Stomp the Yard (2007)
Very Entertaining!
From the "krumping" at the beginning to the "Step" competition at the end, the movie was very entertaining!
The plot was completely predictable - kind of a mixture of "Drumline", "Bring it On", heck any bad boy/girl leaves 'hood joins team and learns to play well with others movie.
But the film was a lot of fun to watch and brought well deserved attention to "stepping" at HBCU's (historically black colleges and universities)
As a Mom, I appreciated the positive messages about higher education.
If you've seen the fascinating David LaChapelle documentary "Rize," you'll recognize some of the krumpers/steppers, "Miss Prissy" and "Tight Eyez". My teenagers were thrilled to see them again, even though they had minor roles.
Be Cool (2005)
pretty good
Travolta was wooden.
The dance scene was okay.
The performances by Vince Vaughn, The Rock and Andre 3000 were screamingly funny!
Also, I enjoyed the music and it was great to see Sergio Mendes again.
I also never thought I'd use the phrase "restrained Cedric the Entertainer" in a sentence, but he was - and he was also hilarious.
Plot? Well, not much and not as good as the original. But that didn't affect my enjoyment of the film on an entirely different level.
I recommend it.
