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.

tony-1774 I give it a 2 because there have been worse movies. But, for the most part it was really bad. That being said, if you are a young teen who is into movies like "You Got Served" (which definitely rates a 1 as one of the worst ever), you will like this movie. Granted, the film is not full of really good actors either. Sure, Chris Brown is in it, but, that may be it's only highlight. Even he fails to perform up to snuff, but, he did have a few good moments. There were a few steps that were good, but, there wasn't anything really unique. In fact, the front step kick in Karate Kid was a lot more unique than anything I saw in here for it's time. Roller dancing films, break dancing films and now this film. That's what type of film it was.

Kristine When I think of these movies like How She Move or You Got Served, I always thought they would be ignorant and just celebrating the "gangsta" rap life style and would be a waste of good film. But for some reason I decided to just go ahead and see what these films were like, I had nothing better to do, I was expecting bad, but guess what?! I actually liked it! I couldn't believe it, I mean, I really did like Stomp the Yard. There's really not anything wrong with the film, while it is predictable, it's definitely better than most films. I'm actually disgusted with a lot of the users who rated this movie a one just because of it's theme, I just stayed away because I thought I wouldn't like the film, but I wouldn't rate it before I saw it. But honestly I'm glad I decided to give it a chance, it has decent enough actors and an inspiring story to follow.DJ and his brother, along with a few friends, they are in an underground street dance group, one night it goes bad though. After DJ and his brother win, their group gets jumped and DJ's brother is shot and killed. DJ goes to Atlanta to go to school, he meets April, a beautiful young woman and wants to do better for her, his family, for his brother, and for himself. He joins a fraternity that is into dancing, together they bring themselves into the championship. But another fraternity wants DJ out and will do anything to bring him down.Now when I watched this film I had very low expectations, like I said before, it's a film that just naturally seems like it's going to be bad. But it's actually a decent film and I'm just disappointed with the rating here on IMDb. The film has good acting, a decent story, and incredible dance moves. The actor Columbus Short who played DJ was great, he didn't over play the role and didn't under do it either. I would recommend Stomp the Yard, I ended up really liking it, just give it a chance, when you look at it, you realize it's a good film.6/10

justenjoyit Yes this movie was the clichéd "rich boyfriend doesn't pay attention to girlfriend and therefore doesn't really know or love her, poor, new guy that worships her makes her see that and they get together". But many seem to let this blindside them from the fact that this was a GOOD movie. Not amazing actors with an original plot, clever dialogue, and surprising twists. But a good movie with quality actors that showcased themes such as personal growth, the importance of unity and brotherhood in black fraternities, all fraternities I'm sure but black fraternities exclusively compete in step, and the identification of oneself with their history. And the intense dancing and step obviously deserves credit. It's just stupid and biased to give a GOOD movie anything less than a good or average rating. So in all fairness, I tried to balance it out.
