How She Move

I watch them all. It's not better than the amazing ones (_Strictly Ballroom_, _Shall we dance?_ (Japanese version), but it's completely respectable and pleasingly different in parts. I am an English teacher and I find some of the ignorance about language... Full review

This movie is not that great to me. I would say it is fair. The dancing was great at some parts but it didn't alway keep me watching. I thought some of the actors were not as good, the story was... Full review

I must give How She Move a near-perfect rating because the content is truly great. As a previous reviewer commented, I have no idea how this film has found itself in IMDBs bottom 100 list! That's absolutely ridiculous! Other films--particular those... Full review

Well, we've lowered the bar a step lower. Not only does the story not make sense; it's unoriginal, the acting is horrible and just look at the title!! This is the perfect example of why kids should stay in school --... Full review

This film is for them, and from what I can tell, it's an entertaining enough escapade, showing the competitive nature of the genre and the many possible ways it can be choreographed.

How She Move generated one of the worst ratings I have ever encountered on the Internet Movie Database, scoring 1.7 out of 10. The widescreen-only DVD, out last week, boasts good, blunt-spoken extras, including insights into how the dancers and the actors learned to cooperate, teach one another and emerge as a cohesive ensemble. ...

Some of the best moments in How She Move feature an all-girl crew called the Femmes Fatales, led by tough girl Michelle (Tre Armstrong).....Their choreography manages to be outrageously sexy without the kind of for-the-boys booty-shaking you see in hip-hop videos..... ... Full Review
