In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Step Up 3D is blissfully oblivious to modern woke trends, offering good old-fashioned dance fun with no lectures. If only more movies followed this straightforward, non-woke approach!

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Step Up 3D sticks closely to the classic dance movie formula. The focus is on talent and teamwork rather than shoehorning identity politics or ideology into the story. Characters are diverse, but their ethnicity and background are not the foundation of the plot or their competence.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't go out of its way to subvert traditional values or mock things like family or masculinity. It's a harmless celebration of dance, with inspiration and friendship at the core, not an ideological battleground.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little-to-no ideological preaching. Worldviews outside urban dance culture are mostly absent, but that's just a consequence of the setting, not forced exclusion or villainization of alternatives.
