Nathan Rabin AV Club Who needs competent acting and writing when there are so many shiny, pretty things flying right at you? Rated: C Aug 23, 2010 Full Review Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) This, the latest variation on the "follow your dream" dance fantasy, draws an ever sharper line between tip-top street dance and bottom-of-the-class dialogue and acting. Rated: 1/5 Aug 23, 2010 Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) It's all about the moves, and I count the film's moronic perkiness as a plus: it could be the dumbest thing all year that I have to admit enjoying. Rated: 3/5 Aug 12, 2010 Full Review Andrea Hubert NME (New Musical Express) A choreographical misstep, perhaps? Rated: 2.5/5 May 19, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Sure to please already existing fans. Rated: 2.0/4.0 Sep 24, 2020 Full Review Allen Almachar The MacGuffin For those that go into it only for the dancing, they will get more than enough to fill their appetites.

Christian A This movie is very cringe. The outfits are terrible, the human connections are terrible. The acting is terrible. The dancing is worse than the other step ups. This is the worst step up movie. The first step up received 21% rotten tomatoes and this movie received 47%. This movie has high school musical vibes. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/02/25 Full Review Emilliano Jr S Not so catchy dance moves Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/29/23 Full Review Ze P O melhor dos Step Up's🔥 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/28/23 Full Review steve d The return of Stoner and the addition of Vinson almost made it work. The plot is still bad and the straight street dance focus since part 2 continues to not work for me. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Lose your time when you watch Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I can't believe the rating of this masterpiece.
