Critics Consensus

This trite teen romance has too little plot and not enough dancing.

It's the usual case of great dancing, bad acting and even worse dialogue in this very guilty pleasure for fans of the genre.

This is a cliche-ridden movie by people to whom formula is clearly mother's milk.

Debut director Anne Fletcher fails to put a new spin on umpteen romantic hoofers.

It's so bad, it's kinda good. The dance scenes were solid but the overall story was very mid.

Step Up 3D is a great showcase for some of today's best dance talents and one of the best examples of 3D technology adding to a film's impact.

Actually just seen Step Up for the first. Changing Tatum is great in this movie and Jenna Dewan is spectacular. Great dancing and great music. Loved how they mixed gritty street life with artsy trained dancing. I'm surprised to see only a 19% RT rating. The critics are wrong, what was they thinking.

Amazing film. The clash of two different people from two different upbringings and social circumstances sets this film up for 5 stars from the beginning. The choices made by the two main characters and those that surround them reflect modern day issues and this is mirrored in their dance theoughout. Overall one of the best films i saw as a kid and it still is to this day!

Not bad for what it is. Even if the plot is a bit cheesy, Tatum and Dewan have good chemistry onscreen

This movie was...okay. The romance is cute, kind of. The dancing and music is nice. But ultimately, this movie is predictable. And on top of that, there are many scenes that drastically, and unnecessarily, change the movie. Just when you think the movie might not be completely predictable, nope, one scene is thrown in to make sure the movie follows its cliche plot. And towards the end another drastic scene was unnecessary thrown in. I would not watch Step Up again and I do not recommend it.
