Awesome and spectable dance sequences I ever saw. This dance perform movie is familiar as Flashdance meets Save the Last Dance. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is absolutely amazing in this film. Whilst most actresses would be quite happy to let a stand-in do all the diffic... read more
It was no surprise that, throughout Make It Happen's 80-minutes duration, one would find this latest dance flick (helmed by occasional music director, Darren Grant) riddled with the most tiresome and obnoxious clichés that the genre could offer across its existence.... read more

[i]Kada sam oti?ao u bioskop da pogledam ovaj film nije mi bilo čudno da je pun tinejdzera i da sam ja najstarija osoba u sali, jer j... read more
I know I swore off these dance movies, but I like MEW, she's a good actress and I thought she might bring something more to the role. Nope. She fails to get into dance school, becomes a burlesque dancer (with half a star for decent choreography), falls for the first guy she meets... read more
Mary Elizabeth Winstead gives a strong performance as a small town girl trying to make it at the top dance school in Chicago. When she doesn't get accepted, she has to earn a living by being a dancer in a risque nightclub. Her brother tries to bring her back home to run the famil... read more
This movie is across between, Step Up, Center Stage, and Coyote Ugly. It has like parts of each of those movies that I have already seen in this movie. The girl wants to move on with her dream which is a lot like Coyote Ugly. She wants into a school of music and ballet which is l... read more
Derivative even considering it's a dance flick. As always not enough dancing, the relationships between the characters all seem false and contrived and the plot hangs together like a nonsticky thing. Winstead is a good dancer though, the brother and sister vibe is a nice add-on a... read more
I really like Drama movies like this where small town girl leaves her small town to follow her big dreams in the big city.
Great dance numbers with a plot that is enjoyable even though it is not greatly original. The cast was great and will keep you riveted during the dance scenes.
...yet another tedious inspirational tale revolving around a would-be dancer's efforts at transcending her wrong-side-of-the-tracks upbringing to become a professional hoofer. Full Review
We know the trajectory, it's a question of how brightly the rocket burns and how interested we are in the astronauts aboard this dance missile from small town Indiana to Chicago Big Time Dance School Full Review
This film's limp retelling of the against-all-odds cliche just doesn't bump, grind or sweat enough to make it happen. Full Review
Mary Elizabeth Winstead [has] star quality. Full Review
It's hard to dislike all these urban musicals aimed at teenage girls, and even harder to tell them apart. Full Review
So predictable that you know exactly what's going to happen at any given minute. Full Review
Then you wait for the moment one of the regular girls gets injured, the hostess has to find a replacement and... the rest you know. Full Review
The film should have been called Rehash Dance, because it is Flashdance without any new ideas. Full Review
It's all just filler between the dance scenes, which are admittedly fun. Think Pussycat Dolls with slightly more clothes on. Unrepentantly formulaic, but enjoyable all the same. Full Review
