Step Up: All In (2014)
TOMATOMETER
Critics Consensus: With slick choreography all too often interrupted by feeble attempts at plot, Step Up: All In would be more fun with all of its dialogue edited out.

Critic Reviews for Step Up: All In
All Critics (46) | Top Critics (11) | Fresh (20) | Rotten (26)
"All In" is a lesser effort in this franchise, but not without its charms.
Reuniting, or really, introducing, the gang is a gimmick. It's also self-destructive-cramming in all these characters chokes up the plot, and who watches a Step Up for the plot?
It's the rare movie that knows its limitations, but also understands how to use form to best convey its strengths ...
When the cast isn't dexterously spinning, "All In" turns into a promotional video for Caesars Palace.
The dancing is the star of any of these movies, and Sie knows when to get out of the way and let it do the heavy lifting.
Even by the standards of this franchise-and this genre in general-"Step Up All In" is pretty laughable.
Step Up isn't high art, but it is the Fast & Furious of dance flicks.
The dancing is king. So if you can't stand the heat of competition, stay out of the kitchen.
When you remove the popping, locking, crunking and breaking from the equation, what is left is ... melodrama, shorthanded plotting, and lame characterisation.
Step Up All In is spectacle wrapped in story, but it's the juicy delicious centre which we all crave.
Usually these films kick off with a splashy ensemble number to get everyone in the mood but here instead there's a deliberately deflating audition montage.
As with the previous Step Up films, there's very little to dislike here. The filmmakers know what their loyal audiences want - and it's not great acting but loads and loads of...street dancing.
The picture is high energy, feel-good, and sweet like bubblegum, and that's perfectly okay.
Sensational high energy dancing with inventive choreography and sassy rhythms make this fifth film in the franchise fly, even though the plot is wafer thin and the girl boy dynamic wanting
As its title suggests, this is pretty much the last throw of the dice for a dance saga that more ran out of juice a couple of sequels ago. The set-pieces, though, still deliver the requisite pizzazz.
Only a frolicking duet set to Bobby Brown breaks the monotony.
You know what's fun about old-school dance movies? They're happy. Even when someone is sad, you know that dancing somehow will make things right again.
Of all the franchise flicks hitting theatres this summer, not one has a climactic battle as visually graceful, invigorating and altogether stunning as Step Up All In.
Terrific dance sequences make up for subpar acting, plot.
Much amazing dance talent is again given dazzling showcase, but the sporadic bursts of cathartic joyfulness herein are fewer and further between than in any movie in the series.
Without Channing Tatum, the appeal of this faltering franchise fades, except for the dance sequences.
...Step Up All In plays to its audience with familiar faces and new fantastic dance talent.
After its silly last installment, this series is now showing signs of growth and maturity but not enough to recommend the new feature.
Audience Reviews for Step Up: All In
While still riddled with cliches, "Step Up 4: Revolution" is one of the better instalments in the franchise, bringing in an entirely new cast and having a much bigger scale for it's dance choreography. The cinematography and choreography really are the best parts of this film, and even though the characters are not the greatest, by the end you may just feel yourself caring about them. There is one huge problem with this film and that is the main plot, which is the same as son many films out there, but I liked that it did not take over the story and it was just a small element to the film. These films are meant to have a little character development, an easy story to follow, and a likeable cast in order to get us to the final dance sequences, and this film accomplishes that for the most part. You really have to be a fan of cool dancing to enjoy these films, and since I am, this did it for me and I want to see more. The reason I like these later sequels is sue to the fact that they are doing right by their material, which is what the earlier films failed to do. Overall, it's not the most memorable film, but it is fun enough.
