Review of Stomp the Yard (2007) by Karissa C — 24 Aug 2011

This movie was a pretty standard formula movie - guy starts out a little rough, learns some stuff, gets girl, etc etc. The thing I really liked about the movie is the main character doesn't have any crying in the rain epiphany, he simply becomes a better person by applying himself and deciding to change. What a concept.

The stepping was pretty cool. It wasn't too impressive until the very end, and that was shot and choreographed quite well.

I was warned ahead of time of some inaccuracies within the movie, the biggest being some of the main "college kids" being in their thirties. Who are you trying to fool? It just looked weird.

Stomp the Yard had a nice story, climax, resolution (and well done to Columbus Short for a good performance), but was a little dull at times.
