The problem here is that a dance group that calls itself The Mob performs these acts within the midst of social functions. Step Up 4: Revolution (2012): Dir: Scott Speer / Dir: Ryan Guzman, Kathryn McCormick, Misha Gabriel, Peter Gallagher, Cleopatra Coleman: Pointless waste of energy about aiming your talents and abilities to greater acclaim. And there are some annoying bits - Eddie's actions for one, and the dance routine involving showering dollar bills all over the place for another (these people have no money - how do you get hold of so much cash, whether it is real or fake?) Some characters from earlier films show up at the end for reasons of title continuity.
#What order does the step up movies go in movie#
The movie is bright and colourful, there is some attractive cinematography, and the performances are satisfactory. I find them a combination of gymnastics and athletics as much as dance, but all of them (there are perhaps half a dozen production numbers) are choreographed and staged with imagination, and performed with exuberance and staggering skill. The afore-mentioned Ms McCormick is one reason, but I think I have to sing the praises of the dance routines. Had I known beforehand how hot Ms McCormick was, I might have gone because of her, but I didn't. And it wasn't because of the dancing because I'm not a big dance fan either. It wasn't because of the music: I often don't care for much of the music in these movies. It certainly wasn't because of the plot, because this is trite, hackneyed, clichéd stuff, without a single surprise in it. That's why I went to see this one (Step Up Revolution in the US). Why? Because I'm a fan of 3D, and 3D often adds a dimension to dance movies. It is well documented (by me) that I am not a fan of dance films, yet I go to see them. Then Eddie finds out that Emily is Anderson's daughter and Sean didn't tell him and his sense of betrayal lead him to. Anderson proposes to knock down their neighbourhood and build a new hotel, so they target their guerrilla dancing at this. Sean, meanwhile, falls for Emily (Kathryn McCormick), a red-hot dancer and also Anderson's daughter, and introduces her to The Mob. The rest of the time they are waiters at a hotel until, following a change of ownership to Anderson (Peter Gallagher), Eddie is fired. Sean (Ryan Guzman) and his best friend Eddie (Misha Grabiel) belong to a group who call themselves The Mob who carry out guerrilla dancing attacks in Miami, the object of the exercise being to secure 10 million hits on Youtube which, apparently, brings with it a cash prize. And I can't say enough about the choreography and the dancing, I have seen nothing like it before, it kept me and my wife entertained.
While their acting will not win any accolades, it is good enough for this movie which features the dancing. Together they made a fine couple for the film. She has been dancing since she was a small girl, but had no acting experience before this role. (Curiously Guzman, from Texas, had no dancing experience and had to learn just for this role.) Kathryn McCormick is Emily, the daughter of the wealthy developer. Ryan Guzman, former model and mixed martial arts fighter is Sean, one of the co-founders of the mob. But the dancer, his daughter, is on the side of the locals, particularly a group who call themselves "The Mob" and stage dancing flash mobs, with the ambition of winning a contest to see which Youtube video gets 10Million hits first. The dad of an aspiring dancer is a wealthy businessman setting out to buy up some Miami property, oust the residents, and expand his hotel and resort empire. All the dance numbers are held together by a simple story. When you view the DVD 'extras' you see that the director, cinematographer, and choreographers wanted to do something new, to go beyond what they had done in the other 'Step' movies.
