Is there any doubt that the new movie “Stomp the Yard” is basically “You Got Served” The Sequel? Or the fact that it’s going to follow every “urban movie” cliche (gangs, troubled youth, street violence) and sports movie cliche (the kid who can’t compete because of a past trauma, the music-filled training montage, the Big Game)? “You Got Served” had me laughing my ass off at the absurdity of what the filmmakers were trying to shove down our throats. I get the feeling “Stomp the Yard” is going to be equally funny. Unintentionally, of course.
Here’s the plot description from IMDB.com:
“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.”
Have you ever heard of something so ridiculous? Anyways, at least it’s better than the idiotic “Drumline”, where they tried to make band cool. I hope they don’t try to feed the audience a Token White Kid who has no rhythm, but learns to develop rhythm by the end of the movie. Just like “You Got Served”, this movie is gonna be a hoot and a half.
Holla!
