(1 - 13) of 13 OFCS Rating: 15% Rotten Page   1   C+ "We have drugs, gangs, guns, and rock n' roll, but dancing is a form of street toughness? What's next, to-the-death tickle matches?"   OhmyNews.com   Brian Orndorf 2/5 "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."   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin C "What newbie screenwriter Robert Adetuyi and music video director Sylvain White intend is to reinvent the clunky step moves as an extension of freestyle hip-hop under an umbrella of collegiate comradeship."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 1.5/4 "Too transparent and unintentionally silly to accept all of its faux-sincere message-making."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 2/4 "The film stumbles whenever it fraudulently gives daily life at Truth University the sound and sheen of a Coldplay music video."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B- "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."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider "... the film as a whole lacks the energy of its dance numbers."   DVD Review   Felix Gonzalez Jr. C "A step up from the run of fare ordinarily targeted at the so-called urban audience...But it doesn't step up far enough."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "The plot was stomped on a bit, but it is watchable."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 1.5/4 "Why pretend that This Is Important, that all the lingering shots of Meagan Good's butt, macho bull**** and endless step lines Mean Something?"   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 2/5 "Clearly, someone is getting served here but it certainly isn’t the audience."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 6/10 "Frenetic, raucous, exhilarating fable about finding your place in a group."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 1.5/4 "Unlike Spike Lee's School Daze, Stomp the Yard barely explores the social dynamics of its university setting beyond the fraternities' 'step' competition."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight  (1 - 13) of 13 OFCS Rating: 15% Rotten Page   1
