Go For It - Cliche Storyline with Weak Dance Routine

Go For It (US)
Synopsis:
This dance flick revolves around Carmen who is from Mexico, now living in Chicago with her parents, dad (works as a garbage collector), mum (housewife) and 2 brothers (older & younger). Her family is pinning on her to be more successfully than them, by getting an education and perhaps makes a good living than them. However, Carmen has a great interest in dancing and mostly out dancing in the underground clubs thus, affected her education and got into troubles with petty issues. However, Carmen's professor saw the potential in her and encourage her to enrolled in a prestigious dance school in California.

However, when things turns for the worse with Gina's death due to severe beating from her cocaine-smoking boyfriend and Jared's cheating on her, she decided to finally improve her life by attending the audition for the dance school, much to the delight of her parents, brothers and her professor.   
Review:
For quite awhile, i kept thinking when will we have a good dance flick which combines good / decent storyline and a good dance routine. I doubt this will happen soon by judging from this movie goes. In fact, i think it will be a long long time before we see any good dance flick. Step Up 2 was an okay movie with cool slick dance but still the same cliche' story line. Go For It! is also the same tempo - with rag to riches theme of a girl with no hope for the future but a good dancer searching for her dream.  Is all dance flick all about rags to riches? There must be some good decent story that they can churn up. Lets move back to this movie acting by first pointing out that Aimee Garcia as Carmen does not looks her age as a student, her looks are more of a 24 to 28 years old and her acting is extremely bad. I felt that Gina Rodriguez as her best friend, Gina is more quirky and portray better emotional expression than Carmen amid only few screen time. So, perhaps with the bad acting and weak storyline, the dance routine will cover-up all the weakness in this film. Most dance flicks banks in on their dance routine to make the movie more sell-able. But, the dance routine in this movie is bad. There are only 4 dance routine - including Carmen's solo audition and out of these, only 2 dances are worth mentioning (final dance battle & Carmen solo). Amid all the dances are performed by females, but the energy is not there and the dance routine were made like a copy-cat Step-Up 3D: In your face style routine but failed miserable. The only one good thing about this movie is the capturing of the movie itself - it looks expensive and almost have Hollywood kind of production.  
Verdict:
I give this a 1 star out of 5.
