beforehand notification represent i be sure someone be go to accuse me of play the race card here and but when i saw the preview for this movie and i be think finally . i have yet to see one movie about popular african influence dance ( be it popular hip hop move and break and or step ) where the main character be a black woman . i have see an excessive amount of movie where a non black woman who know nothing about hip hop come fresh to the hood and do a mediocre job of it ( breakin and breakin 2 and save the last dance and step up ) and but the black woman in the film be almost nonexistent . that always bother me consider so much of hip hop and african influence dance and and breaking be with black and latino in massive amount in these particular set and it wasn not always men who perform it and so i felt this movie have be a long time come . however and the race do not make the film and so i also want it to carry a believable plot while the dance be entertain while and interesting to watch . pros represent i really enjoy this film bring jamaican culture . i can not recall ever see a popular and mainstream film where all the main character be jamaican while have believable accent while and weren not stereotypical with the beany . the stepper and family and friend and and even the thug be all really intelligent and realistic people who be try to love and live and and survive in the neighborhood they live in by do something positive . even when the audience be make aware that the main character sister choose an alternate lifestyle and it still do not make the plot stereotypical . i be satisfy with the way it be portray . i love the step while the romantic flirty relationship go on between two stepper while the trial that the main character parent be go through while and how she deal with come back to her old neighborhood and deal with crab in a barrel . i respect that she be so intelligent and active at the same time and and so many other sistas in the film be handle themselves in the step world . they be all just as excellent a the fella . i do not see that in too many movie nowadays and at least not those that would be consider black film . con represent i be not quite sure why the director or whoever put the movie together do this and but i question whether they have be to real step show . whenever the stepper get ready to perform and some hip hop song would play in place of the stepper hand or foot beat . at a real step show and there be zero need for music and other than to maybe entertain the crowd in between group . and then when hip hop song be play and sometimes the beat to the song be off to the beat of the stepper hand and foot . it be awkward . i be more impressed with the stepping in this movie versus stomp the yard ( another great stepping movie ) because the woman get to represent as fierce a the guy ( in stomp the yard and meagan good get all of a few second of some prissy twirl and hair flip and the ( delta . ) let out a chant and a few step and be cut immediately ) . even when there be very small scene and the lady tear it up and especially in the auto shop and and it be without all that music to drown out their physical music . i know soundtrack have to be sell and but the movie folk could have play the music in other part of the film . i be not a keyshia cole fan and so every time i saw her and all i keep thinking be be it write in the script for her to constantly put her hand on her hip when she talk . she look uncomfortable on screen to me . i think they should have use a host like free or rocsi instead . deray davis be funny a usual though . also and i groan when i find out that the movie be suppose to be in the ghetto and like step couldn not possibly happen anywhere else . hollywood and a usual . however and only a couple of people be portray a excessively ignorant due to their neighborhood and loser and which mainstream movie tend to do . i would have give this movie five star and but the music playing kill it for me . i definitely plan to buy it when it come out and hopefully the bonus scene will include the actual step show without all the song .
