Donny is a hotheaded dancer freshly arrived from New Orleans. Aya, a member of an all-girls dance group, will have to return to Japan if she doesn't land a job soon. The two strike up an electric romance amidst a turf war between their brothers' rival clubs in the New York underground dance scene.
The New York Times by Andy Webster
Mr. Hough, a “Dancing With the Stars” champion, impresses with his footwork and sufficiently fulfills his romantic-lead duties. BoA is cute and appealingly impudent, but a bit more remote. On the floor, however, their chemistry ignites.
Overlong and lacking a single believable moment, Make Your Move is nevertheless a sweet reminder that anyone can dance together, so long as they aren’t fighting over who should lead.
New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
It’s cheesy fun for sure, but fun nonetheless.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
Hough’s dancing is far more impressive than his acting, and BoA, despite her perky sexiness, is an even less compelling screen presence. But they certainly move well together, and that’s pretty much all that matters here.
Los Angeles Times by Inkoo Kang
Its core dance styles are a wonderfully frenetic fusion of tap and hip-hop and a truly novel blend of Japanese taiko drumming and K-pop girl-group choreography. Whenever actor Derek Hough and BoA stop leaping and twirling, though, Make Your Move is an underwritten mess.
A slick, disposable soap opera.
The dancing’s fine here, but there’s little else to distinguish Make Your Move, an entirely generic drama.
RogerEbert.com by Sheila O'Malley
A movie like Make Your Move rests on the success of its various dance sequences, not its plot. And the dancing here is exciting, innovative, and specific.
Washington Post by Stephanie Merry
Some of the dancing really is spectacular. 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 man, thoroughly dissatisfied with his life, finds new meaning when he forms a fight club with soap salesman Tyler Durden.
