Step Up/YMMV


 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: When it was announced Alyson Stoner was returning for the third movie
 * Cliche Storm: 3D's plot is basically every low-budged sports/competition convention thrown in, complete with the two rival team's lead dancers being former friends that had a falling out.
 * Complete Monster: PJ the gangster who . He's never really fleshed out but he probably is.
 * Ear Worm
 * Sequelitis: Averted, Step Up 2: The Streets was better recived by critics for having a better plot and better dancing than the first movie. Step Up 3D, despite having a more Troperiffic plot, was even more well recieved.
 * They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: 3D features the return of Camille Gage, Tyler's sister. However this is never mentioned at all. They could have had her feel like she's in his shadow because he's a famous dancer. They also could have had some sort of flashback featuring the start of her friendship Moose or even started the movie with it before doing a flashforward
 * Unfortunate Implications: The Asian friends in Step Up 3D gave our heroes a home when they had nowhere to go, trained with them, and heck danced with them to victory on the big night, the VERY definition of Fire Forged Friends. And yet the writers do not seem to consider them important enough to have even ONE allowed to turn up in the final heartwarming ending celebration; this ungrateful vile crap is allowed to fly in spite of the fact that the director himself is an Asian.
 * Half of the premise of the third film: racially diverse group of dancers. Rich white kid shows up, starts solving all of their problems.
