Last night, I went and saw the opening night of Step Up 2: The Streets in a packed (and rowdy!) theater on the Common. My feelings on this movie can best be expressed by the following YouTube comment:
loveisinmysoul: it was the fukin sickest movies with the best moves ive ever fkn seen im my whole fkn life!!!! omg i luv step up 2!!!!
xoxoxoxo
Omg indeed! This is hands down the sickest dance movie I've ever seen. Just check out this mash-up of some of the best parts:
Unlike the original Step Up (which blows in comparison--Sorry, Meredith), this movie has no pretense of trying to fill itself with too much bothersome plot. It keeps the conflicts simple (street girl v. fancy school, fancy school crew v. street crew), and the dialogue actually has its snappy-witty moments when the characters are being flirty flirty, though it does briefly dip into the dare-to-dream movie vault of stock sentimentality: "When my mother died of cancer, it felt like the floor fell out from under me and I've been running ever since..." is the prelude to a near-kiss. Yeah, dead moms really get me hot too.
Dead moms and geeky 15 year-olds who can bust moves like little white Michael Jacksons (check out Adam Sevani as 'Moose' at 1:19 in the video)... Love love love.
It just makes me want to bust out my apple bottom jeans and dance!
So, who wants in on my crew?
