Sean Murphy I entered the cinema with some in-trepidation before watching this movie, popcorn at the ready and coca cola in hand i slowly sank into my ill-fitting cramp seat. Once the movie started i was awe inspired from start until the closing credits. Sean played by a homosexual dancer was moving like vanilla ice on water, his kick style dancing would of made even the hardcore dancers of the next generation salivate, the only way to express the moves he does without you seeing this film is by saying imagine Tchaikovskys Swan Lake performed by a man in slacks, Now to the very believable storyline which involves a billionaire property dealer who wants to knock down thousands of crack houses to make way for better quality homes and a cleaner safe environment for children to play in, and the dancers persistent fight to thwart him in his tracks, and true to life after 2 hours of watching kicks and hands flapping about they succeed, plus they all become great mates and have a bit of a laugh. excellent movie that should of got an Oscar for most elaborate and traditional story line.

laurenbrigittepool I love step up so much, but this is the worst one so far. The movie starts off so good with that awesome dancing scene at the beginning and then it starts to get really boring and half the time I don't even understand what is going on in the movie. I wish that they could do something different in each Step Up movie other than just two dancers who meet and then fall in love in every movie. it just feels like the movies keep repeating itself. I could think of heaps of ideas for dancing/hip hop movies and they don't always have to have romance as half of the main story. I'm looking forward to the fifth and I know that there's going to be another romantic story in it as well. I don't understand why they can't make up another idea, too many love stories in every type of a movie will eventually just get boring.

Step Up Guy STEP UP: REVOLUTION has its share of innumerable fans, and the choreography (by Jamal Sims, Christopher Scott, Chuck Maldonado and Travis Wall) is attractive enough and inventive throughout, but really, much ado about nothing. Ryan Guzman and Kathryn McCormick (from Season 6 of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE) are earnestly appealing leads/dancers, Peter Gallagher is on board to lend credence to the proceedings, and the gorgeous production design by Carlos Menéndez matches bountiful eye candy strewn through out this semi-musical, but the story can't stand much scrutiny, especially caricatures of big business, and the supporting cast either just dance their way into the film or meander and amble throughout the several stage-pieces, literally and figuratively.However, this kind of film serves as a stepping stone for the likes of the handsome Guzman and the stunning McCormick (both of them can act as well), and for a dancer like me, the whole film is a visual feast for the (terpsichorean) senses. Aaron Zigman's edgy music and Matt Friedman/Avi Youabian's film editing spice up Scott Speer's direction, more a compilation of dancing scenes than a great movie-with-dancing-in-it in the vein of DANCE WITH ME.

steve freitag Okay, so I get it- this is a dance movie. Still, in the first 5 minutes I laughed out loud because it was just RIDICULOUS. I found myself asking one question the entire movie, "If most of these people don't have jobs, and the ones who do are waiters... how do they bankroll this whole thing?" There is almost too much evidence to validate this question, ahem, how many low riders were there in that first scene? A new costume for everyone, every flash mob? whoa, were those hundred dollar bills floating everywhere? I almost feel like its patronizing to bring all of this up. Undoubtedly all viewers found themselves asking the same question, don't lie. If you could get past that, then there are the massive plot holes, for instance, why would the mob be so mad when "Emily" and her idea single-handedly won the contest? Who the hell cares if Sean neglected to mention her family tree, my god, do you want the money or not BRO? I wonder about Sean's side kick too, why the hell was he a waiter if he was the computer-whiz kid who was so quickly dubbed "Hacker?" Seriously, you're a waiter? How bout that guy who doesn't speak... he has his own glass hauling truck, access to heavy machinery and exorbitant amounts of spray paint and can somehow manage to construct ornate "MOB" signs in what seems like only a few minutes. Pre-assembly must be a prerequisite if you're going to have that guys job. Damn he's good. I have an issue with their choice of location as well- if you were going to have a flash mob in a spot where you know there would be naysayers,and you are soooo concerned with getting arrested, then why would you choose a skyscraper, a place with only one way in and one way out that is likely full of security and other resistance? I couldn't believe that a second flash mob, thirsty for benjamins and blood didn't erupt when dollars started flying. Those Miami natives must all be doing okay for themselves if a cloud of bennies wasn't tempting. Lastly, I have NO IDEA how the dancers dressed like the police did not know it was beyond illegal to impersonate the police, especially at a press conference for a building ceremony. Lucky for them the Miami PD didn't get the memo and were not attending the ceremony- that is interesting. Also, what kind of guy works his butt off to be a billionaire only to roll over when 100 dancers happen to roll up and make your "already approved" construction project a little more of a headache. Seriously, that is bad for your street cred Mr. Anderson, but your hot rebel daughter evens things out a bit. Well played sir. To conclude, I have two words for Mr. Anderson, "Cleveland, really?" If you can stop yourself from asking a million questions during this movie then you'll notice that the dancing is pretty epic. Good luck, BRO.
