一往无前(2009)

Unlike most films that chronicle contemporary African-American life which feature one or several recognizable actors 'Steppin' has a cast of 25 of the most popular, highly acclaimed, in demand stars in the industry with exceptional performances in this hilarious romp set on a university campus. The story line unfolds over a several month period in which the "Greeks" (fraternities and sororities) prepare for the culminating event; the step show competition. Against this backdrop there are numerous sub plots involving the meeting and maturation of a love relationship, a kidnapping, an avenging abused co-ed (women in various test audiences actually applauded this scene) fraternity initiation rites, great step scenes, an off the chain sound track and an overall funny take on the antics of students and faculty alike. Every college campus has its rivalries and UTS is no different. At this university, the Geeks run the campus and the greatest Steppers are king of the hill. When a local radio station announces the beginning of the step competition season, the campus fraternities and sororities fight to recruit the best talent that will help them win the big-money prize. Featuring hilarious appearances by Anthony Anderson, Mo'Nique and Faizon Love and starring some of the most recognizable talent in film, television and music including Darius McCrary and Wesley Jonathan, Steppin serves up big laughs and high-steppin dance moves sure to get you out of your seat.
