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

Reviews for Make It Happen
It's hard to dislike all these urban musicals aimed at teenage girls, and even harder to tell them apart.
This film's limp retelling of the against-all-odds cliche just doesn't bump, grind or sweat enough to make it happen.
Its just as cheesy and just as icky, but calamitously fails to offer any high-octane dance to ease the pain.
It could be a contemporary take on classic backstage musicals. Or it could be the end of the cinematic arts as we know them.
The directing’s lazy, the love interest is a smarmy douche and the dialogue is flatter than Winstead’s toned tummy.
