What it's about:
When the Maryland School of the Arts (MSA) goes to Paris for an international dance competition, one of the dancers, Moose, misses his flight back to Baltimore. He soon makes friends with an American away from home and a beautiful French sophisticate. They introduce Moose to the red-hot Parisian underground dance scene, and, before long, he is wowing the local dancers with his unique moves as they prepare for an underground dance competition. With time running out before the big event and their routine stolen by a rival crew, Moose turns to his loyal MSA crew in Baltimore for help.
Can Moose, the MSA crew and the French crew pull together a new dance number at the last minute? And, will it be good enough to beat the world’s best street dancers?
What the critics thought:
"It’s all about the moves, and I count the film’s moronic perkiness as a plus: it could be the dumbest thing all year that I have to admit enjoying."
- Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph
"The dance scenes are inventive and pop out in all kinds of strange places."
- Jennie Punter, Globe and Mail
"The main reason to see Step Up 3D is for the high-energy dancing and innovative camerawork, and on those points it delivers."
- Ylan Q. Mui, Washington Post
"Rhythmically, athletically and energetically, Step Up 3D does not disappoint."
- Claudia Puig, USA Today
