It’s that “Chorus Line” sentiment and it’s as deep as “Step Up” movies get.
That’s what prompts Eddy to ask, after three years of effort, why they’re still struggling for this elusive, low-paying, short-lived dream. auditions for commercials in which clueless casting folk put them in one ridiculous costume and situation after another. That’s where Sean, Eddy and Twitch (Stephen Boss) of the last film’s Miami MOB are comically humiliated through a string of L.A. But “story” is used loosely here, and the best that can be said for “Step V” is that it has some sparkling moments of choreography, clever gimmicks as themes for the dance-offs and lovely costumes.Īnd that it’s very best sequence happens under the opening credits. “All In” takes us back to Los Angeles - Miami was the invigorating setting for 2012’s “Step Up: Revolution.” There’s continuity to the story in the form of characters from several earlier installments.

Still, as a broadly goofy comedy featuring two enormously charismatic leads who are perfectly suited to each other, it scratches a particular itch very, very effectively.Eddy, played by Misha Gabriel Hamilton from the last “Step Up” movie, turns to Sean (Ryan Guzman, star of the latest film, and asks the question that’s already on our minds just ten minutes into “Step Up All In (3D).”įive films and eight years into the unlikeliest of film franchises, a series that has changed characters, changed locations and changed studios, with none of the movies anywhere near being a blockbuster, you really do wonder why every so often - usually in the dog days of summer - “Step Up” returns.

The shaggy script may have had too many cooks.) And despite the fact that Loretta talks (and the movie talks) about how "artifact near a volcano" stories about white "adventurers" are adjacent to colonization, the fact remains that the movie still is calling on a lot of those tropes, even as it tries to critique them a bit.

(It's possible the writing got a little scattershot - the screenplay is credited to the directors Adam and Aaron Nee, plus Dana Fox and Oren Uziel, from a story by Seth Gordon. It doesn't have the joke density they do, nor the multiplicity of inspired supporting performances. The Lost City isn't up there with the brilliantly silly Paul Feig action comedies that it seems to be inspired by, like Spy and The Heat. And refreshingly, even though there's more than 15 years between Bullock and Tatum, nobody talks about it - just like they rarely talk about it when men in romantic films are significantly older than the women they played opposite.
They're also both very good at turning on a dime there's a scene in which they do get to dance together (if you're going to be in a romantic comedy with Channing Tatum, you should certainly get to dance with him), and as silly as the rest of the movie is, that scene is pretty sexy. Movie Interviews Sandra Bullock on playing an ex-con trying to reenter society after 20 years (Although I do like the way that what threatens early on to become a distasteful caricature of romance writing gets some reconsideration as the film goes along.) The draw in The Lost City is simply the fabulous time everybody seems to be having, particularly Bullock and Tatum, who are delightful together, and both of whom capitalize very well on their skills in physical comedy.
There's not much to this movie from a plot perspective, and few of the story beats are going to surprise anybody or say anything.
But this is really an inversion of that idea, given that Alan is very much not Dash, and in a very funny sequence I really don't want to spoil, you get a chance to see him alongside a guy who is more like Dash, and the two could not be more different. The obvious reference here is Romancing the Stone, the 1984 film in which Kathleen Turner plays a romance novelist who gets swept up in an adventure with Michael Douglas' on-the-nose rugged adventure hero. So it turns into an adventure-romcom, and of course they learn to like each other, and comedy ensues. When Alan - who does like Loretta, even though she doesn't like him at all - realizes she's in trouble, he decides to try to rescue her. Loretta is in the middle of blowing up her book tour when she is grabbed by a couple of dudes who work for a rich jerk named Abigail Fairfax (Daniel Radcliffe), whose reason for kidnapping Loretta relates to her academic work rather than her novels.
