How She Move

"How She Moves" springs to life only when its high-energy, talented cast members are kicking up their heels and strutting their stuff for the camera. Otherwise, this stale strive-suffer-and-succeed story is low on energy, low on originality, and low on anything that might make the movie stand out from the dozens of other, likeminded films that have come before it.

Rutina Wesley has modest appeal as the academically gifted inner-city youngster who finds that the best way to raise her private school tuition money is by entering step-dance competitions, but both she and her fellow actors are poorly served by uninspired screen writing and undistinguished direction. As noted earlier, the movie achieves some spark when the performers are up on stage dancing, but such moments are far too few and sadly fleeting.

Don't waste your time. This is your typical, no-content dance movie. This movie is for sistas and brothers in the same way "Bring It On" was for white-girl cheerleaders. High-schoolers with no sense of what makes a movie good are the only people who will find this movie worth watching. The plot is stupid and is tries unsuccessfully to be believable. The soundtrack is good, and the stepping is great. This does not, however, constitute a full-length feature film. This movie would have been more appropriate for a special on MTV. The acting was questionable by the female lead, but the male lead's acting showed some promise. Granted, the script did not give them much to act with. Overall, the movie is a dud. Don't waste your money on the film. Buy the soundtrack instead.

With title like this you know you get pretty much lot of junk. Acting bad. Script bad. Director bad. Grammar bad.

Movie make lot of noise that really not music and lot of people yell. Movie make bad racial stereotype. Why come every movie with black hero have drug addict? Why come hero always have to dance to be success? Why come famous rapper always have to be in dance movie? Why come letter "s" can't be in title?

Hollywood need to stop dumb down audience and make movie that have people with brain who know how speak proper English.

Do self favor and not go see.

I noticed this movie was getting trashed well before it hit the theaters and I too didn't have high hopes for it. I figured it was another "You Got Served" type of movie with some nice dance moves and horrid acting. I was at the theater and deciding between this and Meet the Spartans and picked this. To my surprise the acting wasn't bad at all and the movie was actually pretty good. The fact that it has a lower rating than You Got Served is absolutely ridiculous. Instead of listening to the garbage posted on here I recommend going to see a matinée showing of this movie so you don't spend too much. I think you will be pleasantly surprised with how wrong everyone has been about it. When it comes to dance movies this is certainly one of the better ones with far superior acting than many of the other ones. Go see the movie and judge for yourself. Hopefully the rating will rise after it comes out on DVD and more people check the movie out instead of judging it based on comments before the movie released.

edit The movie is now moving closer to its correct rating. Over 1000 people have given it a rating of 9, a bit too high but at least it is helping to offset the ridiculous votes of 1.

Although some plot settings are not reasonable, the loopholes in the plot are forgivable. The key thing people want to see is the hot dance scenes. Overall, the tone of the film is pleasant, and still tells a traditional story about personal struggle, interspersed by wonderful and eye-catching dances
