From Amazon.co.uk
In the tradition of any number of stories where a boy from the wrong side of the tracks falls for a posh girl, Step Up follows rebellious Tyler as he's forced to work with ballet dancer Nora to create a performance that could change both of their lives forever. Naturally, as young people thrown into these sorts of situations are wont to do, they fall madly and passionately in love, overcoming all their differences.
Aimed squarely at the teenage girl market, it's not a particularly new or interesting idea, and plays out in a fairly pedestrian way. But Step Up is calculated to appeal to a certain demographic--as evidenced by the soundtrack, which features the likes of Mario, Ciara, Kelis, Chris Brown, and Sean Paul--and in that respect, it succeeds masterfully.
The fact that the film's promoters chose to set up a MySpace profile instead of an official website, and that that MySpace profile has thousands of friends all posting adoring comments by teens who've watched the movie dozens of times, confirms this. Though Step Up may not be a great work of art, as a modern updating of a classic story, with hot young things in the lead roles and plenty of exciting dancing scenes, it thoroughly achieves what it set out to do. --Sarah Dobbs
Product Description
Dance drama starring Channing Tatum as Tyler Gage, a rough street kid with raw talent. When Tyler finds himself doing community service at a school for the performing arts, he meets Nora (Jenna Dewan), a beautiful and privileged classically-trained dancer who's searching for a temporary replacement for her injured dance partner. Spying Tyler's smooth moves, Nora decides to take a chance on him. But as they begin training, tension builds, tempers flare and the differences in their backgrounds come to the fore. Will Tyler let these difficulties get in the way of his dreams?

I can sum this film up in one word. AMAZING.
When I first bought it, I watched it three times!
Ridiculous, I know. But I LOVE this film.
I love to dance and I think Channing Tatum is really hot so this film really a must for me.
Other reviews have said this film has the exact same storyline as many other dance films, but lets be honest - who watches a dance film for the storyline???
The moves are unbelieveable - who knew Channing Tatum could move so well?!
I would DEFINITELY recommend this film, it's fabulous, especially for dance lovers like myself.
Take my advice, buy this film - you won't be disappointed.

Ok...so the story isn't that fantastic, but that really isn't why you watch a film like this is it?
The dancing is fantastic, it mixes classical and street dance extremely well, leading to an exceptionally inspirational and motivating final dance.
The film uses an excellent cast of yuong dancers/actors and puts in a bit of eye candy with channing tatum.
The film is a feel good film. Don't bother watching if you are looking for a gripping story line, but if you are interested in watching amazing dancing, then this is the film for you!!!

A lot of reviews say this film is worth it for the dancing alone and I do have to agree but the story is nice aswell and the romance between the 2 leads Channing and Jenna is really sweet (real life couple too, how cute!!!).
Anyway back to the dancing, I would give anything to be able to dance like the characters in this film, my favourite part of the whole film is the club scene where its kind of girls v boys, when the film had ended I went straight back to that part to rewatch!
I havn't seen 'Step Up 2 The Streets' yet but the dancing in that is meant to be awesome aswell.

Most boring title of the series
Movie series usually worsen as the series goes along but in this case its vice versa.
Step up in my opinion is the worst of the trio from both the scenario and quality... Read more
