The only place where this movie lost half a star was the Plot. It was a little predictable. I could tell you the whole story before I saw the movie. That doesn't make this a bad movie though. Awesome. If you haven't seen it...What's wrong with you??

Great dancing, but a terrible script with a tenuous link to part 1. The cast does an OK job but it just isn't enough.

If you enjoyed "Step Up," you will fall in love with the sequel, "Step Up 2 The Streets." There are more dancing chills and thrills than before.

Everyone did a fantastic job with the choreography.

My favorite scene was the "Rain Dance." I took great pleasure in watching the movements in the rain with the water splashing on and off their bodies.

Step Up 2 was not as much about romance like the first one. This film was more about having the courage not to be afraid of being different. Of course, they did throw a little romance in there.

  Human-spirit cliches and all, the movie accomplishes job one: It moves. It also has a choice soundtrack, spiced by the likes of Missy Elliott's "Shake Your Pom Pom" and Digital Underground's immortal "Humpty Dance."

  The wall-to-wall soundtrack naturally features plenty of today's leading hip-hop and R&B artists, including Flo Rida, T-Pain, Missy Elliott and Trey Songz.

  Rather than mixing classical and modern styles the way "Step Up" did, this hip-hop-powered sequel is all about new moves, which should keep the kids coming back after the pic's initial Valentine's Day crush.

  Directed in humongous close-up by former dancer Jon M. Chu, Step Up 2 the Streets is suavely choreographed by Jamal Sims, Nadine "Hi Hat" Ruffin and Dave Scott.

  In a sequel that features the original's Channing Tatum only in cameo, a Baltimore teen (Briana Evigan, very winning) enrolls at an arts academy, leaving her street-dancing pals behind. So far, ho hum. But when she decides to form a new crew with her classmates, Step Up 2 the Streets improves considerably -- and it doesn't skimp on cool pretzel moves.

  So when it comes to rawness, realness or any other signifier of urban authenticity, Step Up 2 The Streets doesn't measure up, especially when compared with a grittier dance flick still in theatres, the Toronto-made "How She Move."

  Scores some serious points for its dance moves but does a lousy job of remembering there's a lot more to this big old world than moving your feet.

  The current, much better Canadian movie "How She Move" has a more realistic grip on the racial politics of hip-hop-dance.

  The central romance is terminally bland, while Evigan's woozy family melodrama seems borrowed from countless superior dance movies.

  Step Up 2 is one long, clichéd exercise in predictability with a couple of vibrant dance sequences and some unintentionally hilarious bad acting.

  A sequel arrives for Valentine's Day with the unwieldy title Step Up 2 the Streets. If it performs as well, watch for "Step Up 3: the Sprained Ankle."

  Much of the average viewer's time in the theater will be spent waiting somewhat impatiently for the high-energy climax. Catnaps are an advisable way to survive some of the slow spots.

  An earnest sequel to the 2006 cornball musical drama "Step Up," mixing new characters into the original's setting.
