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.
