(1 - 14) of 14 OFCS Rating: 21% Rotten Page   1   D- "Somehow Streets is even more loathsome than its predecessor...offers gaudy choreography more reminiscent of a Kenny Ortega masturbation session than awe-inspiring foot magic."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf "It's not a little obvious that the Step Up franchise means to keep a Disneyfied hand in the apparently inexorable dance movie cycle."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2/4 "Step Up didn't front, but Step Up 2 the Streets is a poseur."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez C+ "All the scenes where people aren't dancing tend to be forgettable, but the dance sequences are energetically choreographed and performed."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2.5/5 "It's another of the many dance movies that fifteen years from now may just be admired in the same vein "Krush Groove" and "Breakin'" are..."   Film Threat   Felix Vasquez Jr. D "A decided step down even from the mediocre original."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1/5 "More flare is needed to make us care about these characters who swoop, spin, and glide."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2/4 "Catnaps are an advisable way to survive some of the slow spots. Or, better yet, wait for this to be available on DVD when the fast forward button will turn Step Up 2 into something shorter and more enjoyable."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/4 "Predictable class conflicts and sanitized keeping-it-real bluster."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "Inexplicably, I liked this film more than its predecessor. Wait - let me type that again, just to let the reality sink into my own mind: I actually liked Step Up 2."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan "The story may be old, but these kids act -- and dance -- as though they are telling it for the first time."   Chicago Sun-Times   Nell Minow 1/5 "A brainless piece of product that is so utterly devoid of anything not concerned with the idea of separating 12-year-olds from their allowance that it makes the Hannah Montana infomercial/movie seem like "There Will Be Blood" by comparison"   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 2/5 "With a script cut-and-pasted from every other dance movie, this film is shockingly corny."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 5/10 "It's very hard to argue that the dancing falls short, which means that the film at least justifies its own existence."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton  (1 - 14) of 14 OFCS Rating: 21% Rotten Page   1
