October 31, 2011fb729949618More like a step down from the first. Not to say this was a bad film, but it just lacked the substance and character of the first.

June 23, 2011I love all of the Step Ups although this is my least favourite out of all of them. Still a very good film though! I like Robert Hoffman.

August 10, 2010fb733768972I enjoyed this 100 times more than the first film! The dance moves are jaw dropping, the drama is actually interesting this time around, and the characters are much more likable! I enjoyed Step Up 2: the streets very much!

August 4, 2010Better than the original, with more of a relaistic view of the so-called "streets".

July 27, 2010really bad and boring until the last 20-30 minutes where all the really amazing dancing was in the competition and it was awesome and overall the movie was okay not bad but not great. C+

December 1, 2009The narrative was incredibly predictable and unoriginal. The acting was ok - dodgy in some parts. I did, however, enjoy some of the dance moves. Some of them were really bad and cheesy and quite uncomfortable to watch but a small percentage were actually quite good.

Promises to hit all the urban-dance hallmarks with sledgehammer intensity. Full Review

Kyle Smith, New York Post
For all of its ragin' dance moves and rebellious talk, is high-spirited and harmless. An MC at one dance contest declares, "This ain't 'High School Musical'!" Oh, but it is. Full Review

Let's wait for a movie where they do get it all right: story, acting and dancing. It'll happen, just not this time. Full Review

The story may be old, but these kids act -- and dance -- as though they are telling it for the first time. Full Review

Matt Zoller Seitz, New York Times
Step Up 2 the Streets posits a universe where racial and class differences are minor obstacles to fun and pretends its clichés aren't clichés. Full Review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Dance scenes feel like a diversion, since the story, acting and dialogue are sadly lacking in originality and substance. Full Review
