Ebert and Roeper Review Step Up 2 The Streets

[KilldozerRocks]

I'll dance you any time!

[Dullfang2]

i was really shocked that i didnt like this movie. i kinda hated it. i just didnt like how it didnt show how tough dancing really is. in reality, the good guys wouldnt have been able to compete in the final battle, cause it takes a way longer time to learn breakdance and stuff than you can learn in a training montage.

[CelestialKazex3]

why even put high school musical in the same sentence as step up 2? the acting was bad but the dancing was insane. Its a dancing movie... no shocker there.

[YeahYeahKoolAid]

[prlad85]

This movie and all other movies like it totally sucked. This was part of a wave of really shitty movies that came back in the beginning of '08.

[Headbanger142]

Oh if AO Scott sucks up to other movies like this as the new host, I don't know...

[Tacom4ster]

He's still miles away better then the Bens, he doesnt smile so much

[Headbanger142]

That's the point, criticism has to be taken seriously. If he likes the movie and would recommend it, he'd say it and be happy. If he hated it and gave thu...I mean "SKIP IT" then he wouldn't be up happy.

[magikamerika]

I really don't understand why I watched this movie...the first one was painful to watch, this one was torture, and I shit you not...I read that they are making a third..."Step Up 3D" THAT IS NOT A JOKE!!! WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO????

[htnguyen32]

It's a movie about dancing, what did you expect? lol. If you didn't like the first movie, why did you watch the second one? Don't even watch the third one if you're such a hater. At least the movie is better than High School Musical.

[BurtAndEarny]

why all the hate they said they liked it and don't act like they are too old to watch it every hip hop dancer i know hated this movie

[si4x]

they cant talk about a movie like this they dont even know how it is to be in a dance crew or even just dance so they should only stop talking and start talking about boring movies that would difenetly describes who they are.

thank you and dont waste your time to reply i dont care bout what people could say.

[esteban57764]

that has absolutely nothing to do with how good or bad the movie is. you dumb piece of shit

[dillonaireee]

you can tell these guys are stuck in the nintys lmao. they have no idea what the actual movie portrayed. these dancers do things that the majority of america couldnt do. so your gonna bag on them for making a mediocre movie? theres a difference between dance crew and crew. and wtf is up with old guys rating the videos. how about someone who knows whats going on today.

[feyd8194]

these guys are a couple of douche bags. either be gay or be a man. the in-between is douche baggery

[1Mafioso4]

i hate movies like this

[WebSlingah]

The reviewers are, unfortunately, dead on. The film itself is not good, but the dance talent of each actor is staggering.

[JTROCKAA494]

this guy's gotta b shittin me. high school musical was EDGIER than step up 2??? that is the biggest bullshit i've ever heard in my entire life. that comment is like cutting all the male choreographers' and jon m chu's balls off.

[MatthewLedZepfan]

@JTROCKAA494 it was a joke

[Lilterah]

i like SU2 this guys just a h8ter

[Y2JROCKFAN]

This is fact.

SU and SU 2 were both shit.

Sorry but it is true.

Well the original was at least a bit better than the second (which sucked).

Only the dancing was good (for both of em) but i am gonna go against what most

ignorant people think.

These movie's are only meant for children from 7 to 15.

[CitizenKANE2277]

Finally, someone with atleast some sense. This film was awful. All of these gullible people will pay money to see garbage like this. You can just tell from the title of the film, that it was destined to suck

[thewordthatpierces]

Actually, I thought it was going to suck, but I have to agree that the energy in this film (as well as the dancing) made this film very fun and entertaining and i my opinion worth watching multiple times. And I am 24yrs. Then again, I am also a dancer. :p

God Bless ~Amy

[Y2JROCKFAN]

Well it depends on taste, but both films were train wrecks, you also need a good attention span to watch great films (The Godfather 1 and 2, Citizen KAne, Casablanca, Once Upon A Time In America etc)

[LuisGiR806]

well i loved the whole movie everything about it was great

H.S.M. cant touch step up with a 12 foot pole

Step Up 2 for Lyfe ^____^

[haiyah6]

i think roeper has every rights to cut off the guy.. this movie is terrible.. this is what sets roger ebert and siskel off is that most of the time they judge a film squarely on the merits of filmmaking and not by audience.. this movie sucked

[arseguitarse]

the girl said titties in the movie too

[JTROCKAA494]

so?

[yurplestummies]

is it just me or does this guy continuously cut off the guy with glasses. i would have said,"hey fuck hole! SHUT THE HELL UP!"

[AshieeGG]

i love this movie.

I think it really inspires alot of people to dance.

Its a sick movie!

The Acting,Dancing Even the soundtrack is 100

% Good.

Jon im really glad you got Robert Hoffman and Adam Sevani to do this movie. They are my favourite.

pEACE!

[vissionary]

I liked the acting. I AM recommending it to dance lovers. It was fun, which is what it was meant to be. And yea it did remind me of footloose lol.

[daruae]

>.> all i liked was the dances

the acting 100% sucked

but adam was a bit pro ,, the actress SUCKS OMG

i could realy slap her if she starts going ooh am the next Angi

l2actho!!

[Puki78]

Acting sucked big time, but the dance scenes are fantastic

[KristenAliciaC25]

high school musical sucked! they didnt even have a musical! it was just an audidtion...

[Gunnz108]

lol they tellin da truth i watched this movie its koo

[DevilzAngel1000]

I HATE THEIR OPINION

[ThickSaucebaby]

honestly step up 2 was better than the first and the first was good anyone who knows dancing will see how good they danced they were wonderful!

[marjoe77]

I don't agree with them

I thought the acting was good. The Dance was amazing. "Andie" was hot and played a good role. it may not have been the greatest movie in the world but it is worth it.

[skoobykrap]

First of all, they didn't compare it to HSM... it was a line from the film. Secondly, to the rest of you assholes out there. No need to hate on both of em, he did give it a positive review, afterall

[dannybammy]

Lets all brake dance to hip'pop

[Raizen408]

From the last time i checked, Step Up 2 wasnt a musical....why would these stiff fkers compare it to hsm? wouldnt it be better to compare it to other dance films.

[PhreakStep]

If you want see the real breakdancing I suggest you to go on some bboy jam.

Headspins, flips and all are good if you do them on music but if you are not doing on the music then your whack and you are not a bboy but a gymnast.

[pvminicomet]

No comment about the acting or anything. But didn't think this movie was that exciting or worth watching. SU2 only uses "hottest" music right now just to gain familiarity but the dancing incorporated with that music is I guesss...crap!?

Come on, some part the dance wasn't even with the beat. The worse dance scene they did was that final in the rain, just all over the place.

This movie also stereotype dance artist going to dance school as robots. Not all, I think, are like that.

[dovebar76]

I hate these uptight critics. HSM was bullshit compared to Step Up 2 The Streets! Those prick have no clue what the fuck they're talking about! This movie was HOT! That's why I never listen to movie critics. The same movie they pan as shit, turns out to be THE SHIT! And The Streets was that movie. I will be buying this movie. Fuck "critics!" Fuckin High School Musical? Idiots!

[sexybrooklyn012]

what the hell this is soo gay!! haha i love step up 2!! andi have watched 25 times no lie!! and i am about to go watch again!!! haha:]]

[SuperStephx]

WHAT A BUNCH OF JELOUS FAT TWATS they have no idea what they're talking about whats the point in them even reviewing the movie..

[dozer11]

Love the dancing in this movie! What else is there to this movie anyway? Jon M. Chu knows how to display dancing properly in a non-MTV format. That's what's wrong with MTV and their vids. Too many cuts and bad angles. Mr. Chu doesn't mess up our view of the dancing at all. "Andie" is hot, and everyone in the cast can dance their butts off!

Can't agree with these two though about how you can't see the dancing... they just don't know dance!

[junnyerr]

BEST DANCE MOVIE !EVER! (yet =])

Just finished watching it

[zipper2k8]

testman shut your hole

[ChaoticLazyness94]

FUCKING FAGS!!!! -COUGH- Step Up 2: The Streets is AWESOME!!!!!! ^_^ HSM is sucks!!!! lol i WATCH this MOVIE every single time i can. lol

[dannybammy]

What streets? the films to poppie

[testman2]

They did NOT say they liked HSM better. They did NOT claim it was "edgier".

They said SU2 was a good movie. It was worth seeing, and it was, a wholesome, quality, movie to just enjoy.

They may have joked that HSM was "more edgey", but only because of it's more drama based storyline. Where SU2 was just what it was, a quality dance movie.

Christ, you all need to chill.

Oh noes! I can't pay attention and i THINK someone attacked my favoritest movie! I better post shit!

Idiots...

[shinigami015]

amen!

[drmatt001]

step up 1&2 and high school musical are both for 10 year olds...your all losers!

[YumiSprouse]

They have no idea what they are talking about. Step Up 2 was funny and had amazing dancers!! How was HSM better!?! If they want to they can stop reviewing and go watch HSM again! But seriously, i saw the movie on its release date in theaters. Watching movies online isn't as good because you don't get that same intense surround affect. So ppl should actually rent the dvd before judging it. Btw, the jabbas werent the stars of the movie!! But their is supposed to be an outtake of them in the movie.

[punchingbag55]

hahahahahahahaha!!! they said high school musical was edgy??? hahahahahahaha!

[THESAYTAYproject]

Seriously, we're actually comparing high school musical in a debate on edge and quality movie? I will be vloging about this, though its fairly dated and a little irrelevant, I dont care.

he also said pulcky.

maybe its time to find new movie critics.

[happy1fosho]

wtf??

He doesn't know anything about dancing ;b

[mackdaddy2069]

This movie has little room to get better but i could really. But the door has to open to the dance eara the rap eara ya eaded and allowed beaking poping lock and krumping into mainstream if you **ck*** cared about dance this movie is the s**t!

[CruzAzul2011]

i didnt really like this movie. didnt live up to my expectations. thank god i saw it for free. i only watched because the jabbawockeez was in it and im sorry but their part in the movie dissapointed me. im sorry jabba fas but i speak the truth. im 15 so dont call me old.

[RobertHoffmanFan]

Absolutely!!!This movie is fresh and sexy! He's old,balding and pathetic! He's on my "Most hated persons" list.

[RobertHoffmanFan]

Comme on!This old,balding idiot have no clue about dancing!Ok the acting it's a little bit amateur,but it's a dance movie.The best dance movie ever!!!Young,hot,awsome! This is my favourite movie!!!

[LEX08ROMAN]

plus this dance movies have the same crappy storyline a big dance competition wow really original.

[LEX08ROMAN]

if you wanna see a good dance movie is saturday night fever it a great storyline and awesome music.not some gymnastic bs that is called dancing don't be discourage cause is from the 70's.

[leeannnum25]

The guy at 50 sec..I think He play in the movie``High Shcool Musical?!(I Think )

[punchme123]

those guys are G A Y

[grimymander]

SOMEONE KICK THE FUCK OUT OF THIS guys rich ass i meen fuck

[photism]

2nerds...a bit brokebackish too...

[mrbunnie]

HSM EDGY LOL

[gucinka]

asshole

[ZexMarquis]

HSM is edgier? WTF? doesn't matter if he's old, is he blind or something?

[burntbiscuitgp]

HSM sucks ass and plus they dont have better dancers than STEP UP 2!!!

[vyres339]

WTF!!! this straight out BS!!!!!!!!

[akamissrubytuesday]

I didn't know it was possible to give a good review... in spite of what they were really saying.... during the undertones-

Which is of course- Pure Envy! :)

Neither one of those guys could dance their way out of a paper bag! hahahahaha

[freedomsquaredinit]

HSM is about as edgey as a spherical sponge

[flystar26]

yeah, it really pissed me off when he said that.

[RobertHoffmanFan]

The High Scool Musical it's about a bunch of stuck up young celebritys,who think they are the hottest stars from now on,but they NOT! I hate them!

Step up 2 4life!

[wondererx]

oh my god. i wish they would just stop talking at the same time! and high school musical is not edgy in any sense, esp. when compared to step up 2

[naomayy]

old men...

[RobertHoffmanFan]

old balding man

[Itrguy001]

WTF TYPE OF BS IS THAT

[xMichaleaxwasxherex]

they don't have a single idea wat they r talking about! Step up 2 was the shit!Man they r stupid!

[yellowSKYgirlX3]

That guy was so funny. He was so stiff talking!! Hes like so proper talking about such a hang low chill movie! 10 or 11 year old kids! It's PG 13! These guys are so funny!! THIS MOVIE WAS PHENONMINAL SO WHO CARES WHAT THE 2ND GUY SAID!!

[TheGreaterHater1]

This ain't a fair rating coming from a bunch of critics that no nothing about change in style, music, and genre. Its like having a country artist rate heavy metal music, Its not gonna work! Ebert and Roeper get 2 thumbs down

[ihaveabellybutton2]

i definately agree with you.

[RobertHoffmanFan]

Absolutely!This grandpa A.O. Scott criticise the best dance movie,with the best soundtrack? He's a geek!!!He have no idea about what's hot!

[criscross1106]

They dumb as hell

[matchu5691]

Fucking Fag!

[7maxdang28]

what the fuck? Why would do they let old farts judge movies that are WAAAY out of their time.

the movie was badass and the reason probably why they didnt "understand what the dancers were doing" was because they're too old to get it.

YEEEAAAAAA. let a guy wearing a SUIT and glasses judge a hip hop movie. SMART MOVE

[misscake14]

Yea like 7maxdang28 said let some guys in a suit tell u about a hip hop movie i really dont like what dey were say'n about this movie & they were say'n it was 2 clean cut...i woud LOVE 2 see them in a movie dance'n like those kids were i & i bet u they CNT...& dnt judge sumth'n unless u can do wat they do or u cando it betta cuz ur jus gunna look like an a** jus like these guys did!

[majetix]

This guy should don a pair of airs and start bopping 2 sme beats coz he dnt know sheeittt suit and tie go review some bullish movie that no 1 will go see at least get sme1 hu knws their ish..

[icedude11214]

this just proves that you should never judge a critic ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY WEARS SUITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TehBannHammer]

fcking white fags, this is why i hate tv shows in america becuase it they make fun of good movies FCK YOU ROCHARD ROEPER IM GONNA go to ur house and kill you!!

[lexan1551naxel]

then just go watch sound of music! haha...

[greekfreak555]

there not critics there faggs

this movie rocked enough said

[msnwadtc]

go to hell!!!!!!

[notcool2spam]

smh@this dude

[judodude18]

frikin hate that lameass who gave the review... He has no idea about the culture and style that this movie bring, so he shouldn't even try. someone with a little knowledge within the area could do a more pro review

[IMSOCHAOTIC]

It was an amazing Movie.

they're tough critics.

atleast they like it tho.

i LOVE it. great job.

[michellegabrielmusic]

is the girl in SU2 Karen from the Office?

[STICKERSLOLD]

fuck dese foos haha fuckin faggots

[joansbrothersluver]

WTF? They like hating on it but then all "It won me over..." ???

[3ST2000]

i dont like him

[CryWOOF]

These guys are bull$#!7.

They don't know what the hell their saying.

[dlee4she]

I HATE RICHARD ROEPER!!!!!!!!!!

[NicholePXx3]

Well I dont think its a bad movie or it needs to be just for teens they didint want like this acting thriller they wanted a dance movie not a sappey love story. & for someone to hate a type of dance that they cant even do is stupid . & high school musical is for like 5 year olds and younger and above that dude you need to grow up

[quitejaded]

But Nichole, come on. You CAN have a dance movie that doesn't have a crappy storyline or writing!

[NicholePXx3]

Well when you become a writer call me.

[orangeslice228]

"plucky youngsters"? is this guy actually serious?

[railstay]

he said it sarcastically.

[Lizilla82]

There's nothing like two nerdy white guys attempting to review a hip hop film.

[thikya]

its quite refreshing to have movies like these from time to time... its real, its simple, but has intense appeal... love it!

[LovedAdamSince92]

Besides Who Is This Person To Say What's What...It's The Veiwers Choice

"Ooh He Hot The Key!"

That Is The Best Line Of The Movie :)

[vpecto3]

is he crazy? High school musical is edgier? damn... thats a wack comment!!! STEP UP two is ok and yeah given no movie is perfect and the demographic i for all ages hence the script and acting... DOI!!!

[pukers808]

High School musical edgier than Step Up 2?? Wtf are they smoking??

[zipper2k8]

2 fannies , fail

[deyonce]

FLASHDANCE! FOOTLOOSE! thats ridiculus

[knyghtmirror]

I think the real interesting thing is that because there is a lack of a venue to show music videos this is why movies like this are going to keep getting made. For those who love them you can stay hungry, for those that hate them its best to skip. I am pretty sure not having seen the film and can predict everything that happens.

[JBuTterFly3itSuMo]

Baaaaka x.x'

[AnGeLWiNgS93]

Step up 2 was the best movie i've watched so far this year.... & that whoever his name is, is so wrong! this movie rocks! because the dancing rules... i bet he cant even salsa... =.="

[islensk]

omg now i'm pisst! that man, whoever he is, apparently doesn't know anything about dancing! he said some of those "kids" were talented, all of the crews that appear in this movie are awesome! this is the best dance movie ever made, and it's not just some cheap movie to take your kids to, just think about all the work behind this, the choreographing and the dance rehearsals, that man is just stupid and ridiculous..

[belledellamorte]

I've seen this movie 3 times already! I love it! I have the soundtrack and my sisters and I will point out which part of the movie the songs come up.

[LovedAdamSince92]

I've seen the movie 18 times...

i paid for every ticket...

i hate high school musical...

HATE IT...

[pdelolmo]

a.o. scott is wrong. the best line was "oooh! he got the key!"

[iloveBTV]

Step Up 2 was much better, you did great Jon!
