Over the past week, ads for the film “Step Up” have been shown on television and many of them have made me cringe.

I mean, sure. Maybe the movie will be great. I don’t know.

Maybe the movie isn’t what it looks like. I don’t know.

Maybe I haven’t seen this movie before (Back in April… although I’m pretty sure Antonio Benderas was in it). I don’t know.

But someone please tell Hollywood that DANCING is NOT what my generation is about!

Here is what the movie trailer stated: “Every ten years, a film comes along that defines a generation. “Step Up” is that movie!”

Following this statement the screen flashed words such as “Brilliant,” “Exhilarating,” “Sexy” as though these were reviews for the movie.

But it wasn’t as though it said “Peter Travers of ‘Rolling Stones’ calls this movie “Exhilarating.”

Nope… they were just words. Not connected with any name… not connected to any newspaper…the words didn’t even have quotation marks around them!

This made me VERY angry.

Is this how adults see us? DO people actually think that this movie “Defines our generation?” Let me know what you think!

It looks exhilarating, doesn't it?
