Earnest and sympathetic but unsophisticated.

New York Times

An unpretentious rite-of-passage drama whose merits belie the banality of its title.

Rated: 3.5/5

Go For It! never manages to conjure an iota of the joyful exuberance that enlivens even the most formulaic dance films.

Aimee Garcia is always good, but the dancing is nothing special and the story is about as original as the movies name.

So unbelievably dull. There was nothing that makes this stand out from other films. Turned it off half way through.

Was hoping this would be a good sleeper dance movie, but it wasn't. It was slow moving a little rocky and doesn't work well.
