Stomp my brain!

That's exactly what I was thinking for the first 10 minutes or so of the movie 'Stomp the yard'

Hmmm... heres a teeny riddle for you...
What do you get when you cross a Cheerleading competition movie with an all male cast of African-Americans???
*ding ding ding* You get Stomp the Yard!!! Ha ha!

Well okay... the movie wasnt all that bad... then again it wasn't all that great either.

Its a typical Black movie setup against 'Stepping' (a style of dance done in African-American fraternities). Its hopelessly cliched and tragically stereotyped. Everything tried and tested was there. I could literally predict whats gonna happen next. It starts off with a street dancing challenge that involved money, and later a gun! Needless to say the leading guy's brother dies in the process. The lead gets into trouble with the law, goes into depression and is shipped off to college.

At his new college 'Stepping' is quite the rage. On his very first day at college he falls in love with a girl, and chases after her and ends up stepping on some pretty important toes (heh heh just couldn't resist that) He challenges the girl's boyfriend (who is the star stepper of one of the campus frats) at a club and wins, but then again the challenge was more free style dancing and this was the leads speciality. Note: notice how I'm not doing names? Thats cos i don't remember and more importantly dont care!)

Winning the challenge was the best thing that happened to the guy since he discovered he had legs. Now teh two leading frats want him to join them. The rest of the story is pretty similar to 'Bring it on' and 'Bring it on again' (Cheerleading movies)

The lead is the typical underdog; he's egotistical, misunderstood and restless and you're rooting for him to win - which he does! Big surprise there!

The movie is at the most mediocre anything else i say will neither exalt nor depriciate it. So I'm gonna stop ranting bout it now and go watch 'Jumpin' which is about get this JUMPING ROPES!!! Cool huh!
