Step Up 2: The Streets

Guess what we watched today after our Ice Palace field trip? You think I would waste my time watching this crap? I do it all for the kids. Anything for them.

Ebony: "Yo, man!! Don't be disrespectin' me and my crew like dat ever again, punk!!"

Ivory: "What's with all the hostility? Stop the violence! Let's take it around the corner, merge onto the Pacific Coast Highway, take the next cutoff heading in a southeasterly direction, and after approximately 2.4 miles, LET'S TAKE IT TO THE STREETS!!"


Man, I think I've seen this movie before. It was called STOMP THE YARD.

Wait, my bad. It was actually YOU'VE GOT SERVED.

No, no. What was I thinking? The movie was BREAKIN' 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

Sorry. I was just joking. It was the movie FAME.

Damn it!! I think the movie was for real called SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER.

No. Wait a minute. It was actually on TV. The show was called SOLID GOLD.

Come again? I'm going mento. The show was SOUL TRAIN.

Okay, stop playing already. I've got it for real. Seriously, the movie was called MERRIE MONARCH.


Take the cast from REVENGE OF THE NERDS. Make sure they're attending the gifted school at FAME. They gotta be able to dance like AMERICA'S BEST DANCE CREW. Apply the theme from SAVE THE LAST DANCE. Find an empty warehouse like in every Black dance movie so they can battle. And there you have it. STEP UP 2: THE STREETS!! Yeah, booooeeeeeyyyy!!!!

Nah, seriously though, the dancing was off the hizzle fo' shizzle my nizzle!! Can't believe I'm saying this, but this dance movie was the best dance movie I've ever seen. Seriously. Even better than STRICTLY BALLROOM. A million times better!

If dancing is your thing, this definitely is the movie for you. If cheesy plot lines tickle your fancy, buy this DVD now.

Watching all these misfit dancers was like watching Duke Aiona at McCain's campaign rally. It was like watching a Black guy ice skate. (Actually, I kinda witnessed that today for the first time ever on our Hui Popolo bonding field trip.) It was like watching a Hawaiian work. It was like watching an Asian guy in porn.

Nah, these guys could really dance. They just looked like they wouldn't be able to. Remember Kevin Bacon in THE AIR UP THERE? Yup, those days are over. Now, they got actors who can act AND physically perform their moves. I was pretty impressed. Like I'm f@ckin' MC Hammer. What the hell do I know?

Awesome dance movie. Pretty good movie overall. I give this movie two lapdances from the Pussycat Dolls...
