Keith David (Chance's uncle) is a fine actor, but this script did not give him sufficient latitude to flex his acting muscle like I've seen in other films. Other than the two cameos by DJ, this movie has nothing worthwhile to offer, and it can't end soon enough. I could tell you how it ends, but suffice it to say that the ending is just as shallow and blah as most of the film. (By the way, I half-way expected to see a wedding ring on DJ's finger, as an allusion to his relationship with his girlfriend April (Meagan Good) from the first movie. Sorry, sports fans, you don't get to see DJ dance in this film - he's just there as an alumnus for moral support. DJ gives another short speech before the final competition - likewise gratifying to watch. His performance is a much-needed breath of fresh air for this film, which has been drowning for a while. In the midst of this situation, DJ Williams (Columbus Short) has a cameo appearance, in which he talks for maybe a minute or two. This is a big detriment to movie, having an unlikeable main character.ĭue to some unscrupulous characters from the opening scene that have put Chance in a compromising situation, Chance is faced with a dilemma about whether or not he should dance in the final competition. All of his problems are brought upon himself due to his own self-focus. At odds with his father, caught up in romantic. But he’s too caught up in his own problems to focus. The Theta Nus are counting on new pledge Chance Harris (Collins Pennie) to lead the team to victory. Unlike the original movie, in which DJ played a highly talented, considerate, and likable person who had integrity and showed he could learn from his selfish behavior from the past, Chance is neither talented nor likable. In the countdown to a national step-off, rivalries at Truth University run red hot. Some family tension with his uncle, played by Keith David (the ONLY recognizable actor in the movie, other than Columbus Short), accounts for another ho-hum and unoriginal sub-plot.Ī few words on Chance as the main character should be offered. ![]() This sub-plot doesn't add anything to the movie, due to the shallow depth of the character development and the unoriginal and typical course of events. A love triangle is portrayed between his current love interest (girlfriend?) and an old flame (who manages to throw herself at Chance while keeping it a secret from her current boyfriend). Next, we're introduced to Chance's environment at work and school. Stomp the Yard 2: Homecoming Tika Sumpter Keith David Jasmine Guy Rob Hardy. He has one trick move (a flip of some kind), and the rest of his repertoire is nothing impressive - not even by local dance club standards! Already, we're off to a bad start. televised in the country during homecoming weekend at Truth University. ![]() One dancer is clearly superior to anyone else there - but guess what - he's not the main character! (In fact, I don't recall seeing him again after that scene.) We see the movie's main character, Chance, played by Collins Pennie, do his best stuff. So onto the sequel: it starts out promising enough, with a "battle" in the street. (How Columbus Short's character, DJ Williams, could have been tagged with the murder of Chris Brown's character is a MAJOR hole in the movie, but that's another story.) In August 2010, Taylor ventured her career into acting, appearing in the sequel of Stomp the Yard, titled Stomp the Yard: Homecoming13 She also appeared. #Stomp the yard homecoming professionalThe cinematography - as far as dance movies of this type goes - was professional looking as well. We both enjoyed Columbus Short, Chris Brown, Meagan Good, and the rest of the great cast, along with the nicely choreographed and impressively skilled stepping.
