I love dance movies. There are quite a few dance movies (along with musical adaptations) lately, I bet it has more or less something to do with raving reality show Dancing with the Star. Great show to follow every week and dance movies, I sure am glad.
Step up is a movie about Tyler, an underprivileged white kid who lives in Baltimore’s Hamden with his foster parents and doesn’t have any hope for his future, and Nora, a dancer whose senior showcase partner broke his leg. But we don’t really care about the story, do we? It’s just a feel-good movie you can relax, laugh and enjoy the music and dancing.
It’s not a perfect movie whatsoever. It’s cliche, but it’s a pretty and enjoyable cliche. And it’s too fairy-tale like. But they don’t really matter, cuz it’s brilliant!
ps. Century theatre in Mountain View is hidden and magnificent.
