The film tells the story of a pair of intersecting dancers in New York who fall into a bitter rivalry between their brothers through distinguished dance clubs.
A soapy, flashy confection that juxtaposes Mr. Hough's tap dancing with the Japanese drumming style Taiko, tossed with liberal helpings of contemporary hip-hop moves.
The 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.
[...] The irresistibly dopey Make Your Move drops the spectacle endemic to most dance films in favor of a forward-thinking sweetness. [...] What the film lacks in authenticity, however, it makes up for in good intentions and simple pleasures.
Scenes from the competing clubs include impressive choreography and gravity-defying moves. If only the poorly delivered, trite dialogue and predictable plot aimed as high.
A 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.
