Never mind the perfunctory storyline of the leader of a dance crew with big ideas falling in love with a classical dancer who just happens to be the daughter of the man who is about to tear down the dance crew's neighbourhood. It's more of the same, but probably even sillier and certainly a step down from the Step Up 3. That predecessor at least included two likable leads and one outstanding set piece shot in one take. This installment really is nothing more than an excuse to show some incredible dance moves being nearly destroyed by MTV-style editing, which makes you feel that although the dancing is probably quite good, the editor felt he had to cover this up by what he or she thought was 'clever editing'. Great dancing doesn't need any editing, as far as I'm concerned. A weak so-called plot, a silly screenplay, mediocre performances... there's very little to recommend this. Perhaps you'll enjoy the soundtrack. I sure as hell didn't, but there's no accounting for taste, is there?
