Critics Consensus

There's a kinetic appeal to the handsome cast and their smooth moves, but everything else about Step Up 2 the Streets is been there, danced that.

Stephen Garrett Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Jim Schembri Sydney Morning Herald Standard, well-made, urban dance movie. Rated: 3/5 Mar 28, 2008 Full Review Laura Bushell BBC.com Will dance triumph over adversity? Will love between two attractive vacuous actors conquer all? Rated: 2/5 Mar 25, 2008 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Sinks in the all too familiar potholes called bad acting and a storyline we've seen far too many times before. Rated: 2.0/4.0 Sep 24, 2020 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) Throughout the picture, the choreography is absolutely stunning. The performers attack their routines with an aggression and spirit that cannot be denied. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 23, 2020 Full Review Dustin Putman TheFilmFile.com Competent and too innocent in its own way to strongly dislike, but there also isn't much to push it above mediocrity. There's more substance in cotton candy. Rated: 2/4 Jul 24, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Blu B It's better than the first one because it's half decently made all around. It starts out ok and kind of simliar to the first but it takes a different enough path and suprisngly does so in a very cohesive way at times. It never feels like stuff just happens and does a pretty good job merging the love story and dance story together without ever being that jumpy which is kind of shocking. It builds momentum pretty well up until the end where it just feels kind of clunky and the dance is alright but just drags, is just random music numbers, and just nothing that special. The music nubers are kind of mash between rap, generic cinematic numbers and rock which kind of works at times and other times it doesn't. It defintely needed a bit more distinctiveness. Low is easily the best number. The dance numbers are better in this one and while in general this is more over the top than the first one, it just has more flash, better story structure, and better pacing. Andie is better than Tatum but very hit or miss. She's good at times and other times just kind of wooden and missing the charm. Chase isn't bad and has decent chemistry with Andie but kind of a jerk that's hard to fully like at times. The teacher is so wooden and over the top as well. If you like dance flicks, a big fan of any actors in this, or the franchise than give this a watch. It's ALMOST good but by this franchises standards it is. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Rosana B Fofinho, como todos os anteriores, muito musical e dançante (claro) como todos os outros da franquia, Channing Tatum novinho e gostosinho quando era novinho e tinha cabelo... Mas agradável se assistir na velocidade, 1,5 s´para acabar direitinho.... Para quem se amarra em dança, muito proveitoso, para quem não (como eu) apenas mais um filme da franquia com romance bonitinho… Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Bahad j It was a really good movie. Very instructive. I really liked it. I will watch it again later.Also, I really like the small details of the movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Ruby s absolutely amazing loved this movie i highly recomend it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review Yahya A i absolutely loved it when i was a teen and watching it again as an adult i still enjoyed it all. great music great dancing and witty lines. what else you need from a dance movie. such a good time Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review Steve D The original was no classic but this is far worse.
