Incredible dancing and awesome music fuel STEP UP, the exhilarating and inspiring movie starring Channing Tatum (SHE'S THE MAN, COACH CARTER) who sizzles as Tyler Gage, a rough and streetwise hunk with raw talent. When Tyler finds himself doing community service at a school for the performing arts, he also finds Nora, a beautiful and privileged classically trained dancer who's searching for a temporary replacement for her injured dance partner. Spying Tyler's smooth moves, Nora decides to take a chance on him. But as they begin training, tension builds, tempers flare and the differences in their backgrounds explode - igniting this electrifying tale about not giving up on your dreams.Bonus FeaturesDeleted Scenes And BloopersMySpace.com Dance Contest Videos"Making The Moves" FeaturetteCiara Featuring Chamillionaire Music Video "Get Up"Sean Paul Featuring Keyshia Cole Music Video "(When You Gonna) Give It Up To Me"Samantha Jade Music Video "Step Up"Audio Commentary with Channing Tatum, Jenna Dewan And Director/Choreographer Anne FletcherSystem Requirements:Running Time: 103 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE

"What matters is the dance, magnificently captured in a series of vibrant set pieces, each routine somehow more slick, imaginative and technically perfect than the last." 01/01/2007 p.78 Ultimate DVD
3 stars out of 5 -- "[With] some impressive dance sequences and a catchy soundtrack..." 03/01/2007 p.95 Variety 8 of 10
Deftly scrambling elements from "Fame" and "Save the Last Dance," "Step Up" impresses as crowd-pleasing, teen-skewing fare with possible crossover appeal. Shrewdly positioned as the last blast of summer 2006, Touchstone presentation offers a contemporary take on the warhorse plot about attractive opposites who bring out the best in each other as improbably complementary dance partners...Making her debut as a feature helmer, choreographer Anne Fletcher ("Bring It On") neatly balances grit and gloss while rendering Baltimore locales in a style best described as romanticized urban realism. - Joe Leydon
San Francisco Chronicle 6 of 10
The dreary teen drama "Step Up" appears to be cobbled together from bits and pieces of successful movies. Like "Fame," it features a high school for the performing arts populated by kinetic kids with big hopes and dreams. The halls are alive with the sound of music...Tatum and Dewan show some chemistry on the dance floor, but it dissipates during a romantic rendezvous on a pier. They're laughably stiff during Nora and Tyler's first big kiss, and a shot of the sun conveniently setting between their lips does nothing to make the moment magical. - Ruthe Stein
