June 3, 2009I was shocked to find out at the end of the movie that it was filmed in Ontario. What do Canadians know about step-dancing? The movie is pretty good. Pretty difficult for the hero to balance relationships, studying for the scholarship and step-dancing.

September 7, 2008The killer dance moves are quite okay in this choregraphed flick as you know what I really like all-black extraordinary dance film called Stomp the Yard the best. This is much like what break dancing was to the 1980's, but is more of a team sport, with just a few individua... read more

April 21, 2009movie was very slow, dancing moves weren't all that explosive, just seemed like a remake of stomp the yard but from a female dancers point of view instead of a guy, very,very similar storyline, but i liked stomp the yard, just didnt want to see it again.

July 24, 2008Had to watch this movie, only because my nephew thought it would be good. It was cheesy! Not a great dance movie or any stunning moves like other dance movies. Once was enough.

April 21, 2008Surprise surprise! One of these movies was finally good! Besides being slightly cliche, this movie is way better than all of its ugly siblings (see Stomp the Yard, You Got Served, etc.). I thought most of the leads did a way better job acting then any of those in the others. Not ... read more

January 24, 2008Movie was all right. Hard to rate it and watch it after watching Stomp the Yard, which was better and fresher.

October 20, 2009I watched this entire crapfest waiting to see the star of "Vampire Diaries" Nina Dobrev. I didn't see her once! At the credits, she is listed as "tall girl in bathroom" LOL. Movie was somewhat predictable and had a couple small twists. Hood life must be tough when people reso... read more

August 23, 2008Its like Stomp The Yard but better. This has drama and very excellent dancing. I love Stomp The Yard but this has gurls dancing too!

August 17, 2008first off, let me say that the only reason i watched this movie was the fact that i was trapped inside of an airplane flying back home on leave. Secondly, the acting in this film is even worse that the shittacularly poor use of grammar in the title. thirdly, this movie is just fl... read more

As we replay last year's step-dance hit Stomp the Yard, the ostensible message about working hard in school gets stomped out of the yard. Full Review

David Wiegand, San Francisco Chronicle
How She Move isn't a great film or even a terribly well-made film, but it has its moments and, of course, it has the ending it's promised all along. Full Review
January 25, 2008
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Even if the setting is novel and the leads seem authentic, How She Move is all too content to step down a well-worn path. Full Review

Matt Zoller Seitz, New York Times
The strong acting, spectacular dance routines and culturally specific details in How She Move turn clichés into catharsis.

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
How She Move gets it right in every dance sequence, but stumbles badly whenever the characters step offstage (or a car hood, or the sidewalk, or wherever they happen to be practicing). Full Review

Tom Long, Detroit News
Honestly, this is a carbon copy of every other 'gotta dance' flick ever made, down to the cheesy emcees who host the big dance-off (it's in Detroit!) and the wannabe heart-tugging conclusion. Full Review
January 25, 2008
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
Though it may sound like it, How She Move is not just another dance-off flick. Full Review
January 25, 2008
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
A grittier, slightly more real-world version of movies like Step Up, Stomp the Yard, and Save the Last Dance. Full Review
January 25, 2008
Claudia Puig, USA Today
Though the story is predictable, How She Move has two key assets: powerful dance sequences and an emphasis on education. Full Review
