I know it doesn't come out until the yard, but what is your opinion of what you've seen from previews, trailers ect., thus far? I actually saw it on Tues. and was awfully dissapointed. It was a mix of You Got Served and DrumlineI. don't want to spoil anything, but for me it was definitely a let down.

Ummm...I was very disappointed in this movie! After all the hype, I just expected more from it esp. when it comes to steppin'. But I suppose I'm a bit more traditional.

I haven't seen it yet, but I heard there was more dancing than stepping.

It was one of the worst movies ever... mostly because it had such potential to be better with a little more work, but also because it didn't do the greek system ANY justice... whatever tho... At least I can still watch School Daze on VHS/DVD... cuz thats what I did after seeing STY... I went to go do some service, to reassure myself that my organization was not trivialized by the pythons or the werewolves, and then watched a bunch of Step Show tapes and School Daze...

Saw it the other day... definitely worth checking out. I do agree that it had the potential to be more - it seemed like the focus was almost entirely upon preparing for the step show, and references to the purposes of those organizations (brotherhood & service) were added as an afterthought. The actual routines were more dancing than stepping, but still well done. Not to mention the allusions to some of the "traditions" that only hbcu students would recognize. Even so, I hope that movies like this would get students to consider attending a HBCU who may not have thought of it.
