Viewing Notes

My first date ever, I took the poor, unlucky girl, Jenny, to see Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo. Partly because it was playing at a theater within walking distance of her house, and partly because I secretly really loved break dancing.

So I guess it’s no surprise that I really enjoyed Step Up 3D (for the record, didn’t watch it in 3D, obviously). Yeah, the story is pretty silly, and there’s just enough to hang the movie on. Frankly, I’m ok with that. It’s a dance movie, not a period drama. We’ll be ok on our own here.

The thing I require from dance movies more than anything else, is, you guessed it, lots of dancing. Step Up 3D delivers on that front with plenty of dance battles and practices, but also some almost-musical dance numbers that were kinda charming. In fact, those numbers made me wonder why they didn’t just go the entire musical route. A number of key plot point scenes could have easily lent themselves to musical song-and-dance interludes; in fact it probably would’ve improved the movie.

At any rate, the dancing here is fantastic and made the movie. Born from a Boombox, yo.
