Good flick
I saw the movie and yes, it was a blend of "Drumline" and "You Got Served".
Entertaining, kept my attention, and yes IMHO it was way too predictable.
The traditional Black Greeks were definately in it, but in a genericized way; hence the generic (read: no identifying letters or symbols) Phi Beta Sigma sheild. I saw every NPHC org "representing" in it except for Iota and Zeta.
And Meagan Good? Well, quite honestly I found her more in the film as eye candy and not much else. Her acting skills are a'ight, but not very impressive IMHO.
So would I go see it again? Yeah I would.

Agreed. I could predict the next scene everytime. But it's the integration of stepping and dance moves and the rivalry with the Darren's Dance Grooves dude that kept my interest.

It was supposed to be generic to the point where those who know who they are could identify them based on what was displayed in the movie. I could've sworn I saw some Zetas strolling at the stepshow part.

I saw the movie on Friday night, and I wore my beautiful Apple Green Alpha Kappa Alpha jacket to show my support. To my surprise, there were quite a few Greeks sporting their symbols at the theatre. A Que, A Sigma, some Deltas and my sister and I (AKA's). There was even a step exhibition in the movie theatre lobby..
The movie was cute. Not a classic, not deep, but not totally lame either. IT is NOT a movie about GREEKS people. It is a coming of age story about a young man that HAPPENS to pledge while in college. His Greekdom is INTERGRATED into the story, but it is NOT the main focus of the movie, so please don't go expecting to see a documentary about us or stepping.
That is all.

the movie wasn't bad, but it lacked depth and was s bit contrived, in my opinion.

They say that if you're gonna step then stomp like an elephant. BTW, thanks for yesterday.

man, 22 million in opening weekend. cant say im entirely surprised opening at number one. the yahoo link seems to be suggesting that high sales could be linked to it opening on MLK weekend, but come on. this movie has been hyped for months. it was going to debut at #1 anyway. i give it props for doing so at #1 for the fact that its January and most movies that premiere this time of year flop.

I just saw this movie and I loved it. I went just to support a Black film and I really love stepping. I was surprised that I actually thought it was a good film. My chapter made is a Delta night out and we brought inactive sorors. So we were Delta deep up in there, as well as a couple of Alpha and Omega spouses. I would go see this movie again to keep it at the number one spot. Favorite scene: when DJ out danced each city at the club to "Walk It Out!" Hot!

I went to see this movie last night and enjoyed it...It definitely made me reminisce on my college days especially since they filmed it at Morris Brown....It's not a deep movie...but definitely something that our young folks can appreciate...Hubby and I kept saying we hope that it will inspire some folks to go off to college...I LOVE how DJ was always in his books

FWIW, my local news hyped this movie up on Friday as the "weekend movie to see" - which was surprising to me considering this city is only 8% black.
I was just surprised....

Just saw it. In the beginning, I wasn't feeling it but as the movie moved along it got better.
The stepping (towards the end) wasn't bad either. The trailers didn't do it any justice.
Darren's character was a total @$$hole.  I was glad when Megan told him off.
The president of Theta CAN. GET. IT. DJ and the president of the Mus were cute as well.
I saw the many fraternities and sororities in the movies. The sorors were representing.
It was a nice coming-of-age movie and it just so happened that the guy was in a fraternity. And nobody mentoned the cameo from Keith Sweat!
