Movie overall is a cute, easy watch. It would be nice if one of these "dance" movies about what high school/college competitions are like were anywhere near accurate. Where are the coaches, where are the actual jazz/lyrical choreographed routines and the months it takes to get them down? Not just some pretend booty shaking to Top 40 music.

Although the movie seems short, the film had a little chance to develop it's character, aside of that the movie is fun and heartwarming, Sabrina Carpenter and Jordan Fisher's chemistry is outstanding here

I don't agree with all the mega comment here. I agree it's a very typical movie with predict ending but I liked it. Could have been worse! It made me want to dance even though I can't dance at all and absolutely loved Jordan Fisher! He's superb

Sabrina Carpenter keeps Work It afloat despite its predictable romance and ending.
If you're bored on a Sat night and want to watch a cute little movie, put this on. Don't expect too much, the plot isn't great even almost predictable but I won't bash this movie I expect that out of a movie like this. It wasn't too bad, just not great.

When I see the Work It trailer to checked if it is worth watching and I found out yes it is. It is fun, motivating and inspiring. The. film is campy, entertaining and for sure it will find a good audience . Sabrina Carpenter casting in this film is a good choice. I like how she portray her role, she is quirky but gorgeous and bit of a nerdy. Kenyan Lonsdale also did a good job as antagonist in this film. However, observed in this film that it has a less plot and little dance. I felt that the film is too short to provide more details on the character/s. But overall, it is alright, it is enjoyable just lack of content.

It's Step it Up meets Save the Last Dance meets Pitch Perfect meets Bring it On Again.

The movie was nice to watch with quirky high school conversations and well choreographed dance sequences. It was not trying out to be a path breaking movie, but it succeeded in being charming.

I love dance movies, but this one didn't do it for me.
The dancing and the acting was so vacuous, it left me feeling empty inside. You didn't get to know the characters at all, it was just the lead's voice over explaining it to you, like the director really didn't trust you to understand any subtext.
Shallow and generic, but good if you want something cheesy to talk over. :)

Very enjoyable movie, likable cast, some good laughs. Well done for a dance movie!
A whole bunch of dance movies have been made on pretty much the same formula. Just look at the Step Up series and you've already got a handful.
So if you want to be surprised or blown away, look somewhere else. This is just a dance movie. No more, no less.
In some ways this movie is lacking compared to other movies of the genre - for instance while the dancing in it is not terrible it's not as impressive as most other dance movies I've seen. But I'm no dancer so I can overlook that. It is however not the best in terms of acting. There are some who make it worth it (see next section for details), and some where I was unconvinced to say the least. Unfortunately one of those was the main character, which is unfortunate.
On the plus side, it doesn't take itself as seriously as some dance movies, and in spots it's very funny. Which leads me to the two biggest plusses; Jordan Fisher and Liza Koshy. Liza Koshy brings the biggest laughs, and Jordan Fisher is the heart of the movie. A lot of the acting in the movie is a little stiff and/or superficial, but Jordan Fisher brings it 100%. Without these two this movie might only have gotten 4 or 5 stars from me, but they add a little something so it sneaks up to 6 stars.

Quinnn during an interview at college, lets it slip that she was part of the "Thunderbirds", an excellent and well-known dance group. The problem is, she can't dance. So, she auditions to be part of it. She fails, of course, so she decides to start her own group.
Let me just say that I LOVE Jordan Fisher. This could have been a movie in which he makes sandwiches while riding a bike and I would have still watched it. Jordan is the reason I decided to watch this, but I was pleasantly surprised. I don't know if Liza Koshy's acting was good but she convinced me, she was the funny one and she made me laugh. I love Keiynan Lonsdale. I'm glad he was here. It was my first time watching Sabrina, I was satisfied with her work.
Look, the movie isn't nothing spectacular, but it's fun to pass the the time. However, I had two big problems: Firstly, Quinn is 17? And Jake was surely over +21 and I don't know how things are in the States and that is illegal in my country and it makes me a bit uncomfortable, she is a minor. Secondly, you cannot learn how to dance THAT well in two months. I know, it's a movie, but still. Let's keep it realistic.

People that rated this 10/10 are absolutely delusional. This movie is garbage. Like, literally should be put into a trashcan. What a waste of money and resources.

Work It isn't the best movie. It is kind of cheesy, yet this film isn't bad, either. It has a few catchy songs and the story is interesting. The dialogue is decent and the acting is good. So this movie is fine, I guess.

This movie is a portfolio of clicheys. An average plot and characters that you've seen in countless other movies of the sort. The script is poor.
In my opinion the female lead comes annoying. Often i had to skip, it got boring.
Description : A girls admission to her college depends on her performance at a dance competition, she forms a group of dancers to take on the best squad in school... and now she JUST needs to learn how to dance.
Review : Movie is super cute. It is somewhat in the lines of Step-Up, but more focused to teenage goof ups and love. The characters in movie has beautiful chemistry. I specially love the selection of songs. Do watch it.

It has plenty of youthful energy, and I feel very connected to their dancing spirit.
This movie reminded me of step up 2, they seem to have taken a little inspiration from it. Of course the dancing is not as good but that's kind of a story premise. Girl with no dancing experience has to learn dancing in a short amount of time, after claiming to the Duke interviewer she was on a dance team. She forms a dancing group with fellow highschollers who have some dancing skill that needs perfecting. I loved the premise of teens of different interests getting together, but I wish we got to know group members a little more. Lisa Koshy was amazing in this movie, she made every scene funnier. Sabrina Carpenter was very charming and her acting was on point as with actually all the cast members main or suporting. I will probably watch this movie again and I recomend it to anyone who loves highchool movies with a good plot and acting.
