The Latest Film in the Popular Step Up Franchise Step Up All In Arrives On Blu-ray This November

step up all inIt may be most pleasing to former Why So Blu? writer Gregg Senko for me to say that Step Up All In was one of the better films of the summer and it is because it is true.  I have quite the fondness for this ongoing dance-movie franchise and while I can acknowledge that various aspects of these films are certainly ridiculous and laughable that does not mean I do not derive just as much entertainment from these parts of the film (the story beats, character stuff) as I do the well-directed dance portions.  With all that in mind, Step Up All In is coming to Blu-ray on November 4th from Lionsgate and it looks to be packed with extras as well.  Get the lowdown by continuing to read this post!
