Storyline

The Mob sets the dancing against the vibrant backdrop of Miami. Emily arrives in Miami with aspirations of becoming a professional dancer and soon falls in love with Sean, a young man who leads a dance crew in elaborate, cutting-edge flash mobs, called "The Mob". When a wealthy business man threatens to develop The Mob's historic neighborhood and displace thousands-of people, Emily must work together with Sean and The Mob to turn their performance art into protest art, and risk losing their dreams to fight for a greater cause.

Goofs

After the first Mob scene, when Eddy is showing the YouTube video, the title says "The MOB - Hits Ocean Ave". Not long after they walk into the kitchen at the hotel, a news report about The Mob comes on the TV, making reference to an "Ocean Drive" not "Ocean Avenue".

User Reviews

More flat than anything else, unfortunately.

After having attended a couple of the early Step Up movies I gave this one a shot to see if it might have evolved. The reality of it is: It hasn't evolved! Characters - especially the main ones - are bland and unbelievable - literally. The storyline couldn't be any more ordinary. Music wise the producers tried to incorporate Dub Step as the main music style, which didn't match the theme, nor the story.

The dance action whatsoever did accommodate the music, but missed the overall messaging purpose of "The Mob" by miles.

Cheesy, non erotic. That sounds all pretty negative. So I am guessing the movie addresses a very young audience. Shame.
