Rating:

StreetDance 2 has ineptness that’s hard to ignore, but easy to laugh at. This clumsily acted and shot urban dance 3D movie pretends to take itself seriously with various plot points instead of simply showcasing star Sofia Boutella in action.

The story is right out of the 80’s – a sort of a sequel to the 2010 movie, the film stars Falk Hentschel as streetdancer Ash who after being beaten in a dance contest embarks on a mission to form the ultimate badass dance troupe to beat the villainous current champions at the next competition. Along with his buddy Eddie (George Sampson) Ash finds in Europe the streetdancers he wants, the eloquently named Lil Steph, Deydey, Betty Style, Lilou and Kite. He also spots Eva (Sofia Boutella), a Salsa dancer who might be the big ticket to win the contest.
