I was especially keen to include a picture with this blog as I think it tells a good portion of the story all by itself.Think, hot babes dancing and not much more.
The fifth film in the 'Step Up' franchise, the director of this one is best known for directing music videos. Like the picture, that tells you a lot.
In keeping with the 'Step Up' flicks before it I gather, this is all about dancing. Forget about the plot - it's as flimsy as Joe Hockey's understanding of how poor people live. If you want a strong script and solid plot and character development, this is definitely not for you.
But the makers of this film know who their audience is and have appealed to them beautifully. At the preview I attended with a surprisingly eclectic crowd, a handful of people event clapped at the end. If you don't care too much about plot and are just happy to watch amazingly talented dancers strut their stuff, then I reckon you'll love this.
I think three stars is probably more generous than I'd be but I agree with what this critic from The Independent in the UK has to say about this film otherwise.
Trailer here. In cinemas from Thursday 11 September.
