Flashy flash mobs
15 December 2012
Who hasn't spent a few enjoyable minutes watching flash mob clips on YouTube? This movie explores the idea of flash mobs being done by a group of really good dancers, rather than just ordinary people. Flash mobs done by pros.

In this movie we follow the performances of a group of Miami dancers called "The Mob", who dance like professionals and put on incredibly complicated cutting-edge performances. They also somehow bring along a quality sound system, huge props and performance art to their performances.

The American genius of combining genres to come up with creative new concepts is at work here. No flash mob video was ever like this.

This movie consists of a series of enjoyable dance performances with a flash mob theme. The plot is thin, unrealistic and forgettable really. It involves the daughter of a developer, a dancer herself, joining the group and falling in love with the lead dancer. It turns out that her daddy is going to develop that part of Miami out of existence. Of course, The Mob have to do something about it. Which side will the daughter take?

Everyone in the movie is impossibly attractive and totally cool.

I saw the movie in 2D on a 737-800. During the final dance between Guzman and McCormick I looked up and saw 40 TV screens all showing their sizzling performance. Was it my imagination or was everyone on that flight transfixed?
