Step Up: Revolution


Step Up Revolution is the next installment in the Step Up franchise, which sets the dancing against the vibrant backdrop of Miami. Emily, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, arrives in Miami with aspirations of becoming a professional dancer, but soon falls in love with Sean, a young man who leads a dance crew in elaborate, cutting-edge flash mobs. The crew, called the MOB, strives to win a contest for a major sponsorship opportunity, but soon Emily's father threatens to develop the MOB's historic neighborhood and displace thousands of people. Emily must band together with Sean and the MOB to turn their performance mobs into protest mobs, and risk losing their dreams to fight for a greater cause.

Let's face it.  Who gives a rat's ass about the stories in these movies?  You go to see the dance sequences.  Even Stinka said after the movie that "the dancing was cool but the rest was crap".  I was literally busy playing games on my phone any time it wasn't one of the choreographed scenes.  I will say that some of the scenes were actually pretty cool.  This Step Up franchise has literally morphed into a Mr. Cinco/Stinka tradition and this wasn't nearly as painful as the last one because I found the dances much more entertaining than the last one.

Would I recommend anyone checking this out?  Absolutely not if you haven't seen any of the others or if you didn't like the others.  If you did/do - then you will enjoy this one.  I thought it was better than entry three.
