Hey Yall…so i am obsessed with Robin Thicke and i saw the other day that he was going to be in this movie which is sweet!..the movie is about some kids dancing/stepping I think one kid is kind of a trouble maker and this gets him out of trouble…Im just really excited about seeing Robin!..I wonder if he will have any songs on the soundtrack

A few days ago my fraternity (Alpha Phi Alpha) sent a message saying that they did not approve or endorse the fraternity being involved in this film. I thought it was about hazing but it basically looks like _Bring It On Drumline '07_. If it’s on HBO I might watch it, otherwise meh.

Really I would think that the movie would have gotten permission before anyone was featured in it…but what do I know…

It does not look at all like drumline to me. But its about stepping…I am excited that they have a stepping movie out now. Not since School Daze has the black fratenity/soriety experience been portrayed…I myself am looking forward to it:)

Wow, so it is [a stepping version](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0775539/plotsummary) of every dance competition movie ever made, most recently **Step Up**. It’s cool they’re showing stepping but I’m not sure this is the right formula. I’d rather see a documentary.

Yeah documentary would be good too but might be a bit serious. I think that it’s great they are showing Stepping at all in a movie! It will have some big Music star cameos…
