The dance numbers are high octane, and the characters are likable enough to make us want to hang with them through a plot we've seen so many times before it's like movie muscle memory takes over.
February 14, 2008
Predictable dance melodrama with little to recommend it.
September 14, 2007
For the movie--and audiences--the good news is that both Tatum and Dewan are just enough to best the bum script. They are likeable and their dance talent is undeniable.

Even if the picture breaks no new ground, the verve of the actors and their fancy footwork is half the battle.

Step Up may sizzle on the dance floor, but when the dancing stops, the film fizzles.

Displays atypical laziness and tone-deaf direction for a feature concerning the electric boogaloo secrets of the underprivileged.

A lot of movies are derivative. What makes Step Up particularly dispiriting is that it has almost nothing fresh to add.

Clichéd dance movie with some fun moves.
August 12, 2006
For a movie about dancing, Step Up is pretty clumsy on its feet.

It's almost as wrong-headed as it is pre-fabricated.

While Tatum has rough charm, Dewan is more dancer than actress.
