New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley

The good part is that the drama should be fun to watch for us. And for the guy at Pizza Shack, too.

Entertainment WeeklyTanner Stransky

Make It is silly, melodramatic fun--and will score big-time with viewers from the fanatical Shawn Johnson set.

VarietyBrian Lowry

Not everything works--starting with the split-screen gymnastics footage--but there are enough juicy bits here to forge a solid foundation with plenty of plot tendrils.

Los Angeles TimesMary McNamara

No doubt there will be many lessons about the importance of pulling together and being true to oneself, etc., but Make It or Break It seems prepared to take on not only the obvious Life Lessons but also the crucial undercurrents that move so many lives well into adulthood. And that, as much as the graceful wonder of gymnastics, will make it worth watching.

Philadelphia Daily NewsEllen Gray

There's very little that's unexpected in Make It, including the obvious editing of the gymnastics performances. But Emily's a tough character who's easy to root for.

Boston GlobeLaura Bennett

Despite its fancy flips and dizzy floor routines, Make It is unconvincing as a portal into this subculture and numbingly hollow as a commentary on teenage life.
