Stomp the Yard (Widescreen Edition)

When i purchased this blu-ray, it was listed as brand new. When i received it, the disc came in paper sleeve. The blu-ray had fingerprints on the dics. This was defiantly not brand new. I emailed the seller and never got a response. I would not purchase from this seller again.

I was a little dissappointed when we went to watch the movie and the pitchure was scrambled and frames kept freezing. I cleaned it myself but it didn't do the trick. I felt I got what I paid for. Scamed again?! In one last hope I brought it to Game Craze (I love those guys/gals) they buffed if for me in their high powered machine. That is what it needed a good buffing. They normally charge $[...] for the buffing but I had a free buffing card (cuz I'm such a good customer of there's) so it worked out. So for those of you you buy games, movies, music etc. used beware and take it to a pro before you toss it. I think it's worth it even for the $5.

The movie reminds me of home by capturing one the most coveted and praised college activies in the South. Great movie. Awesome sales provider.

I love the movie. I watched it on SKY and just had to get it. Shows how the youth can vent anger and frustration positively. The only thing was that I bought it from America so it won't show in my DVD in England, but it will play on the computer. So make sure if you want to buy this DVD that you make sure you buy the correct version for your region.. but a must have for anyone who loves music and style.

This is an enjoyable movie. The actors all do a very good job -- no small feat considering some of the leads are dancers and not actors -- and of course, the dancing is all it's cracked up to be. The plot is mildly engaging, even though it's thoroughly predictable and has been done over and over. Sometimes characters seemed to change too quickly and do things that were out of character; but plot isn't really what this movie is about. This is a dancing film with a very simple conflict story thrown in -- the kind that usually drives low-brow sports comedies, of underdog team against a dynasty, and two members of those teams having a personal grudge.

Honestly, I didn't start off enjoying this film. I'm not hip enough to keep up with the gangsta dance battle that takes place at the beginning of the film, especially the way the camera was jerking around; I had a hard time distinguishing between dancers, etc. and was not anywhere near familiar enough with the dancing to have any kind of sense for who was better or why. But I did end up liking (not loving) the film by the end. And I do appreciate artistically the way the director deftly changed the whole look and mood of the movie from the dangerous street dancing in the opening's gangland LA to the more peaceful intensity of the rest of the movie's Georgia college setting. It helped lend a sense of repressed danger to Columbus Short's lead character that made the threats of his frat-boy enemies seem disingenuous.

Short, by the way, turns in a quiet performance in the most critical role that really glues the film together.

To summarize, this film is worth a look as a rental. Whether or not you want to own it would depend on how much you enjoy the dancing sequences.
