The story line kind of reminded me of Step Up 3D; they both had to do with brothers, clubs, and dancing. In fact when I first read the plot my brain immediately flashed to Step Up 3D. It wasn't until I saw the trailer for this movie that I knew it was a completely different movie.
I really enjoyed seeing BoA act though; I didn't know she was in this movie or in a movie in general. I do dabble in just about every genre in almost every language, but I'd like to see her in Hollywood movies more. I think she has more to show for, don't get me wrong her dancing was good in the movie just not really one part that I remember more than the others. Moreover I think she and everyone else did a pretty good job at acting their characters; I particularly liked Nick and Kaz more than the main characters. It was a cute love story nonetheless; the movie itself doesn't particularly stand out to me. Although now I'll remember a few faces rather than just seeing their IMDb profile. There are some good looking people in this movie.
They could have had better song choices, as I didn't really feel into it like I wanted to jump right in and dance with them or even dance in my own room. The ending song was just about the only one that made me want to know what it was, and I did like the different forms of dancing and performances they had in this film.
There was only one part that I really laughed at and really just wanted rewind and see it again. Other than that I probably wouldn't watch it again. Just something nice to pass time, to each his own though.

Awful dance flick
I gotta admit the only reason I decided to watch this movie, is because I like dance flick and because it has Boa in it. Despite it having Boa, this movie was super disappointing. The dance scenes just didn't stand out and the romantic elements was too drawn out and boring to watch. I get that they were trying to go for that Romeo and Juliet direction revolving modern setting and dance. But it falls short in every level, including the acting. I know they were trying, but it just came off super cheesy. Some 12 or 13 year old girls might be cool with this flick, but I just can't see how anyone could enjoy this sappy, cliché, drawn out dance/romance flick. I think the only reason I kept watching was to do this review and because to see how Boa would do in a motion picture. And again the dance scenes has nothing spectacular. I am not shocked why this flick bombed in box office.
2/10
An amazing movie about dancing, passion and love.
Actually, I don't quite get why people leave so many negative feedback regarding this amazing movie. "Make Your Move" is one of the best movies about dancing and expressing the feelings through the moves, about passion, hard work and, of course, love. Pure love, which comes with lots of struggle and problems and which, on the other hand, makes people believe in themselves, makes them do things that they even could not have imagined of being possible to do. Romeo-Juliet-like story is really fascinating, and in the movie we can see a completely different, new side of it, which we have never seen before; the storyline is really wonderful - it kept me sitting on the edge of my seat, because there were so many cliffhangers I really enjoyed. To say more, I was really amazed by the incredible choreography, the soundtracks were fabulous as well, and I absolutely love the cast and the crew which did a great job - so many talented people in one movie, isn't it startling? I wish I could erase my own memory and watch this movie again and enjoy it in its whole like I did when I watched it for the first time. One of my favorite movies for sure, and I'm quite picky at this point. "Make Your Move" is an amazing movie about dancing, passion, love and so much more - I will never regret the day I made the decision to watch it.
