Step Up 3

I think it actually honors the art form of dance, but not in a solemn, highbrow way.

It's a pleasure to see what kind of career Bill Murray craving out for himself with this sort of this choice.

It's something that you would not be unhappy seeing on television, [but] there's nothing that calls it for you to go see it on the big-screen.

I know this film sort of deals on a fine line of humiliation and admiration, but I thought it pulled it off.

Too much of the movie is about Stone's fawning regard for these powerful men. He's an annoying presence, both on screen and in voiceover, who nearly sabotages his own movie.

It's not as good as the 1984 version. I say that not just out of nostalgia, but because I think that that was a more satisfying drama.
