Step Up is a fair dance film about some kids that get their big performance break. The film is average in every way with little more for the viewer. A jock fights external prejudices to become a dancer with an accomplished partner and a teach who sees something special. 'Step Up: All In' (2014) The fifth “Step Up” movie, like the fifth “Fast and Furious” movie, is the film that united most of the cast of the previous installments for a spectacular team-up.

You're so eager to get to work
you're sprinting off to the supply closet?
It's 15 minutes.
Don't I get a graceperiod or something?
You've neitherearned one, nor are you
entitled. But you can stay 15 minutes later.
(thumping)
Andrew, oh, my God.
What happened?
Came down on my ankle wrong
in class today.
- Are you OK?
- Yeah. It's just a sprain.
Doctor says I have to stay off of it.
I'm really sorry.
- For what? It's not your fault.
- I know, Nora.
It's just that the showcase
means a lot to both of us.
Maybe you could find someone
to rehearse with in the meantime.
I should be back before you know it.
Yeah. Um...
Don't worryabout it.
I'll be OK.
All right.
Cool. I'll see you later.
OK.
- What's up, man?
- 'Sup?
- Hey, where you from?
- I grew up in McCulloh Homes.
Oh, word.
That's where my boy Mac is from.
He lives over at Heritage now, though.
Oh, yeah?
I don't live over there no more.
I live with my aunt now.
I'll check you a little later, all right?
- A'ight.
- A'ight.
Later.
He only has a bad sprain. I need someone
to rehearse with until he gets better.
You know all the stuff
I have going on with the labels.
How come Miles
can find the time to help me?
No offense to Miles, but he's not involved
in everyaspect of the music as I am.
Look, all I need is somebody, Brett,
to rehearse with just for a couple of weeks.
I wanna help you. You know I do.
I'm just so close with my music,
I gotta give it everything I have right now.
Look, you're gonna do great.
You always do.
Yeah.
All right, sweetie.
( funk)
(Nora) Thank you guys so much
for coming to the audition.
- Ready?
- No!
Sorry. I'm not ready yet.
Thank you.
Next?
Like this.
Jump. See?
- It's not that hard. OK?
- Yeah.
Hold me. Great.
(laughs)
No.
Thank you.
- No! Oh!
- (snorts)
- Oh!
- I got it.
- You did it.
Step Up The Movie Songs
- No, no, no...
Thank you. Thanks.
I'll do it.
Do what?
I don't know.
Whatever y'all were tryin' to do out here.
You wanna lift me?
Are you kidding?
Does it look like I'm kiddin'?
OK, I get it. You're not gonna use me
to get out of cleaning the windows,
even if you were capable of dancing.
OK. I'm not trying to get out of anything
and I know you saw me the other day.
Step Up The Movie Cast
Thank you,
but I can find someone else.
OK.
I was just tryin' to help.
OK, wait.
Catch me.
Now what?
Um, um...
Put me down.
No. What about
choreographing a solo?
I don't have time to work out a solo.
Not a good one, anyway.
Have you talked to the sophomores?
I've auditioned a bunch of them.
None of them can handle it.
My dance has a lot of lifts in it
and you know how hard the...
- I can't believe there's no one else.
- None who have the time.
And you say that he can dance?
- He's adequate.
- Adequate?
See, that's my concern.
He's not taking this seriously.
Look, I'm sorry.
It's just you all be talkin' about dancin'
like it's rocketscience or something.
It's just for a couple of weeks
until Andrew gets better.
Yeah.
This would be your risk, Nora.
It's your senior piece.
I know.
Don't make me regret my decision.
Bring your tights.
Tights? Wait, what?
- (TV playing)
- (boy) Aah!
(Camille) I'm gonna beat you.
Anything interesting
happen in school today?
Malcolm, enough.
No.
Sit down. Thank you.
Eat.
Step Up The Movie Quotes

Anything special at school today?
I found a rehearsal partner,
so now I won't miss a beat
when Andrew gets back.
Your applicationsarrived from Cornell
and Brown. I put them on your bed.
Remember our deal, Nora.
