Set Up To Street 2008 part2

Don't worry if you haven't seen the first Step Up; you won't feel lost. The dance movies these days mostly rely on the hot soundtrack and even hotter bodies flipping around. Having a coherent story is just a bonus, and while the two movies are similar in theme--kid from the streets goes to a prestigious arts academy--and the original's Channing Tatum makes a cameo to tie it all together, the two films can stand alone as they are. In this case, the kid is a 16-year-old orphan named Andie (Briana Evigan), who grew up in the same Baltimore neighborhood as Tatum's Tyler. She's a fierce dancer whose "crew" is the reigning champ in street dancing. But Andie also gets into trouble a lot and as an ultimatum from her guardian, she is forced to attend the Maryland School of the Arts or be shipped away. Soon fish-out-of-water Andie ends up meeting other MSA students who dare to be different and who want to break away from the snooty confines of the school--including resident hottie Chase (Robert Hoffman)--and so, they form their own crew to compete on the streets. In the rain, no less.
