Bille Woodruff once again returns as the director of this entry. Nobody returns from the previous films and from what I hear is the first one is only really referenced. Catherine Cyran isn't known for making good films either from writing or directing. Other than Cassie there isn't anybody that would draw much attention. Anyways let's see if this is even remotely interesting.
Okay a hip hop Romeo and Juliet actually sounds like a pretty interesting idea. There is a moment where Erik had a Footloose break down moment. The dances are really great. The last like twenty minutes is the play which is really what makes this sequel stand out. Sure it's a little corny at times, but it didn't bother me too much.
Oh wow I just realized that's the guy from the Footloose remake! There are a lot of interesting looking people dancing here. I like that they brought kids back into the mix like the first one. For some one who I haven't seen do anything in awhile I think Cassie holds her own as the lead. The acting really isn't too bad from these pretty unknown actors. The characters are all pretty likable. They even managed to make things have an original route.
I can honestly say this is my favorite of the series simply due to Romeo and Juliet play. The characters are likable and are decently portrayed. It's not too cliche for a genre that has done so many stories. The dancing was fresh as well. All in all it was a nice surprise.
