3/5	42%	Step Up 4: Miami Heat (2012)	" Basically, if you were to make a Frankenstein's monster from the premises of Tower Heist and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, you'd get Step Up 4." — Flicks.co.nz Posted Aug 5, 2012
4/5	77%	Katy Perry: Part of Me (2012)	" Packed with high energy, basic morals and an infectious charm, much like Perry herself." — Flicks.co.nz Posted Jul 5, 2012
