In an attempt to achieve her dream of becoming a professional dancer, a young teenager girl admires dancing, has traveled to a dance competition in Chicago, where she has been rejected and asked to participate in the second audition and try another kind of dancing, the thing that makes her frustration and depression.
...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.
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.
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
So predictable that you know exactly what's going to happen at any given minute.

Despite boundless energy and some surprisingly artful photography, 'Make it Happen' is never more than product. Cheap, abysmally scripted and utterly soulless.
