This awesomely unambitious film has all the depth of a Pepsi ad.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead [has] star quality.

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

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.

Then you wait for the moment one of the regular girls gets injured, the hostess has to find a replacement and... the rest you know.

So predictable that you know exactly what's going to happen at any given minute.

Another dance movie this year? Seriously, where the heck do they keep coming from?

The film should have been called Rehash Dance, because it is Flashdance without any new ideas.

This film's limp retelling of the against-all-odds cliche just doesn't bump, grind or sweat enough to make it happen.

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

It's hard to dislike all these urban musicals aimed at teenage girls, and even harder to tell them apart.
