I saw the movie with my husband and we both enjoyed it. I think it was done well. I was not feeling the howling though. That was definitely WACK!!

LOL. The howling was wack but the stepping in the BEGINNING of the movie was wacker.

I haven't seen it of yet but heard some reviews which makes one wonder if stepping is all that fraternity life is about and will we be attracting possible members as just a result of that. What also concerned me that on the opening day of the movie it grossed something like 38 million but Sony only gave 650,000! to the Martin Luther King Memorial come on they surely could have gave at least a million!

I try not to judge the charitable actions of others, even Oprah.

<--- Does not know what it takes to make a movie, so I don't assume whether a million is a drop in the bucket or not.

They could have been more charitable -they grossed very well over a million off of those who went to see it.

I'm sure the National MLK Memorial Foundation is grateful for whatever donations they can receive.

...if that's their reason for their interest in A Phi A, they will find those burning sands much too hot. trust.

TonyB,

Bruh, my original issue with this movie was that it may have stood only to de-mystify the power of steppin' and, that it may only attract some whack dudes because that's what they'll be thinking that we stand for, BUT!, I say, let the dudes who'll think, that's what fraternities only exist for, come with those thoughts, and they'll see that the fire associated with being made, can't be summed up in a dance-off styled movie, mang. Like Mystikal said, "this here is real life, this ain't no f#*kin' cartoon". I need to watch my mouf.
