My first question was watching this film: Who is Andie. How many years have passed. To be honest, none of the dance moves were all that great. What I am trying to say is: this movie did not focus on the parts that it should have focused on. What happened to the other people they were living with. The story line never told me what the relationship was between her and the leader.
Tyler shows up in one scene, but it still does not tell me, what happened to him. Why did he care who she was hanging out with. As I remember Andie, and Tyler were not the only people living with the foster parents. I guess that must've been it. Apparently Andie became a street dancer with the four one O crew.
Realistically, it did not tell me in the movie itself. Five minutes of genuinely good dancing and 1+ hours of no real relationships between the characters. I also found it strange that originally when Andie formed her new crew, they were BAD at dancing, and after 2 miraculous practices (that's what the movie showed) they became AMAZING. I for one was bothered by the fact it had NO story line or real plot, because other than that, what did we really have. Was he her ex- boyfriend. What happened to his girlfriend. The rest just wasn't really that good. Now onto the next part: where were the original teachers from MSA.
I will be part of the limited few who probably say that this movie just wasn't really good. When was the group formed. Generally, throughout the movie, too many questions were left unanswered for me and I failed to see the relationship between this movie and Step Up. Like building relationships between characters or showing that these dancers practiced day and night to become good. The original principal. Is it a bad movie. I did remember that she was the adopted sister of Tyler in the first movie. No, I have seen worse, was it worth getting on DVD.
That's where my question started. These were left unanswered. The ending 5 minutes in the rain where they dance was where I could say, good movie. Probably not, because this is for me one of those watch once movies unless I want to learn a few dance moves.
It is a good movie mostly about a troubled teen getting back on the right track with her life. All she needed was someone to believe in her. I would recommend this film to parents with teenagers. The dancing in the film keeps it interesting and fun.
My opinion was that this movie was definitely better than the first. The dance scenes were awesome. The story line was ok but if you are thinking of buying this than it should be just to see the dance scenes.
The "story" is a little weak and has been done a million times in other movies, but the dancing in this is fantastic, and Robert Hoffman is EXTREMELY charming. Adam Sevani (Moose) is a great surprise. The final dance scene is well worth watching the movie for, unique and immensely entertaining. It's not going to win Oscars but you will be entertained and probably want to watch it again just for the amazing dancing.
I bought this movie after watching it over and over on Netflix. I realized that, if I was watching it that many times, and I wanted to skip certain scenes, that I might as well just get the DVD and make it easier on myself. I bought it, and was even more excited once I saw the special features.
