Leave your thoughts about Make It Happen.
| Urban CinefileAndrew L. UrbanWe 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 |
| TeletextVictor OlliverThe story may be predictable but Winstead infuses every moment with an amazing amount of charm. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerIn short, this is a watchable dance movie and Winstead's performance just about compensates for the generally poor direction. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...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. |
| The Age (Australia)Jake WilsonIt's hard to dislike all these urban musicals aimed at teenage girls, and even harder to tell them apart. |
| Total FilmEllen E JonesIt'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. |
| Film4Daniel EtheringtonThere's dancing, there's emotion, there's an earnestly cheesy inspirational storyline, there's nothing you won't have seen before. |
| Empire MagazineNick De SemlyenThe directing's lazy, the love interest is a smarmy douche and the dialogue is flatter than Winstead's toned tummy. |
| London Evening StandardDerek MalcolmSo predictable that you know exactly what's going to happen at any given minute. |
| What CultureMike EdwardsAnother dance movie this year? Seriously, where the heck do they keep coming from? |
