Step Up 4: Miami Heat


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Myself

Gotta love your dance movies. The tried and true formula is pumped out yet again. Mercifully this time they actually play out the majority of the admittedly very entertaining dance sequences, instead of the rapid cutting every 2 seconds that destroyed what enjoyment I could have had out of Streetdance 2 earlier this year.

Unfortunately anytime one of the characters opens their mouth to say something I don't know if I should laugh or cringe. I loved that they ended up celebrating selling out to corporations after the whole film was spent protesting corporate greed. But does anyone really come here for the story? Probably not. There's not really any point pointing out plot holes. All that matters is that besides on or two extremely wide convergence shots, the the 3D was good, the leads were sexy and, blatant hip grinding aside, the dances were off the hizzle.  We're a long way from where this franchise started out. It's assembly line filmmaking and you'll already know if you're gonna enjoy this or not.
