He learns that Nicky and his partner Kaz had a falling out when a rich guy convinced Kaz that he doesn't need Nicky. Nicky told Kaz that he's just using him to get to Kaz's sister who is also a performer who is hoping an agent will take her as a client because she could be sent back to Japan where she is from. When Donny sees her, he can't help but be interested in her despite Nicky telling him not to go near her.
Leave your thoughts about Make Your Move.
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohThe plot is completely shallow and endlessly derivative, but the performers manage somehow to pierce through the cliché-ridden morass and offer some charm...Make Your Move delivers a reliably good time. |
| VarietyJustin ChangA slick, disposable soap opera about a poor white boy and a spirited Korean girl who fall in love despite hailing from rival corners of Brooklyn's club scene. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfA fantasy with dance and PG-13 sensuality, making it easily digestible, but its familiarity is deflating, making the movie feel about as impulsive and energetic as a dance step diagram. |
| NerdistWitney SeiboldHere is the central reason why dance movies work so well: They cannot be faked. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanIt’s cheesy fun for sure, but fun nonetheless. |
| Punch Drunk CriticsMae AbdulbakiThe type of film that could very well turn into a guilty pleasure or could have gotten a lot of ratings had it aired as a TV movie, but doesn't have the chops to keep its hold on audiences on the big screen. |
| The DissolveDavid EhrlichOverlong and lacking a single believable moment, Make Your Move is nevertheless a sweet reminder that anyone can dance together, so long as they aren’t fighting over who should lead. |
| Common Sense MediaS. Jhoanna RobledoStar-crossed dance romance doesn't have the best moves. |
| New York PostSara StewartThe dancing’s fine here, but there’s little else to distinguish Make Your Move, an entirely generic drama. |
| New York TimesAndy WebsterMr. Hough, a “Dancing With the Stars” champion, impresses with his footwork and sufficiently fulfills his romantic-lead duties. BoA is cute and appealingly impudent, but a bit more remote. On the floor, however, their chemistry ignites. |
