Shawn's How She Move Review

2008 Movie #14 - How She Move

This movie wasn't included in the schedule listed at the start of the month but since it was playing in about 1,600 theatres it counted as a release that I was required to see in this quest. Lucky me....

First off, let it be said that I have absolutely no interest in any movie like this one. You Got Served, Stomp the Yard, Step Up (and of course the upcoming sequel), I just have no interest in any of them, despite having watched the first two. I know a lot of people enjoy them purely for the dancing, which even I'll admit can be pretty cool, but overall even the dancing does nothing to pull me into these types of movies. It especially doesn't help that the plot and characters that attempt to hold it all together between dance sequences are usually not only not interesting, but just completely dull.

That just about sums up How She Move. The plot and characters are just not interesting to watch. It's not that it's horrible, it's just so completely dull that it really isn't anything. The dancing sequences, while undeniably impressive, aren't even as good as some of the other movies in this genre. Therefore it's simply not worth wading through all of the generic plotlines and what not to get to them.

The dialogue is essentially the same story, very uninteresting. Again, I really have nothing further to say about this movie. Again I may have gone into it kind of biased since I have no interest at all in these movies, but the movie still did nothing to impress me. I was bored throughout and was honestly excited for this movie to end. Wow, it's really hard to write reviews for movies unless I either loved them or violently disliked them.

Well that wraps up January. Stay tuned for my month in review, as well as my preview of the shitfest that appears to be February.
