Stomp The Yard (DVD)

DJ Williams is a hell of a dancer but his arrogance gets his younger brother killed. To make amends, DJ decides to live his brother’s dream of getting out of LA and going to college. There his skills on the dance floor bring him to the attention of the leaders of the university’s two stepping teams. Both think he has what it takes to win him the national championship, but DJ’s more interested in keeping his head down and making a play for beautiful ...
...discovers what teamwork is all about. I have a guilty secret and that is that I love inspirational dance movies like “Save the Last Dance” or “Take the Lead”. They are all so predictable, usually feature dancers that can’t act or actors that can’t dance, but are supremely reassuring because you know exactly what’s going to happen. The same can certainly be said of “Stomp the Yard”, but it lacks the finesse to be a truly enjoyable example of the ...

Review of Stomp The Yard (DVD)

...I had high hopes for Stomp The Yard, unfortunately it didn’t quite step up the plate (no pun intended). Stomp The Yard is your typical, predictable, clichéd but to some degree amusing dance film that encapsulates everything about the genre which usually provides the right ingredients for me to revel in a film of this genus. For example you have the down and out kid who looks like he’s going nowhere in life, he moves in with some wealthy relatives ...
...a girl who, surprise surprise already has a boyfriend who yet again coincidentally happens to be the leader of a dance crew. I could go on but it would take all day, I wish just for once there could be a dance film that would break away from all the old and tired stereotypes. Infact these days all dance flicks are so similar that I’ve pretty much stopped watching them. Since Dirty Dancing was released in the late 80’s every dance film since has tried ...

Review of Stomp The Yard (DVD)

I got this DVD for Christmas, expecting it to be a bit 'save the last dance' and 'step up'. I was very disappointed and nearly turned it off half way through. The story line was quite poor, kind of what you expected from this sort of film, boy gets in trouble, boy meets girl, few more troubles but all well in the end. That's what I sort of like from these types of films but it just was very poor. Just could not keep my interest. I normally like ...
...start with some really good dancing and music fits right in. But the middle was lacking, dance wise and music wise. The main male character should be good looking but didn't do it for me or have any other appeal. There wasn't really a dangerous sexy side to him, very plain jane. The main female was better, stands her ground and is a good role model. I would not recommend buying this, maybe rent it first and see if you like it. But I can see most ...

If your into Honey, Step Up and all of the dancing type films, this is another great addition! Funny, dramatic, entertaining and has some catchy beats and tunes that will have you humming along, definatley the best dance film out yet since Honey. And whats more, it features two well known music stars, Chris Brown and Ne-Yo. A definate buy for the girls and guys out there who know or love to dance. The DVD feature enables you to skip back to the ...
