"Step Up" Steals a Few Moves
It's a story we've heard a hundred times: Boy and girl hate each other but are forced to work together and eventually fall in love. The new film "Step Up" takes that premise and adds in a little dance flavor, forming the love child of "Save the Last Dance," "The Cutting Edge," and "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights."
Hotties Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan do their best Sean Patrick Thomas and Julia Stiles imitations as a hip-hop and ballet dancer, respectively, who are forced to be partners and learn each other's styles.
At the film's premiere director Anne Fletcher explained her vision of the film saying, "Music makes us move. We have the spirit of dance within us. I just wanted to cover an array of dance and how similar they are and how different they are. When they merge together, what does that look like?"
Though we're pretty sure we've seen what it looks like already, "Step Up" moves into theaters this Friday
