Step Up

Plot introduced：Everyone deserves a chance to follow their dreams, but some people only get one shot. Tyler Gage is a rebel from the wrong side of Baltimore?s 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 is a privileged ballet dancer attending Baltimore?s 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 Nora?s 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.

Film review：Some of the dance moves shown off in "Step Up" are fresh and original. The film's story itself is not.

In fact, the plot is every bit as by-the-numbers and predictable as you might expect. And it keeps getting in the

way of the dancing, causing crucial stumbles and slips that this drama just can't afford.

Still, it's not the worst recent example of such material (that would be 2004's "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights"). But it's so silly that if often makes the recent, somewhat problematic "Take the Lead" look considerably better by comparison.

Up-and-comer Channing Tatum ("She's the Man") stars as Tyler Gage, a Baltimore ne'er-do-well with some pretty flashy dancing skills. Unfortunately, he's caught vandalizing an arts school. So he's sentenced to hundreds of hours of community service there, helping the custodial staff clean up the place. Tyler is instantly attracted to one of the students, Nora (Jenna Dewan). And as fate would have it, her dance partner (Tim Lacatena) is injured just weeks before they're supposed to perform their senior project. So the desperate Nora turns to Tyler for help.

You can pretty much guess where the story goes from there. Screenwriters Duane Adler and Melissa Rosenberg pad out this paper-thin material with subplots about two of Tyler's troubled friends (Damaine Radcliff and De'Shawn Washington), as well as

the romance between two of Nora's classmates (Drew Sidora and Chris Rock lookalike Mario).

But unless the camera is helping them fake it, Tatum and Dewan ("Take the Lead") do much of their characters' dancing, and both are fresh-faced and appealing.

Still, shame on choreographer-turned-filmmaker Anne Fletcher for wasting the talented Rachel Griffiths (HBO's "Six Feet Under") in a thankless supporting role as the school's administrator
