“Sadly, somewhere between a split and a fist pump, Revolution fell flat, and I found myself wishing for Magic Mike in 3-D.” Hillary Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

“She’s a rich daddy’s girl! He’s from the wrong side of the tracks! They bridge their socio-economic gap through the power of dance! Rinse, repeat.” Barbara VanDenburgh, Arizona Republic

“Step Up: Revolution is the fourth of the Step Up movies, a series of unconnected stories that serve as showcases for the kinds of young stars who sincerely hope they’ll soon be in better movies.” Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

“With the most wooden leads of the series to date—an MMA fighter and a So You Think You Can Dance alum—the drama between the dancing has never felt more interminable.” William Goss, Film.com

“More is not necessarily better, even when it comes to hot bodies and smooth dance moves.” Justin Lowe, Hollywood Reporter

“Step Up: You’ve Seen All This Before would be more accurate, but Summit Entertainment’s marketing department knows that wouldn’t help sell tickets.” Sean O’Connell, Washington Post
