the actor can not act . all dialoague be plague with bad accent and loss of character . channing tatum never move his lip or change his facial expression . ever . the story be nothing new at all . some kid from the street get involve in a professional world of dance and it turn his life around . that couple with the whole incident involve the little kid be take straight from you get serve and save the last dance ( i be not say that those movie be any good either and but that be to say that this movie bring nothing new to the table ) . and the dancing . there be only 3 dance sequence in the entire movie and 2 of them be take straight from the commercial . perhaps i be be overly critical because i be a dancer and but maybe thats what need to be hear . channing tatum be not by any mean a b boy . his little solo in the parking lot have little style and technique and or any wow factor and all of which be part of a street dancer criterion . all of the jazz and ballet in the movie have nothing to offer except bad technique and a few acceptable twirl and but nothing more . the grande finale leave me think . ok and now theyre gon na get serious all the way through the end when i realize it never be go to happen . i will admit that im sure it be difficult to make a good dance movie and but step up be no exception to the rule . you get serve and with the exception of it inconsistency with street dance culture at least have the dance aspect . save the last dance be garbage and and so be just about any musical from the past 10 year ( although i be impressed with moulin rouge ) . look to center stage for ballet and look to beat street for hip hop .
