Step Up

Every second chance begins with a first step.
Everyone deserves a chance to follow their dreams, but some people only get one shot. Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum) is a rebel from the wrong side of Baltimore¹s tracks and the only thing that stands between him and an unfulfilled life are his dreams of one day making it out of there. Nora (Jenna Dewan) is a privileged ballet dancer attending Baltimore¹s ultra-elite Maryland School of the Arts — and the only thing standing in the way of her obviously brilliant future is finding a great dance partner for her senior showcase. When trouble with the law lands Tyler with a community service gig at Maryland School of the Arts, he arrives as an angry outsider, until his skills as a gifted street dancer draw Nora¹s attention. Now, as sparks fly between them, both on and off stage, Tyler realizes he has just one performance to prove that he can step up to a life far larger than he ever imagined.

i watched this last sunday after i have downloaded it from my μtorrent. initially, Step Up 2 ung gusto kong panoorin, but i had no idea about this first step up kaya hindi ko (cguro) maiintindihan ung 2nd kung hindi ko papanoorin ung first. And since i haven’t finish downloading the 2nd, i’d rather watch the first.. so basically, no expectations. Mom also watched it just to kill time and for the aircon. bwahahahaha! (we needed to watch a movie for momi to allow me switch on the aircon.)
the film was totally inspiring, set in a situation where all of us probably experienced at one point in our lives. the feeling of going nowhere, giving up, no hope. also, the situation where everything is just perfect, going well as planned .. then something just comes up and destroys everything. two vivid situations presented in the film that made it all the more interesting. it’s one movie where you really feel the characters, you see yourself in them. it’s not superfluous, nor over-acted. its something where you can learn from, or just remember some lessons that you’ve known way before – all about life. it reminds us that nothing is impossible, as long as your heart is with that one thing you’re dreaming of.
and .. it makes you want to learn to dance
the actors, geez. channing was hot. so was jenna. they were really good dancers that i cant help but envy. i was kinda pissed at first with the kind of friends that tyler had in his neighborhood .. i had to remind myself that it was all part of his character. LOL. hahahahaha!
awww.. i missed my dancing days!
go see it, it’s worth it .. feel good, and you really get entertained
