August Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss5 of 18
Work It | Premieres Friday, Aug. 7, on Netflix
Plot: When Quinn Ackerman’s admission to the college of her dreams depends on her performance at a dance competition, she forms a ragtag group of dancers to take on the best squad in school...now she just needs to learn how to dance.
Our Take: Although Work It looks like it systematically checks off every tropey box in a movie about scrappy underdogs going up against the cool/mean kids, that’s pretty much the movie I want in my life right now. Plus, there looks to be a Footloose inspired montage sequence where the cool girl teaches her rhythm-impaired friend how to dance and I am 100% ready for this moment. — Vanessa
