Step Up 2 the Streets scores some serious points for its dance moves but does a lousy job of remembering there's a lot more to this big old world than moving your feet.

A sequel to 2006's surprise shot-in-Baltimore hit Step Up, it posits a world (set and filmed again in Charm City) where the only thing of any importance is winning the local underground dance competition - in this case, an on-the-sly showdown between warring crews dubbed The Streets.

Step Up 2 the Streets (Walt Disney Studios) Starring Briana Evigan, Robert Hoffman. Directed by Jon Chu. Time 97 minutes. Rated PG-13 for language, some suggestive material, brief violence and obsessive suggestive dance.
