Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

She sparks with Sean, the leader of a dance crew whose neighborhood is threatened by Emily's father's development plans. Step Up: Revolution is the 4th installment of the Step Up Series and it's probably a sequel that simply just doesn't suck. It's not something that you haven't seen before such as the love story, the dancing and the betrayal between friends but the dancing this time is so impressive that you easily forget the fact that it's just not an original idea. The actors and the characters are pretty good and they do their job pretty well, the chemistry between the 2 leads is believable and the soundtrack was also pretty good. Overall Step Up 4 succeeds where other films of this particular not so interesting genre have failed with it's really good dance sequences and even the good acting from a pretty unknown cast. (A+)
Dunham16 On the surface this romantic movie seems so formulaic one might pass it over unless a fan of each and every movie of this genre anxious to watch all of them over and over. A rich entrepreneur threatens the livelihoods of many struggling working people in Miami. His daughter has no interest in joining his empire and would rather become a professorial dancer. Her mentor becomes a low end male employee struggling to help his sister and niece make ends meet in Miami who works for her dad. The two leads of course face every obstacle thrown their way in the generic romantic movie and come out on top precisely the way those not fascinated by this genre expect. What makes this movie special is its superb film making. Every shot grabs the audience and keeps their interest. The seemingly trite themes are repackaged as meaningful for our time and the progress of the leads fascinating to watch. In the end one predicts the formula yet thoroughly enjoys every moment of the film.
Ole Sandbaek Joergensen What is your expectations when seeing a dance movie, I mean many of the reviews are negative because the story is not all that good and maybe it seems a bit to out there to change the mind of others via dance.Well what I like about these movies, this franchise, is that it is all about showing some great dancers doing something extra and showing off cool choreographs and playing great music, it always have a lot of different music, not only dance and hip hop, but also classic and ballet etc. I wish I had some of the talents these actors and dancers have, they make it seem so easy and cool, so this is why you should see these movies, not for the story, not for the typical romantic thing, but for the dancing, the music, the moves and the cool scenes with that.Enjoyable, just see it for the moves and the music.
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.
