Tyler, a hip-hop-bad-boy, Vanilla-Ice-wannabe from "the wrong side of the tracks" beats the shit out of a rich-kid arts school, so has to do community service as janitor amongst the pretty dancers and singers. And of course, falls for Nora, the prettiest and bestest of them all. They are thrown together out of happenstance to practice for Nora's final project (no one else can do it but the janitor??), and dramatic, frolicking romance ensues.
Yes.
I swear. It does indeed ensue.
Complete with loads and loads of dancing.
Although, somewhat enjoyable, in that "oh God, it hurts" kind of way. A movie for the S&M freak in all of us!
But, really.. what you want to hear is the real dirt! I figured I'd do something a little different this time 'round, and make J. (boyfriend extraordinaire/scathing critic) help me out a little. For what follows, I cannot be held accountable.

How Jamie Saw It:
In a toss up for worst movie in the entire universe, it’s a neck-in-neck race between Step Up and the movie I made in my grade 11 comp. tech. class (it was mostly just a film of our janitor, Mel, sweeping around the urinals).
I’m proud to say that I officially made the second worst movie in the universe.
It’s the age old tale of the poor guy from the wrong side of the tracks who through a twist of fate (and some sweet dance moves), meets and bags the rich girl from the right side of the tracks. Too bad the bloody train didn’t hit them.
I’ve actually ruined the plot for you though… well, not ruined, per say; it wasn’t really that much to begin with. Actually, I don’t even think it had a plot. It had characters, I know that. And they could dance, I know that too. And it had Brenda Chenowith from Six Feet Under, that part I recall. As an aside, she has ginormous boobies.
Sadly, this is how I will remember Step Up.
