 There are some things that are guaranteed to be in a Step Up film - clichéd characters, bad acting, astonishingly attractive people - but the one thing audiences expect from the franchise is incredible dancing. While you’re forced to take the good with the laughably bad, Step Up 4: Miami Heat 3D delivers on the franchise’s promise as well as the film’s title (and what a title it is, read it aloud with me - Step Up 4: Miami Heat 3D). More

We follow a flash mob dance crew (unimaginatively called ‘The Mob’) seeking recognition through various social media sources. But when some big-shot businessman tries to tear down their neighbourhood, The Mob attempt to prevent his plans through the power of dance. Basically, if you were to make a Frankenstein’s monster from the premises of Tower Heist and Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo, you’d get Step Up 4. The generically derivative story borders on hilarity, but luckily the film never pretends it is Oscar material, rushing through the requisite plot elements and interrupting them nicely with what’s really important - the dance sequences.

The creativity on display here is amplified by the viral marketing angle, and at one point a sequence sees the crew break into an art exhibition and camouflage themselves as sculptures that come to life one-by-one. You never believe for a second that they’d get away with the stunts they pull, but they’re such a joy to watch that you’re bound to not care. Hide

Press Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

OK, OK. They're good dancers, and well-choreographed. You can see the movie for that and be charitable about the moronic plot. Full review.

Hollywood Reporter

More is not necessarily better, even when it comes to hot bodies and smooth dance moves. Full review.

Los Angeles Times

The film's frantic cutting style makes it difficult to simply enjoy bodies moving in space. Full review.

Movieline

'Step Up Revolution' is also not a movie you watch for its incredible story and dialogue. The film doesn't even share much connective tissue with its predecessors save for an appearance from Adam Sevani as Moose. Full review.

New York Daily News

Anyway. Here's what matters: The dance scenes are great. While no more revolutionary than the "political" plotline, the flash-mob concept does allow for more creative choreography than this series has seen in some time. Full review.

New York Times

Alas, the dancers have to stop sometimes to allow the utterly unoriginal story to be told, and the romance at the center of it inspired Amanda Brody, the screenwriter, to produce dialogue so cheesy as to be laughable. Full review.
