Streetdance 2 3D

Review by Anthony Morris

streetdance 2

As every single dance movie has exactly the same plot, it's the little things that make a difference in these films. 

So while the basic story in this UK rival to the Step Up films is business as usual – a big streetdance contest is coming up in a few weeks and our hero has to put together a crew while combining "streetdance" itself with another form of dance to come up with a brand new style – there are a few things to keep an eye on. 

For one, our hero (Falk Hentschel) is a guy; usually dance movies have a female lead, but by having a guy they're able to have a bit more of a romance here (usually while the female lead will have some kind of boyfriend, she doesn't really need him – dance is her first love). 

Second, he puts together a "dirty dozen" style team of Europe's best dancers, which is both hilarious and done in around five minutes, which is just one example of the way this film doesn't mess around with boring talky stuff you didn’t come here to see. 

Third, the classic dance style isn't, for once, ballet but Latin, which is a nice change from the norm. 

Otherwise though, while this is enjoyable silly and refreshingly to the point, this is business as usual in a bunch of bad ways: not only does the 3D adds little, but many of the dance numbers are heavily edited, putting the focus on individual moves rather than the rhythm of the performance. 

Many of the moves are impressive, but the constant cutting and camera shifts blunts the impression of seeing someone actually dancing – which, after all, is what you have come here to see.
