A GRIND: Mary Elizabeth Winstead in Make It Happen

Friday August 8,2008

By Allan Hunter

(Cert PG; 90 mins)

IF YOU’VE seen Flashdance or Coyote Ugly then there’s a fair chance it will feel as if you’ve already seen Make It Happen.

Strictly formula fare, this tale of a naive country girl chasing her big dreams stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead as aspiring dancer Lauryn.

When she fails her audition for the Chicago School Of Music And Dance, it looks like it’s all over for our gal until she meets the friendliest little waitress in the world and gets a job as a bookkeeper at a burlesque club.

You just know it won’t be long before she’s bumping and grinding to the applause of the crowd.
