Info

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.

Stomp the Yard Audience Reviews

Wordiezett So much average
Nonureva Really Surprised!
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Eyahf_21 Another typical dance-musical movie, there's the drama and romance of course.At first, I found the choreography unfussy and nothing unique. On the later part, I found the Step moves extra ordinary and brilliant combination.I came to noticed that When Chris Brown was shot, nobody was there to console except for he's brother. I mean why does they're crew mate gone.I found no chemistry between Meagan and Columbus but as individual, they did well. Chris Brown performance in this film was notable. Ne-Yo was a good supporting cast.The cinematography and music were not bad, so-so.I found the climax notable because of the emotion divulges and he finally took responsible for his mistake in the past that result to the death of his younger brother. The ending was quite predictable besides of winning the competition he finally learns to think not only himself or his pride but also for the sake and success of his team. VERDICT:The story was typical, same old drama and romantically involved. Street dancers got into trouble, riot with other crew. Brother's friendship, younger brother dies.It reminded me of those dance flick movie such as you got served and drum line.However, still this movie was exceptional because the writers showed On how the guy changes his life by making best decision in life. On how he prevails over he's pride. That beyond the rivalry and competition, he pledge to the fraternity of a lifetime. That beyond the tradition, what matter is how the brotherhood helps each other to become a better man:+++
Nick de la Fonteyne I'll just start out with saying that I've watched this movie in the same week as I watched Drumline, for the second time. This movie just didn't surprise me, it was just like watching Drumline, but just in another outfit, the storyline is almost the same, but the movie still amused me.The acting is this movie is decent, but the dancing was just great! And that's the only reason I finished watching the movie.If you want to watch a great movie, well this ain't it. If you want to see some great dancing, you should watch this movie!I gave this movie a 7 out of 10, because of the 'decent' acting and the great dance moves.
in_flames_rules Alright let's get this straight...last night my girlfriend actually got me to see this movie that was ''SOOOOOOOO BRILLIANT SO FUN AND SOO GOOD'' ...So Damn !! I just watched it, who actually would refuse to see a movie that someone tells you is good...well Don't DO IT, just don't watch stomp the yard ...first of all, the plot is very easy to figure out, and by easy I mean like 10 minutes after you pushed the start movie button... You see this black guy who always danced and stuff..his cousin gets killed by some white ass guy who had been defeated in a break dance competition ...(omg wtf, it's like killing someone for having lost at chest ....eeew...) and after that the black guy doesn't want to dance anymore but you actually know he will, only by the title of this piece of garbage...So after that, the main character called DJ goes to a new city a new school, you know a really really original introduction to a movie... So it's really easy to know at the beginning that DJ is gonna be the leader of a break dance team, he's gonna have to defeat a rival break dance team, Screw the other team's captain girl, and make his cousin special move to win the competition... I know I only bitched at the movie, but it his hard to describe how bad it is... SO I will only tell you what was good, the main title and the ending credits.... for anything else... the acting is bad, the plot is bad, the main story is bad, it deserve minus 1000000, it's almost worst than Paris Hilton's the hottie and the nottie... don't rent this, don't watch this just act like you've never heard of it....
Bill Jordan I'm often baffled at the ratings that some of the movies end up with out here. This movie is far better than a 3+. Unfortunately, I didn't catch the very beginning, but what I did see was entertaining and well-acted, just what one would usually expect from a film of any sort. Sure, the story's been told, as most stories have, but they all have something a little unique to offer. The dance sequences weren't necessarily awe-inspiring, but they also weren't drawn out so long as to bore you. All in all, I enjoyed this picture. My perspective comes from that of a middle-aged white guy, so it might be quite different from yours.
