Daily affirmations of a word mercenary
Somehow I managed to go see Step Up 2 The Streets twice this weekend, once in Seattle and once in New York. That equates to about 10% of my weekend spent whooping at movie screens and mentally stealing moves for next week’s dance class.
If you’re a fan of middling plot street dancing flicks about the triumph of the human spirit, you should totally go see it. I loved the hell out of it despite the fact that I was twice as old as anyone in the theater — I been dancing since you kids were in diapers! *creak creak*. Also, I would bet money that the male lead spent some years in Florida dancing to cheezy-ass breaks in the mid-90s. I recognize the regional style. Aging ravers, reprazent!
Trivia: The lead in the flick is played by the real-life daughter of Joey from My Two Dads.
