There’s little in the way of originality in Work It, but there’s a fresh, upbeat, infectious vibe to the silliness, thanks in large part to the talented and likable cast of young actors. Read full review

Only 92 minutes long, Work It could use more space to move around in: to let these performers really strut their stuff, and to allow the movie to develop a bit more idiosyncratic texture. As is, Work It is an agreeable enough pastiche, clearly aware of its influences and not trying to pretend that it’s come up with these steps all on its own. Read full review

“Ugly Dolls” screenwriter Alison Peck finds her niche with this picture, throwing just enough plot wrinkles and smart-ass banter into the mix to make the formula — if not exactly fresh — at least fresh-adjacent. Read full review

Work It is no “Step Up,” but its best sequences involve Jake and Quinn, who share a chemistry in motion that, for a beat or two, conjures the genre’s magic. Read full review

Work It is a fun, mostly entertaining and easily digestible concoction that does everything you expect but well enough for its lack of ingenuity not to matter. Read full review

IndieWire Kate Erbland

The expectations of the genre provide a framework for Work It that both delights (so many dancing montages! all of them fun!) and confounds (a chemistry-less romance). When it dares to break those boxes, however, things get miles more interesting. Read full review

Screen Rant Molly Freeman

Netflix's Work It is bogged down by its trite and wholly unoriginal underdog story, but its charismatic young leads help the movie limp to the end. Read full review

The choreography was exceptional especially TBD's competition dance. Sabrina Carpenter and Liza Koshy's performances were outstanding. The soundtrack was phenomenal. The costumes were stupendous especially on Sabrina Carpenter, Keiynan Lonsdale, Bianca Asilo, Jordan Fisher, Nathaniel Scarlette, and Liza Koshy. The makeup and hairstyling was excellent especially on Sabrina Carpenter, Bianca Asilo, Keiynan Lonsdale, and Liza Koshy. The writing was terrific and very touching. This was an A+ movie.… Expand
