Step Up 2: The Streets

Rated PG13 for teen sexuality

Like "Save the Last Dance" we're introduced to Andie who's mom died when she was a kid. Before she died she told Andie to be true to herself. Dancing was something that she used to be into with her mom, so she joined a street crew named the 4-1-0 to dance like the dancers her and mom used to watch back in the day on the streets. After a prank her crew pulls in a city subway, her foster parent (mom's best friend) gets fed up, as the news declares dancing to be dangerous (oh noes!) and threatens to ship her off to Texas to live with her aunt. As her last chance to change, Andie gets into the Maryland School of the Arts, but being a good student hinders her time with crew. Whatever will she do when they turn on her? Can she still compete and win The Streets competition?

Some of the dance scenes were kind of cool to watch - mainly the big dance off competition at the end and the subway prank they do at the very beginning - it reminded me of the Happenings/Fluxes movements that artists did in the 70s where they knew what they were doing, but the audience had no clue that they were part of the performance.

The rest of the movie... totally cliche. A typical high school teenybopper film.
