Clichéd dance movie with some fun moves.

Fletcher ably blends ballet and hip-hop, but the filming itself is often clumsy, and Tatum's relentless African American impersonation quickly wears out its welcome.
August 12, 2006
It's almost as wrong-headed as it is pre-fabricated.

The dance numbers are high octane, and the characters are likable enough to make us want to hang with them through a plot we've seen so many times before it's like movie muscle memory takes over.
August 19, 2012
Displays atypical laziness and tone-deaf direction for a feature concerning the electric boogaloo secrets of the underprivileged.

While Tatum has rough charm, Dewan is more dancer than actress.

For a movie about dancing, Step Up is pretty clumsy on its feet.

Even if the picture breaks no new ground, the verve of the actors and their fancy footwork is half the battle.

For the movie--and audiences--the good news is that both Tatum and Dewan are just enough to best the bum script. They are likeable and their dance talent is undeniable.

A lot of movies are derivative. What makes Step Up particularly dispiriting is that it has almost nothing fresh to add.
February 14, 2008
Predictable dance melodrama with little to recommend it.
August 12, 2006
Step Up may sizzle on the dance floor, but when the dancing stops, the film fizzles.
