film were the best.. dance moves that sizzling hot!!!well if u are fan of music and dance.. then this a movie u will definitely like.. story wise it was not that great..and the cast is not box office stars.. but overall they did a decent job..i liked Briana..she really kept me glued to my seat..

Saddled with a screenplay that wouldn't earn a passing grade in a Cinema 101 course, "Step Up 2 the Streets" is an urban fairy tale about an orphaned crew dancer (Briana Evigan) from the 'hood who is accepted into the Maryland School of the Arts. But can she find a home with the assortment of geeks, preppies and classically-trained arty types who attend the school? And can she succeed as a student without turning her back on her "homies" from the old neighborhood? Or will she be forced to form her own crew from dancers at the school to compete with the Big Boys out on the streets? You can write the script yourself, but the key selling-point of this sequel to "Step Up" - sort of a mash-up of "Fame," "Footloose" and "School of Rock" - is clearly not the storytelling but the dancing. And in that respect it delivers the goods. So ignore the predictable plotting, the tinny dialogue, the corny inspirational speeches, the wafer-thin characters, the obligatory montage sequences and the amateurish acting, and simply revel in the moves, street-dance or otherwise, that permeate the film. It's not much in the way of compensation, I know, but at least it's better than nothing.

'Step Up 2: The Streets' follows a typical storyline of an 'underdog' striving to make it and in the end overcomes all obstacles and succeeds. The dialogues are passable, mostly the typical lines. But, what makes it so entertaining is the incredible dance sequences, amazingly choreographed and superbly performed by the actors/dancers. The film is full of energy and excitement. Break dancing (well, dancing in general) is something that has always intrigued me so the film kept me engaged throughout. The acting is adequate. Briana Evigan is a talented dancer and not a bad actress either. Her other cast members dance well too. The soundtrack boosts of adrenaline guiding and giving voice to the dance moves. In spite of the done to death storyline, I enjoyed this one. Anyone interested in dance should watch this.
