STEP UP (My Movie Review)

This movie is a mixture of romantic-comedy, drama and of course lots of dancing! It's about a talented dancer but rebel, Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum), who's only dream is to one day make it out there instead of living unfullfilled for the rest of his life. In some unruly behavior, Tyler (Tatum), got stuck with a privileged ballet dancer, Nora (Jenna Dewan), who's dream lies solely on impressing the scouts at their senior showcase. Nora's (Dewan) partner got into an accident and now she's caught up in a situation of finding a new partner and rehearsing fast in time for the showcase. Tyler (Tatum) of course, because Nora (Dewan) doesn't have a choice, came to her rescue but with a twist.

The moral of the story: Everyone deserves a chance to follow their dreams but a few get only one shot.

I fell in-love with this movie because not only was the actor, Channing Tatum supperrr uberr hot hehe, but the movie didn't come out cheesy as I thought it would be. Since the storyline was quite predictable already, I thought it would just be plain and draggy and the kind of movie wherein you'll forget about it tomorrow. I was wrong. The dances attracted me so much, I wished I didn't argue with my mom when she was trying to sign me up for ballet classes when I was a kid hehe. And OMG, I didn't think Channing Tatum can dance like that, I liked him as a football stud in She's the Man with Amanda Bynes but in this movie, as a dancer slash rebel??? Liked him even more hehe.

And so you know, my dad (it was a Friday Family Movie Night btw), who usually falls asleep 10minutes after every movie starts, didn't sleep at all hehehe. By that thought, you'd want to rate this movie a 5star indeed. Cheers to dad!

It's a fun movie for the whole family. If you like an "up-beat feel good" movie just to pass the time away...then you should watch this.
