STEP UP 3
4 out of 5 stars

HOLY SHIT, THESE KIDS CAN DANCE!!!

LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this!!! words can not express how well the choreography is done, how well these dancers can move, and plus the main guy luke is really really hott... ;)

if you aren’t familiar with the step up series, basically the premise of the movie is that a guy and a girl ALWAYS fall in love. in this movie, you get double the love because you got two main characters: luke (head biatch in charge of the dance crew called the pirates) and moose (you probably remember him from step up 2!) while moose is touring the NYU campus as an incoming freshman, he encounters members of the house of samurai, and inadvertently challenges them to a battle. he kicks ass, luke gets the footage on his video cam, and invites him back to his place. so, it’s revealed that luke operates a dance club in a brooklyn warehouse, and allows his dance crew to board/rehearse in the upstairs loft area. it’s too bad that he’s behind on the mortgage...like 6 months, and his place will be up for public auction if they don’t come up with the $. luckily for them, the world jam’s grand prize is $100K large, so luke and his crew have their eyes on the prize... of course, it wouldn’t be step up without some good ol’ fashion rivalry! the house of samurai want to claim the glory at the world jam too, so what else is left to do? I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DANCE BATTLE, BIATCH! :P

extra star for AMAZING DANCING!!! the final dance battle is just beyond ridic with all those lights, and this is just a high energy/super fun movie. the acting is of course awful, but the true talent is in those dance moves, baby... the characters are actually kind of fun esp. moose who’s this goofy, skinny jewish kid who can move. they really did an awesome job casting some fab dancers including when i freaked out when HARRY SHUM JR. reprised his role as cable! GO, HARRY... GO, HARRY... :P
