Critics Consensus

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

Peter Bradshaw Guardian An inspirational dance movie, which, like an inspirational sports movie, runs on predictable rails. Mar 16, 2007 Full Review David Jenkins Time Out There's little here for British eyes. Mar 14, 2007 Full Review Stella Papamichael BBC.com The Yard is a minefield of clichés - step at your peril. Rated: 2/5 Mar 13, 2007 Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn 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. Rated: 3/5 Feb 20, 2023 Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn This is an entertaining movie but tonally it is all over the place. The main protagonist isn't exactly the most likable person... Rated: 3/5 Feb 20, 2023 Full Review Joshua Starnes ComingSoon.net 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. Rated: 4/10 Mar 30, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Elijah B With out the subplots this movie would've won awards Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review Malik B 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review Robert M Worst movie ever made. Pure stupidity celebrating a bankrupt culture. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review robert p Just a day time Soap Opera put to a movie makes this an undesirable movie to watch!!
