It depends how you look at this film which will determine what you get out of it; if you view it as a harmless piece of fun then it's full of entertainment that will pass a couple of hours but if you are looking for a serious piece of cinema then you will be seriously disappointed.
First of all there is nothing original about this movie it's like Dirty Dancing meets Save the Last Dance as Andie struggles to cope after the loss of her mother who encouraged her to dance and be different.
While the story is as deep as a puddle this movie is about dancing and the dance scenes, accompanied by a up to date hip-hop soundtrack, is the movie's strong point.
The first dance sequence comes in the movie's opening scene in one of the train carriages of Baltimore's subway network. And the grand finale comes on a rain-drenched street as the MSA crew fight for the right to show The Streets what they have got.
And what this film lacks for in originality it more than makes up for in energy and enthusiasm as the cast, particularly in the dance sections of the film, give it all that they have got.
But there is a positive message in this film that it's ok t be different as the MSA crew prove that they may not have the conventional talent that their school expects of them but they are talented non the less.
Step Up 2: The Streets is released on DVD 14th July
