![]() All of his problems are brought upon himself due to his own self-focus. Unlike the original movie, in which DJ played a highly talented, considerate, and likable person who had integrity and showed he could learn from his selfish behavior from the past, Chance is neither talented nor likable. Some family tension with his uncle, played by Keith David (the ONLY recognizable actor in the movie, other than Columbus Short), accounts for another ho-hum and unoriginal sub-plot.Ī few words on Chance as the main character should be offered. This sub-plot doesn't add anything to the movie, due to the shallow depth of the character development and the unoriginal and typical course of events. A love triangle is portrayed between his current love interest (girlfriend?) and an old flame (who manages to throw herself at Chance while keeping it a secret from her current boyfriend). Next, we're introduced to Chance's environment at work and school. He has one trick move (a flip of some kind), and the rest of his repertoire is nothing impressive - not even by local dance club standards! Already, we're off to a bad start. One dancer is clearly superior to anyone else there - but guess what - he's not the main character! (In fact, I don't recall seeing him again after that scene.) We see the movie's main character, Chance, played by Collins Pennie, do his best stuff. So onto the sequel: it starts out promising enough, with a "battle" in the street. (How Columbus Short's character, DJ Williams, could have been tagged with the murder of Chris Brown's character is a MAJOR hole in the movie, but that's another story.) The cinematography - as far as dance movies of this type goes - was professional looking as well. We both enjoyed Columbus Short, Chris Brown, Meagan Good, and the rest of the great cast, along with the nicely choreographed and impressively skilled stepping.
