Step Up

I like dance movies. They have a sense of timeless enjoyment about them without cluttering up your space with any of the debatable ideological points. You don't really care about WHAT they are saying, as long as they are coherent with good bits of dancing. A story arc cannot be more predictable than in a dance movie, still it manages to entertain you. Step Up was all of this and what more, there were some really cliched, yet important facets of teenage life brought to one's attention without being too preachy. I enjoyed the movie, except for one logical flaw or just a huge bit of stuck-up-ness on the part of the story-tellers. This girl, Nora, takes Tyler for her dance partner as a REPLACEMENT for the REHEARSALS, but goes on to encourage hopes of him using that showcase performance as his audition. She goes to bite down her exboyfriend when he screws his best friend to get ahead with his career. When she turns around and does the same thing to Tyler, by saying that "he doesn't understand" after having the original guy back in his position, it kinda comes unstuck for me. We get really pissed with the kid Tyler when he decides to call it quits the first time but he puts in effort to make it happen the second time. But when Nora fucks things up with Tyler, and calls him back ONLY WHEN ANDREW CANNOT DANCE ANYMORE, WHY IN FRICKENS SHOULD THIS KID GO BACK AND APOLOGIZE AT THE END OF THE MOVIE??!?!?! Please, anyone, gimme a clue about this whole weird scenario. This infuriates me enough to wanna bang that girl's head through a door over and over again, particluarly for the oh-so-fake moment where she FORGIVES him?!?! Maybe, you know what? Such a LOSER doesn't deserve any better.
