Jamilah has her whole life figured out. She's the president of her black sorority, captain of their champion step dance crew, is student liaison to the college dean, and her next move is on to Harvard Law School. She's got it all, right? But when the hard-partying white girls from Sigma Beta Beta embarrass the school, Jamilah is ordered to come to the rescue. Her mission is to not only teach the rhythmically-challenged girls how to step dance, but to win the Steptacular, the most competitive of dance competitions. With the SBBs reputations and charter on the line, and Jamilah's dream of attending Harvard in jeopardy, these outcast screw-ups and their unlikely teacher stumble through one hilarious misstep after another. Cultures clash, romance blossoms, and sisterhood prevails as everyone steps out of their comfort zones.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

It was good, BUT If you are gonna Say something watch it. I will respect it if you watched the whole thing. Some of you only watched one second and then Say "its not good". Its about stereotypes and not basing people off of them. maybe you don't like it Because ur raciest. take the time to watch it!

The story was painfully fraught with cliche, and most of the acting was wooden and contrived particularly through the first half of the movie.It did bring it home for a feel good, if predictable, ending. I'm not sure I agree that the second half was "good," as other reviewers have suggested, but I wouldn't argue with it being "better" than the first half.

Stomp the Yard has traditionally been one of the best Step Movies yet. But it didn't showcase the talents of the female sororities. I love how this movie focused on integrating stepping between the black and traditionally white sororities. Stepping has been a culture to the black community and this movie showed a comedic and important message on how as millennials it's time to stop claiming black or white but accepting everyone for who they are. Overall great message and fun movie!

"Step Sisters" is an absolute disgrace and an insult to real filmmaking and filmmakers. The "social commentary" here is disgustingly overt and rude to anyone with a functioning brain. It is as if the creators said' "Let's make a movie that just pokes fun at white people and then we'll pretend like we're trying to send a meaningful message about race." Real films like "In The Heat of the Night," Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing," & Jordan Peele's soon to be revered classic, "Get Out" all deliver hard hitting and thoughtful social commentary that provokes thought through the expert use of film as a device. This... Abomination... I don't even know where to begin... We start out with our snotty protagonist who is trying to get into Harvard. She is barely black, incredibly wealthy, has two loving parents & acts and carries herself like a normal respectable being. Why is this girl talking about the plight of being black? Racism is real, yes; but was this affluent snob really the best character to deliver a message about the struggles of race? I live in my deceased Grandfather's 70 year old house, my divorced parents could never possibly afford college for myself and I have been denied every scholarship that I've applied for. I guess my white privilege wasn't enough to get me where I wanted to be in life. So, moving on: Our protagonist is met with a dilemma: If she wants to assure that she is accepted into Harvard (yes, Harvard) she must betray her race and her black sistas by teaching a bunch of uncoordinated, stereotypical, stupid white sorority girls how to step dance for a charity contest. I just lost brain cells explaining the plot. From here on it is just complete stupidity. Our selfless race-traitor protagonist puts her friendships on the line, and her unmatched skill and intellect to use in aiding these white simpletons! Through love and the embrace of white guilt, the ignorant sorority girls are able to grow as step dancers! Screw all of you were involved in the making of this film. This is no "empowerment" or even a brutally release is retelling of history, this is demeaning and idiotic. I wonder what movies got passed on so that this schlock could be made so Netflix could meet their diversity quota.
