What to Know

Critics Consensus

While Stomp the Yard contains impressive musical and dance numbers, it loses its momentum during the intervening soap opera-style subplots.

DJ was not a likable protagonist but luckily it is an enjoyable film to watch. It also doesn't hurt that Meagan Good is in this and gets to shine. Go to Full Review
