Movie Reviews of Step Up (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Surprised
Summary: 5 Stars
Cons: I refused to see this movie because I was (and still am) so tired of Hollywood snubbing hip-hop. The art of breaking and a lot of the dance that the main male character does was started in New York with Blacks and Latinos, and not just guys. In every hip-hop movie, there has been a White female lead and this one was no different. I knew the movie had something to do with ballet as well, but from the preview, it looked like another "Save the Last Dance." I was thrilled when "Idlewild" came out, and finally some sistas got to show off what they could do on the hip-hop dance floors as well. I refused to go see this movie off principle alone. Even "Breakin" and "Breakin 2" had a white female lead. It annoys me a great deal that even in this day and time, Hollywood is still so far behind and seems to take great joy in inaccuracy just to reach a broader audience. When hip-hop was created, it reached a massive audience without trying to appeal to everybody, so why is it that there has NEVER been a major hip-hop movie with a black female lead? Sistas break too! When I walk into a hip-hop club, I don't see a bunch of ballerinas poplocking and suddenly learning a dance that takes years to perfect, and that's exactly where I thought this movie was headed.
Pros: I saw a much longer preview for this movie this past weekend and knew that I was going to finally give in and rent it. I thought the main male character was so cute, especially in "Coach Carter," and from the looks of it, he could GET IT on the dance floor and he had charisma. Every single time he clenched his jaw or stared into the eyes of the female co-star, I was shouting at the t.v. "Kiss her! Please kiss her!"
I love musicals (be it hip-hop to jazz to blues to pop), so I'd already been curious about the movie, but the principle kept me from seeing it. I rented it last night and squealed with delight. Those two were such a cute couple, he was an excellent hip-hop dancer (not that 1-2-3 step type of deal either--he dances from the heart), I liked the end performance, and I love the way there was a twist to his background. Now I understand why he was the character that he was, and it's believeable. Even better, unlike "Save the Last Dance," both of these star characters REALLY can dance. I can't stand to see a musical where it looks like the dancers are counting steps. Dancing is something you have to feel in your soul. It's wild because I'm begging people to get me this movie for Christmas. Now how's that for a twist?
Cons (once seeing the movie): Mario isn't a very good actor, but he sure can work a hat! Skinny wasn't a very good actor either.
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.Similar DVD Movies
