Despite the fact that there are four choreographers listed on the IMDB credits, even a few of the routines felt flat.

One can't help but feel that if the franchise hasn't jumped the shark it's certainly stepping over a finned killer fish with abandon. Damn. We've been served.

The Step Up dance franchise steps up for a fourth time, unashamedly and unselfconsciously sticking to a tried and trusted formula, here transplanted to Miami.

What should have been a stylish and fun film is instead an exercise all too similar to those godawful 80's dance flicks.
