How long can you listen to banging?May 10, 2010
My younger boy, apparently, for a loooong time. This is definitely getting your money's worth of entertainment. I enjoy the artistry, creativity and the musicality of Stomp, but after a while, I was ready for a break! Definitely worth purchasing.
 No complaints. .Apr 14, 2010
I purchased this movie for my daughter and it arrived relatively fast and in the condition specified. She's very happy with it, which means I am too!
I actually liked this...Mar 22, 2010
Yeah, I'm kind of shocked too. I mean, I like stuff like this sometimes, but as a rule I usually avoid these kinds of films. It just so happened that my wife was sick and in bed this weekend and happened to watch this film simply because there was nothing else on. I came in about halfway through and it sparked my interest, so I made her rewind and we watched it together.
I'd watch it again.
The story is very much `Romeo + Juliet' meets `Drumline', with MTV editing and a whole lot of `stank face', but that combination works rather well here. I wasn't a fan of `Drumline', but this one kept my attention.
When DJ's brother is shot and killed, he finds himself living with his aunt and uncle. Hoping for a better life, with a good education, DJ's uncle pulls some strings and gets him into Truth University. Immediately, DJ finds that he doesn't quite fit in, or maybe it's that he fits in too well. He makes rivals with an arrogant `stepper' named Grant who happens to be dating mega-hottie April, who seems to have eyes for DJ. When DJ is pressured to pledge with the fraternity Grant is a member of, he opts to join his rival, using their tradition of `step' competitions (an aggressive hip-hop, krump-like dance style) as a way to `battle' his new adversary. All the while, DJ is pining for April's affections, causing issues with DJ's education, especially when her father gets word and pushes to have DJ expelled.
But love, and dance, prevail.
The storyline is a tad overdone, but it works here thanks to some high intensity dance sequences, some really good acting and some sizzling chemistry. Columbus Short can dance and act, which is a plus here. He has a `Vin Deisel' baritone and a smooth delivery (not to mention some modelesque good looks) that makes him rather irresistible, and his screen partner (the ubber-gorgeous Meagan Good) is more than enough hotness to make them a tantalizing couple. You just WANT to watch them. Darrin Henson is a pretty bad actor, but he's a convincing dancer, so he's forgivable. I really liked Brian White here too. He has a suave yet commanding presence.
And then you have the killer dance scenes that just get better and better as the film progresses.
Yes, `Stomp the Yard' is brainless at times and even a tad corny (the forced sense of `tension' in the films finale is rather laughable) but it also has rare and unexpected moments of touching and moving `heart' (the "I love you" even made my wife go "WOW") and for a film claiming to offer a fun, good time, `Stomp the Yard' definitely does what it sets out to do.
Excellent!Feb 18, 2010
STOMP THE YARD... A riveting, musical/dance extravaganza! The plot is captivating; acting is competent/compelling; and dance is mesmeric. Soulful, stylish and ala mode, the frenetic, "Stomp the Yard" surpassed my expectations. As a screenwriter, I wished that I wrote it. I hope that the writer/director will imbue society with more films portraying and depicting dignity, pride, harmony and triumph.

After the death of his younger brother, a troubled 19-year-old street dancer from Los Angeles is able to bypass juvenile hall by enrolling in the historically black, Truth University in Atlanta, Georgia. But his efforts to get an education and woo the girl he likes are sidelined when he is courted by the top two campus fraternities, both of which want and need his fierce street-style dance moves to win the highly coveted national step show competition.
I really enjoyed this movie, and I appreciated the fact that lessons could be learned from such a movie. In my opinion it is a must see if you want a refreshing change. A nod must be given to choreographer Dave Scott, who skillfully blends the dance styles into an explosive whole.
