What Parents Need to Know
About Step Up
Parents need to know that this movie contains references to gang violence, racial unrest, and tragedies resulting from a life of poverty. Social classes are prevalent (the "privileged" and the "poor"), and lies and betrayal are part of the storyline. Tyler comes from a low-income foster home, and his life is all about parties, thugs, and criminal behavior, including a run-in with a chop-shop owner. There's some profanity and sexual innuendo.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what Tyler could have done differently in his life, rather than resorting to crime. How could Tyler have found different friends? How do you avoid "going along with the crowd" when you know they're in the wrong? How do the adults in Tyler's life affect him? Could they have done anything differently to help him? Is the school administrator right in showing her disapproval when he wants to dance? And what about Nora's mother? Is she right to want Nora to focus on college applications, or should she nurture her daughter's love of dance?

This is my favorite movie!
I loved this movie. I have seen it four times and like it even more every time I see it. It's a movie about working for what you want and living through hard times. However there is a part where weapons are involved and there is some language. I think the worst language is in the opening song though. If your kid can't handle death very well I don't recomend this movie. Even though only one person dies, it is a harsh way to die and there is blood. I don't know if this review will help but it ends up pretty good.

I agree with ...
The person below me and Brown Eyes. The movie wasn't anywhere near my taste in movies, but the soundtrack (that didn't even make it on to the soundtrack, mind you) was fantastic. Shiloh Monaco is an amazing performer (I've checked him out on MySpace.com and he's even better when you get to hear more than ten seconds of his stuff.) Not to mention he's extremely attractive. You should check him out at www.myspace.com/shiloh.

GREAT ! ! ! !
This was a very great movie because the way it is made is so real. But what brought it down was the violance.

must see for music and dancing
the dancing was great but the male dancer was a little cocky. I preferred the music. I wou;d like to hear more from shiloh monaco. Very unusaul looking but his sound is all his own. He doesn't scream like most of your singers. He is a fresh breath of air.

Movie Fantastic!
this movie was great and i can't believe that so many people say that its "violent" and bad for young crowds, which is wrong. My 3 year olf cousin could see it and it would be fine. It shoudl be rated PG.
