Step Up 5: All In **½ (2014, Ryan Guzman, Briana Evigan, Adam G Sevani, Alyson Stoner) – Movie Review

So, as the title suggests, the idea here is that all the stars from the previous Step Up instalments come together (apart from original star Channing Tatum of course) in a Las Vegas-set dance extravaganza. That’s the good […]
