      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    After getting arrested in Los Angeles, DJ (Short) thinks he may be well on his way to Stomp The Yard in prison, but his mom has other plans. Sending him to live with relatives in Atlanta, he becomes a student at Truth University, a historically African-American college, but finds he does not fit in so well. But that changes when he discovers that the campus fraternities hold an annual "stepping" competition...and our boy DJ has a move or two to bust out. (Jack Kelley)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD exhibits bold, although perhaps slightly oversaturated, colors and solid black levels. Shadow delineation is rendered well. Fleshtones can look slightly too red, and oftentimes contrast can be slightly exaggerated. Edge enhancement is noticeable on occasion, and pixelization, while not disastrous, can be seen at times. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #113 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    WSR is the most authoritative source on video and film issues. Their staff is well-informed, well-connected, and highly respected in the industry. The articles are informative, timely, and well-written. I use past issues as a resource for informing friends, co-workers, and customers on what's hot and what's not!
