Step Up 5: All In

"With acting that goes from passable to laughable, dialogue cheesier than feta fondue, and a story that’s as silly as ever, this fifth Step Up isn’t going to win over naysayers. To the plot’s credit, it does twist the typical ‘dance tournament’ storyline slightly but it’s not going to cause epiphanies, and neither will the tacky romance between Miami Heat’s Sean and The Street’s Andie. Ironically, the brief love plot between the Robot Guy and Robot Girl has more heart."

"With even less plot than in previous installments to get in the way of its inventive 3D dance scenes, this fifth pic delivers on spectacle... but lacks in chemistry."

"This is pretty much the last throw of the dice for a dance saga that ran out of juice a couple of sequels ago. The set-pieces, though, still deliver the requisite pizzazz."

"This really doesn't have the fun or the zip of that earlier Miami adventure."

"The exuberant dance sequences have long been the series’ saving grace, but even those are starting to feel redundant and interchangeable."

"There’s barely any humor that doesn’t feel third-rate and most of the plot threads are so thin that All In occasionally feels like a satire of a dance film."

"The space between the spectacles are just too laborious, creating the odd sensation that there's not quite enough dance in this dance movie."
