Step Up is kind of becoming like Saw; it’s easy to churn out sequels and they’re made so cheaply that even low box office performance can propel the film into profitability early. Now comes another sequel in the franchise, Step Up 4, which continues the third film’s re-working of the Breakin’ formula.
Plot Summary: “STEP UP 4″ is the next installment in the worldwide smash STEP UP franchise, which sets the dancing against the vibrant backdrop of Miami. EMILY (Kathryn McCormick), the daughter of a wealthy businessman, arrives in Miami with aspirations of becoming a professional dancer, but soon falls in love with SEAN (Ryan Guzman), a young man who leads a dance crew in elaborate, cutting-edge flash mobs. The crew, called the MOB, strives to win a contest for a major sponsorship opportunity, but soon Emily’s father threatens to develop the MOB’s historic neighborhood and displace thousands of people. Emily must band together with Sean and the MOB to turn their performance mobs into protest mobs, and risk losing their dreams to fight for a greater cause.
