  Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert

  OK, OK. They're good dancers, and well-choreographed. You can see the movie for that and be charitable about the moronic plot.

  One perhaps does not expect a fully formed and cogent political platform from a "Step Up" film, but when a movie puts "Revolution" in the title and engages community action and social justice directly there should be more at the end than simply selling out to the first bidder.
