I went to one of those "silent raves" (everyone wears headphones to hear the music) and I stg all I could think about was Jaime's videos and I could not be serious about it lol
@@PM-of3fnlmaooo is this real? Silent raves? Idk why this concept is so funny to me (apart from the fact that it’s after 4am), but the only raves I remember involved a lot of body odor, JNCO’s, ecstasy, glow lights, awkward dancing, and bad music. 🤣
The movie trope where there's a moment when a group is not doing great, then a friend dies, then they all of a sudden have a boost of confidence/talent so they can win whatever...I call it the "let's do it for Shorty!" moment.
@@Katya_Lastochkahi. I don't like what it could imply about the dead friend. Were they that bad a friend that their presence negatively affected the group then their absence made everyone else feel better? Maybe it's the part where things went from bad to worse when they lost that friend so they realized they had to appreciate each other more in case they die? That last one means they didn't know who they had as a friend until that friend died.
Fun facts: This film was made in Baltimore Maryland. I was working for a large hotel at the time and we were The Host Hotel for the actors and the Production Studio for the movie Step Up. Keep in mind that no one knew who Channing Tatum was at the time. His co-star, Jenna Dewan, and him had actually met on set. Through their three months at the hotel they developed a relationship. But my main reason for posting this is that Jenna Dewan has got to be one of the nicest people I have ever dealt with in my entire life. I've worked in the hotel business for 20 years and believe me I've seen all kinds of people. I saw Karen's before there were Karen's. However I would see Jenna everyday she would always say hello to me when she was standing in the lobby waiting for her ride to the set, she would sit at my desk and we would talk, and she was so sweet and so nice and I just fell in love with her. I did not know who she was as an actress. Channing on the other hand must be a method actor because I would see him almost every day but he would come down from his room dressed exactly like his character in the movie Step Up. He'd have the sideways baseball cap, he'd have on the gray sweatpants the baggy t-shirt the headphones were always in he didn't talk to anybody he just stood in the lobby and it was weird, like I don't even know what to say, I kind of got a bad feeling about him and ever since then I never really liked to watch his movies. He ended up marrying Jenna and then they had a daughter and now they're divorced but she still as beautiful as ever and to this day when I think about my career I have fond memories of her being really one of the nicest people I've ever met.
I'm glad Jenna was so friendly, but I hope you'll spare some assumptions about people who behave like Tatum did. I'm a socially awkward, anxious person and also don't make conversation unless I have to. Unless he was rude, he didn't do anything wrong.
I love that by the time the sequels came around they were just like “Ok nobody’s here for the plot, we’ll just do really good dancing scenes” and they were right. I don’t remember the plots of ANY of the sequels.
Same, I don't think any of the sequels even had a plot. Just dance sequences with a bit of emotional character dialogue that has no weight and goes no where in between the dancing so they can still claim it as a movie.
As a dancer, the whole “I can lift flawlessly because I’m jacked” drives me insane 😂 muscles mean nothing if you don’t have technique or training. I’ve worked with several people who just try to force their partners into the air and it just makes me twitch that people think this is a thing🤪
THANK YOU!!!!!! My GOD this and the scene in Crazy, Stupid Love when Ryan Gosling’s “charming lil thing” after revealing his cHiseLeD aBs, bRo is lifting women Dirty Dancing style and doing it effortlessly in one try with a sprinting, soaking wet and drunken Emma Stone makes my eye start twitching just thinking about it
I imagine that you'd have to build up a level of trust with the person that you were lifting. I know that I'd have to really trust them, but I'm not a dancer.
“Little Gup Gup” 🥰😭 literally the cutest thing I’ve seen in years. Your bird is so polite. More polite than 99% of human beings I know. Birds are the best people.
Omg it's fate that you're reviewing this, I rewatched this movie literally a couple of nights ago and I was crying at how this grown man was supposed to be portraying a high schooler 😭
I was in secondary school when that movie came out, and we rented it for a free day movie at the end of the term. Imagine a classroom *stuffed* with 13-15 year old girls watching this cinematic masterpiece. You could practically feel the love for Channing Tatum growing as the movie went on 💅✨
I remember making every step up movie my entire personality. My addiction to dance moms didn’t help. I could not dance and I had no business wearing baggy pants and leggings under shorts
@@mamacito1795 FOR REAL THO 😂 I brought my 12 year old shameful self downstairs at 2am-so my parents wouldn’t see me-to my concrete floor and attempted a split leap to a floor spin and pose. My shins have never been the same 😂😭😂
I remember LOVING this movie as a teenager. I tried rewatching it recently and it doesn’t hold up at all. I think I fell asleep in the middle of it. That ending dance scene though is still fire.
I think the second movie is better. Tbh though, we gotta remember that these films weren't meant to be these deep, profound, life-altering cinematic masterpieces. Just some fun and an excuse for people to show off their dance moves
Fun story when Step Up 2 came out I was 13 and I went to the movies with my first boyfriend (17 yikes) and his friend. When we came out of the movies my bf acted like it was the most life changing movie he had ever seen, he turned up some 2000s rap and said “I JUST WANA DANCE” and was krumping in the driver seat while driving. He pulled over into the Walmart parking lot, turned the music up really loud and him and his friend who had probably never danced in their lives started trying to dance like in the movie. He was a real winner, he ended up buying a tattoo machine and tattooed some of the worse tattoos you could ever see. Like the type of tattoos you would see on a list article “top 10 worst tattoos” like he did a Fox motocross logo on his neck with a gun on the other side and both were nearly unrecognizable. I could really go on about some really embarrassing and horrific stories relating to him 😩
Same thing happened after seeing the first fast and furious and 8 mile in the theater. After leaving the theater when Fast and Furious was over, you walked in the parking lot and all you heard was everyone revving their engines, and ppl looking to race someone else.I even saw occupants in mini vans asking ppl if they wanted to race.. Leaving the theater after 8 mile, you saw nothing but a bunch of different groups of young, white men/boys different ages (probably ages 12-25) in a cipher, each one getting their turn to free style. It was hilarious. And pathetic.
Britney Ever After is by far the worst movie you will ever see in your life. They did her so dirty. The actress didn’t look like her. Certainly didn’t act like her. Truly awful. Britney should sue.
@@iiC3QUEENxx it’s unacceptable how bad it was. It was made in 2017 and her fans were so excited, only to be extremely disappointed. Watch a review of it on RU-vid. No redeeming qualities.
There's worse, actually. The Aaliyah movie, and the Michael Jackson movie where Flex Alexander played him and they just put white paint on him and he looked like an ashy clown?
@@flyleelee5351 I’ve seen two people review Britney Ever After and both of them said that the Aaliyah movie was bad, but the Britney movie was just a tad bit worse (just by an inch). It was unspeakably bad. I literally couldn’t finish it.
Idk how i just found your channel but ive been watching your videos all week! I cant even articulate how good they are or WHY they are so good. Like theres not just one thing that you do that makes them great. I think its the effort and thought and energy you put into them, you can tell you are enjoying yourself and it shows!
All of your little edits are just pure gold. Something pops up at random and catches me off guard and the next thing you know I’m wiping tears from my eyes and my stomach hurts from laughing so dang hard 😂😂😂 Love you Jamie! You are literally the best ❤
OMG I laughed so hard at the ice ice baby parody. Embarrassingly hard. 🤣😭 And then the moment when Tyler realizes he wants to dance and you did the voice over for both characters. I was CACKLING. My partner asked if I was okay. 😂 Thanks for blessing us all with another video so soon. I appreciate you Jaime!! 💖
I am embarrassed (and somewhat proud) to admit I’ve watched all the step up movies multiple times lol. I actually never realized they were supposed to be set in _highschool_ tho. I always just thought it was a dance school, for no specified age hehe. 😅
Jaime doesn't know me but her videos are the only thing keeping me out of the mental hospital rn, so thank you for giving your all so random ppl like me have a reason to go on hahaha. I love you sooooo much!
Uuuummm sis thats alot of responsibility to put on one single individual....especially one that you supposedly like. You should re evaluate that fam. Its not right. Wishing you all the best w that though.
@@SnozBerryQueen you ever heard of dramatic effect… read that part like a meme and get back to me. Sorry you thought I was genuinely putting my entire life into a RU-vid channel lol. It’s a hyperbolic way of saying Jaime’s videos are important to me.
I miss the urban renaissance that was the 2000s. This, Coach Carter, and She’s The Man had me fantasizing about Channing Tatum for a good part of the decade LOL!
21:40 of this video literally had me crying laughing. As in pausing the video, removing my glasses, laughing out loud, tearing up...the while nine yards.....**chef kiss** perfection....give this woman an emmy
Even though I was growing up at the time these movies you review were all coming out, I was not allowed to watch them, so I appreciate how niche your collection of reviews is so that I can finally learn about these movies and pretend I have seen them when my peers reference them 👏
😂 I am so glad we got some back breaking, fart inducing, floor squeaking silent dance scenes once more 😂 my absolute favs, I would love a compilation of them all !!!
Props to you, the amount of effort you put into these to be so entertaining is outstanding. These always make me laugh, this is really your thing and I’m so happy you decided to go this way with your channel when you did.
Your work is always what makes my day better. Simply put. I get more excited when your new episodes come out then I do on any episodes on TV. I'm out in these streets spreading your name. Best wishes, just the best! 😃
Okay, massive fan of your movie reviews here, but this is by FAR, your best one yet! The humor cuts and the overall montage is hilarious! Thank you Jaime!!!!
"What is this a Def Noodles comedy show??" I was so caught off guard with that joke I choked on my beef stew, which proves how much better your comedy is compared to his. 😂😂 I would give anything to see you attend a Def comedy show. You'd kill it ❤❤ Random side note: I freakin' love your bird and his excellent manners.
The step up movie series is one of my guilty obsessions 😅 I know they are bad but the dancing was so fun to watch. Thanks for covering a classic! 💖 only movie review channel I watch. Btw I also have cute birds 😇
I feel the same way! I love dancing movies even though yeah they are kinda cringe it’s still entertaining to watch, also I can’t dance so I live vicariously through them haha
@@packnetadaija OMG YES SAME HERE!! literally have no dance skills so I love watching these types of movies. Honey was a favorite of mine too. Also have seen every step up movie!
@@vaultgirl42091 honey was such a good movie! I know Jamie roasted the heck out of that movie last year but it’s still a good movie! I love the first 2 step up movies, I don’t remember the other ones. Also I loved save the last dance too haha
Love your videos Jamie! My first kiss was during the credits of Step Up in the movie theatre. Like the movie, it was disappointing and 80% pointless. Keep being awesome, love ya!
I unironically love Step Up 🥴 If it gave you this much fodder, then I NEED to see your review of my other favorite tween dance movie Take the Lead with Antonio Banderas. Edit: Also, shocked, SHOCKED, that the requisite romantic rooftop scene wasn’t featured. 😂
The funny thing is that those spinny jumps are actually really hard to do properly, then ten minutes later he acts like he can barely do any dance moves other than popping and locking.
I know this movie has so many cringey moments and issues but man do I love it 🤣 I could also relate to wanting Jenna and Channing to stay together despite them being celebrities who will never know me haha
Jaime! You are the best youtuber at doing ads/sponsorships. I thoroughly enjoy your skits and hearing you talk about the product/service no matter what it is! Some youtubers that I really love are just so flat and boring at reading ads. I can see you continuing to get bigger and better sponsors as you grow 🥰🥰 Companies should be fighting to get you on board with them!
She is the only one I don´t skip while doing the ads and...I´m not even in the same country and can´t buy anything of that, but I would if I could!!! lol
When you are trying to do your physical therapy exercises but your can't hold a single position because you are cracking up at the latest Jaime French movie review. You are fabulous!! One of my favorite ones is still the Spice World review-- that was just chef's kiss!
I love that you are just as mature as I am and put the fart noises when they dance or bend over or anything! I absolutely love it! ❤️ also you have cavity breath (walks away) living for it!!
And here I thought this crappy day was going to sputter out like most weeknights but then a NEW JAIME FRENCH VIDEO!! Thank you Jaime for saving my week and adding joy to my long and tedious workdays.
I find myself looking forward to Jamie's movie reviews even more than my true crime go tos lately! Laughter is outstanding and you can't really do that when you're listening to a story about an entire family being murdered.... *Unless you're a psychopath* 💯
I was scrolling through my RU-vid recommended and it had so much true crime on there from when I was watching alot of that. I saw Jamie's video and it was exactly what I needed!
This was always one of my favourite movies as a kid and listen...I still have a soft spot for it😂😭 also, save the last dance is still a GREAT movie, but that might be my 9-year-old-girl bias coming through. Still though, I have to watch this review because I love you so much and your videos are my favourite thing on youtube❤
Channing Tatum, or as I call him, Chotum, is hard to take in movie length doses. Your review is 1000% the best way to get through this film and actually end up entertained. You’re awesome!
Oh Lord, you did not say Jncos! We wore the crap out of those in the 90s 🤣 It is so sad to watch this now! Jenna is cuteness personified. That whole Lip Sync Battle episode still seems like a fever dream 😳
Funny story, a friend of mine I went to cosmetology school with actually went to high school with channing tatum. She brought her yearbook one day to prove it, it was so wild 😂
I have watched almost all the tween movies you've reviewed and you give a perspective on them that I NEVER would've considered! Plus, the COMEDY!?!?! Yoooo..... it is COMEDY! I love your videos, chica!
I hope you never stop having your parrot make a cameo, because she is so goddang sweet and adorable. You guys make the best duo and make me so happy lol. The little gup gup thing really got me lol.
I actually own the entire 'Step Up' movie series on DVD and saw this in the theater; as much as much as my Channing Tatum crush used to make me biased, I can honestly say after the first watch I only ever looked at the movies for the dance scenes and skipped the "plot". It helped they put less effort into the plot with every sequel 😆
I’m glad your paytas and avocado videos brought me to your channel. Your videos get me through my morning drive and it’s nice to see someone doing something they enjoy on this website. I’m still new to your channel but I love your ads.
I’m not sure if you’ll see this comment but I really enjoy this series you do. I know creator’s don’t like to be pigeonholed into a genre, but you really excel at this. You are funny and your editing skills are great! I look forward to watching these videos you make. Keep up the good work and thank you for your content!
This made my day. I live in Florida in a relatively effected area by hurricane Ian and I had to work today at a restaurant. It was so hectic and I’m not feeling the greatest but I had enough service to watch this and I’m so thankful for everything I have.
So so many but 🎶 The circle of liiiife 🎶 had me in stitches 😂 Also, i never get sick of the squeaking shoes while people dance .. thank you so much for the laughs Jaime 😂
This review is one of your best (though I love them all)! CT needs to see this and enjoy your comedic genius along with us. The bird in the advertisement was perfection 😂🐦🙌
Your wit is so on point in this video! I love how every time you post, my daughter tells me "Mom, Jaime French posted a new video!" She loves you! Especially your vlogs. The other day I had to let her get some flamin' hot chips for our road trip...I said "oh you wanna try this bc Jaime French's Hot Cheetos song, huh?" Thanks for being a creator that both a 36 year old boomer and her 11 year old daughter can enjoy together. About to blow her mind and show her all your patreon videos. Happy Weekend!
Ok I mean I loved step up when I was a kid and this started my obsession with Channing Tatum. My heart broke when him and Jenna Dewan broke up because I thought they had good chemistry. This makes me wanna rewatch this haha
My first reaction to the title of the video was to say "Step Up makes you uncomfortable? Well YOU make me uncomfortable!" but I've never even seen a video of yours 😂 I will die for Step Up/Step Up 2
I am really going through a difficult period in my life. Your videos are the rare things that make me laugh until I can't breathe. Thank you so much for that. Thank you so so much. ❤
You have no idea...I live for these videos. No matter what kind of shitty day I've had, I can get into bed at the end of the day and watch one of your movie reviews and it's actually makes me laugh and rejuvenates me. I live for the dancing scenes where you've removed the music and added shoe and fart sounds.🤣🤣🤣
