The story of Step Up is simple and predictable. I just like one particular scene when the leading actor and actress dance over the harbor. Their dancing with the beautiful sunset and the sultry music, is truly impressive. If you like this movie, you may like Center Stage: Turn it Up too. There are resemblances between them. Overall, they are the kind of movies that are good to see when you're bored on a lazy day.

Okay, so now I get what all the fuss is over Channing Tatum. Holy yum! He is perfect for this role, in a predictable, fairly dumb, yet also utterly addictive movie.Channing plays Tyler Gage, a troublemaker and street dancer living with his foster parents, who after vandalizing an elite performing arts school gets the opportunity of a lifetime in the form of community service (janitorial duties) at the school. He then gets "discovered" dancing in the parking lot by ballet dancer Nora Clark who just happens to need a new partner and some fresh choreography. In turn this could gain Tyler the chance to earn a scholarship.The story here isn't super original but the dance sequences (and music) is really good, and watching Channing move in those loose fitting jeans is all kinds of good. The romance and side stories also sucked me right in. Ultimately I enjoyed this way more than I expected to. 03.13

This movie is lovable in every way. It has a combination of romance, comedy, and even tragedy. The movie has many talented dancers with a number of cool-looking dances of every style. These dances include hip hop, ballet, and a combination of both. The way the dances are filmed is intriguing because they make sure to capture each important move and make it extremely enjoyable to watch. Each dance scene is just as amazing as the last and it makes you want to get up and move along with it. Not to mention, Channing Tatum is the overly attractive male lead and is a wonderful dancer and actor. You'l feel a whole range of emotions throughout this movie and will be satisfied at the end.

I got this on DVD a few years back as I never seen it before and I wanted to check it out as I got it for a bargain in a DVD store.The story is about a guy named Ty who is doing community service as he and his friends break into a school in NYC and he takes their place doing community service. While his there he meets a girl(Channig Tatum's real life wife Jenna Dewan) who's partner broke his ankle for a dance completion that she was going to do and together her and Ty decide to compete in the dance completion.The story was great,cool RnB/hip hop music,chemistry between real life couple Jenna & Channing was cute and the ending was had to follow but still it was a great movie for anyone who loves music and dancing.From the director that brought you The Proposal,27 Dresses and is rumored to direct a sequel to the 2007 Disney hit Enchanted (aka Anne Fletcher who does the choreography for this as well)STEP UP is a great film to watch whenever you want something that will make you wanna dance.
