Watch and obey

"Stomp the Yard" (2007)

Dancing flicks often feel the need to order their viewers around. (Keep scrolling in the gallery for more examples.) This one, starring Columbus Short, Meagan Good, Ne-Yo and Chris Brown, centers on rival fraternities with serious skills in step dancing.

Do we oblige? Yes. The dance sequences are the highlights of the otherwise cliché movie, and almost sell the idea that fraternities exist solely so members can bust a move as a group.
