DJ was not a likable protagonist but luckily it is an enjoyable film to watch. It also doesn't hurt that Meagan Good is in this and gets to shine.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 20, 2023

This is an entertaining movie but tonally it is all over the place. The main protagonist isn't exactly the most likable person...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 20, 2023

It's a little bit of a musical, a little bit of a sports film, a little bit coming-of-age story. And none of it, beyond the dancing, any good.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Mar 30, 2011

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 7, 2008

... the film as a whole lacks the energy of its dance numbers.

At a time of year when theaters are filled with flashy, fun, but empty offerings, Stomp The Yard is a surprisingly satisfying alternative.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 25, 2007

It's not a great movie, no, and maybe not even a particularly good one. But it's likable and unassuming, and the dancing is off the hook, or whatever the kids are saying these days.

| Original Score: B- | May 14, 2007

There is so much yet so little on the screen: so much movement and action, but so little to cling on to. So much angst, so little context.

| Apr 8, 2007

An inspirational dance movie, which, like an inspirational sports movie, runs on predictable rails.

| Mar 16, 2007

The dynamic dance sequences have all the right moves, but there's precious little to hold the attention once the music stops.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 16, 2007

Driven along by a decent cast who really turn it on during the musical moments, letting their steps tell the story.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 16, 2007

The performances are good but the heavily cliched script ensures that there's very little of interest here, unless you're a massive stepping fan.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 15, 2007

There's little here for British eyes.

| Mar 14, 2007

The Yard is a minefield of clichés - step at your peril.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 13, 2007

Decidely average teen drama but with a few decent dance numbers.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 13, 2007

Sylvain White should be chained to a chair...for the migraine-inducing crimes he commits, which rob the numbers of any joy or human flavor they might have possessed.

| Mar 1, 2007

If there is any sort of cultural relevance to be found in a movie like Stomp the Yard, it's that spectacles don't even matter anymore: We just need the possibility of a spectacle.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 12, 2007

The plot was stomped on a bit, but it is watchable.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 4, 2007

Benign nonsense.

| Original Score: 2/6 | Feb 3, 2007

You will never see stomping like this as I'm sure it took months of training to pull off all these incredible dance scenes.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 29, 2007
