Critics Consensus

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

An inspirational dance movie, which, like an inspirational sports movie, runs on predictable rails.

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.

This is an entertaining movie but tonally it is all over the place. The main protagonist isn't exactly the most likable person...

It's a little bit of a musical, a little bit of a sports film, a little bit coming-of-age story. And none of it, beyond the dancing, any good.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

This is a great movie. It's very motivational, inspirational, dramatic and heartwarming. The battles are so off the chain that they tell a story by themselves.

"A troubled street dancer".....wow, what ex Hollywood executive green lit this hot mess. Dance movies in the 21st century are just bad.

Muy aburrida y los bailes, el punto fuerte de este tipo de películas, no son nada del otro mundo
