Synopsis:

From IMDb: “A pair of star-crossed dancers in New York find themselves at the center of a bitter rivalry between their brothers’ underground dance clubs.”

Poster: C / C+ / C- / C- / C

Review: What’s most disturbing (and disappointing) about the first, second and fourth designs is that they take the exact same cutouts of the film’s two stars and re-size and reposition them to try and make something new. The backgrounds and color schemes are new in each, but it doesn’t make them look any less cheap. The third design is chaotic and visually overbearing, looking more like an attempt to remind the audience of the Step Up franchise rather than to distinguish itself. The fifth design is completely different from the others, thus an improvement, but is far too dark and undistinguished to be of much good.

Trailer: C

Review: Like the Step Up films and other similar movies, the intriguing aspect is the choreography. Street dancing has been plenty creative and each film focuses on trying to be more creative than the last. That creativity is what makes the films engaging. What doesn’t is the hokey relationship elements that are pasted together with untalented thespians hoping the audience will be distracted by the dancing and not turned off by the plot.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
