Movie Reviews of Step Up (Widescreen Edition)

Movie Review: This way please to a step down...
Summary: 1 Stars

If meant as the "Dirty Dancing" for the 2000's, "Step up"...was actually a step down ... Where do I start? The two leads were 26 years old, playing 16 year olds... (I actually paused 15 min into the movie to consult the IMDb; had Hollywood ran out of teenagers willing to accept large sums of money for strutting their stuff on the big screen? Why go for actors who are 50% older then the characters they are pretending to be? Not even the ageless Madonna could pull off something like that convincingly; she's sensible; when she feels like a teenager, she dates one...). The music was like nails on a chalk board, the endlessly repetitive violin splitting my brain. Dancing? Please...For the most part, you could not see the moves due to the ridiculously large clothing the male lead wore...My only excitement came from waiting for him to fall and break his neck while entangled in one of his pant legs. Alas, the moment never came...
From this movie I learned nothing, I gained nothing. I felt nothing for the characters, just pity for myself for having wasted an hour and half of my life...If the point of this film was to entertain, it failed big time...

Summary of Step Up (Widescreen Edition)

Incredible dancing and awesome music fuel STEP UP, the exhilarating and inspiring movie starring Channing Tatum (SHE'S THE MAN, COACH CARTER) who sizzles as Tyler Gage, a rough and streetwise hunk with raw talent. When Tyler finds himself doing community service at a school for the performing arts, he also finds Nora, a beautiful and privileged classically trained dancer who's searching for a temporary replacement for her injured dance partner. Spying Tyler's smooth moves, Nora decides to take a chance on him. But as they begin training, tension builds, tempers flare and the differences in their backgrounds explode - igniting this electrifying tale about not giving up on your dreams.
Step Up happily joins the long line of movies intoxicated by sexy bodies in motion. When an overachieving dancer (Jenna Dewan, Take the Lead) at an East Coast art school loses her partner just before a big showcase, her only possible replacement is a young tough (Channing Tatum, She's the Man) doing community service as a janitor. From there, Step Up slams together a folio of cliches, from prissy-rich-girl-gets-loosened-up-by-poor-boy to hoodlum-learns-the-error-of-his-ways-through-personal-tragedy to artist-discovers-his-voice. It's set in one of those performing arts schools where the students burst into spontaneous synchronized dance at parties. But Step Up, directed by choreographer Anne Fletcher, has a relaxed kinetic momentum and enough texture to give the nonsense just a hint of realistic grit. More than anything, Step Up shows off hunky Channing Tatum. With his sleepy eyes, broad jaw, and sloping neck, Tatum looks like an Easter Island statue come to life. His acting range may be limited, but Tatum has a definite lazy charisma; even when dancing full tilt, he looks like he just woke up and is still dreaming of the night before. Step Up also features Rachel Griffiths (Six Feet Under) as the requisite tough-but-loving-authority-figure. --Bret Fetzer
