(skip to bottom for easy explanation)
After the death of his younger brother, a troubled 19-year-old street dancer from Los Angeles is able to bypass juvenile hall by enrolling in the historically black, Truth University in Atlanta, Georgia. But his efforts to get an education and woo the girl he likes are sidelined when he is courted by the top two campus fraternities, both of which want and need his fierce street-style dance moves to win the highly coveted national step show competition.
All in all, most people could have seen this movie, a remix of "You got served"+ "Drum line"...and in reality, it is that but yet again far away from it. I enjoyed this one, which I've been wanting to see since i first saw the previews. It pertained a lot of good dancing, and some stepping as well.
in this movie, the beginning kinda made me feel a tad bit motion-sick with all the seeming fast forward effects added to the dancers,almost to the effect of matrix time on extacy. it didn't last long however and the movie really got into full stride. A lot of great dancing.
all in all, even though predictable, it was still an enjoyable movie, defiantly see with friends and crack jokes. i had the fortunate chance of watching this one with a lot of my friends who are in Omega Psi Phi Fraternity(ΩΨΦ ) and we had a blast. A lot better than the yahoo ratings of a C+ LINK
In short, i enjoyed it, lots of good dancing/stepping, have fun with it...enjoy.

I honestly can say that as long as I live I will never see or have any kind of urge to see that movie.

This movie was absolutely nuts. The last dance routine at the very end had the theatre i watched it in going bananas... I watched it with some of my friends who i dance with at the club... needless to say.. we were all wow-ed...
kssssssssssss
Pythons up
(my friends opinion from myspace)
yes, the movie is the ishhh. ..talking bout the dancing ,acceptance of the black heritage and college, what it is to step, and a fraternity and what it means to be true........basic story line of love, devotion, pride, outlaw, and divide and conquer.

This should not be a movie. I would never pay 7-8 bucks to see this movie. Ever. You could either rent this or go to the matinee if you ever have the urge to waste your money on this, it comes out to about the same price.
P.S. Unfortunately I DID waste 7-8 bucks to see Alpha Dog. That movie sucks too take my advice and don't go.

question, if a 2 hour long movie was just terrible but had 10 minutes of really good stuff....is it a good movie or one of those things you'd rather wait till that scene is on youtube???Obstacles cannot crush me.
