Stomp the Yard, B-I was the only white man in a sold out theater. The experience of watching this movie was heightened so much more seeing to played for its target demographic. As good as Soul Plane was, I think I would have enjoyed it more in the theater (seriously, I'm kidding, settle down).
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? I can tell how old someone is and 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, so it gets a B-.
