STEP UP 3D

Yeah yeah yeah. It's a girl's guilty pleasure. So why not go with a couple of girlfriends?

It's like how Brandi Carlile put it during a concert I went to. In her case, she was referring to country music.

IT'S JUST SO BAD. AND BY BAD, I MEAN GOOOOOD.

I genuinely liked the first installment of Step Up. Sure, it had a typical storyline and was pretty predictable, but it was a believable movie and had all that delicious dancing. I know of 3 movies with the same storyline now (Step Up, Save the Last Dance, Fame), but that definitely does not mean that there aren't more.

Step Up 3D, however, tries out a slightly different storyline, but as a result, has some of the worse writing ever. We, along with others in the audience, LAUGHED wholeheartedly at some of the lines. I have to commend the actors for being able to deliver what they were dealt. And the 3D and sound effects, which were supposed to enhance the dancing, were actually injustices to the movie. It made the dancing look fake, but those dancers can darn well do those moves shown in the film.

Given all that, as long as you go in expecting a bad bad movie, as in so bad it's good, you'll have a great time. Cheese, attitude, and phenomenal dancing are ingredients to an awesomely bad and fun movie!

Nice to see some familiar faces:
Legacy and Twitch from SYTYCD

Silent guy from Glee, Harry Shum Jr.


One last observation:

Am I right?
