Jamilah has her whole life figured out. She's the president of her black sorority, captain of their champion step dance crew, is student liaison to the college dean, and her next move is on to Harvard Law School. She's got it all, right? But when the hard-partying white girls from Sigma Beta Beta embarrass the school, Jamilah is ordered to come to the rescue. Her mission is to not only teach the rhythmically-challenged girls how to step dance, but to win the Steptacular, the most competitive of dance competitions. With the SBBs reputations and charter on the line, and Jamilah's dream of attending Harvard in jeopardy, these outcast screw-ups and their unlikely teacher stumble through one hilarious misstep after another. Cultures clash, romance blossoms, and sisterhood prevails as everyone steps out of their comfort zones.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

'STEP SISTERS': Four Stars (Out of Five)A dance comedy about an ambitious black college student that's forced to teach Greek stepping to a bunch of party obsessed white sorority girls. It was directed by Charles Stone III (who also helmed the 2002 comedy musical 'DRUMLINE'), and it was written by Chuck Hayward (who's also served as a regular writer on the TV series 'DEAR WHITE PEOPLE'). The film was released by Netflix, through it's streaming site, and it stars Megalyn Echikunwoke, Lyndon Smith, Eden Sher, Gage Golightly, Marque Richardson, Naturi Naughton, Matt McGorry, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Robert Curtis Brown. I found it to be really (surprisingly) clever and insightful, especially for a 'dance film'!Jamilah (Echikunwoke) is the president of her sorority, captain of their champion step dance crew, and a liaison to the college dean (Brown). With the exception of a troubled relationship with her mother (Ralph), Jamilah's life is turning out just the way she always wanted it to, and she hopes to attend Harvard Law School next. Then the (mostly) white girls from Sigma Beta Beta embarrass the whole school with their hard partying ways. Jamilah is ordered to teach these girls how to step dance, in order to save the school's reputation, otherwise her Harvard plans may be put into jeopardy. I almost didn't watch this movie because I expected it to be another clichéd, cheesy dance flick. It's really well written though, and surprisingly insightful (in an often comedic way) about race relations. This film oddly shows the negative affect racial bigotry can have on (otherwise) highly privileged white girls though. The movie is clever, touching, and surprisingly inspiring too. Echikunwoke is really affective in the lead, and Smith is fantastic as her nemesis. The whole movie is just a lot better than I was expecting it to be. I'd even compare it to the film 'DEAR WHITE PEOPLE' in quality (I haven't seen the TV show though).

Not bad, basically a stomp version of pitch perfect. For the women a emotional rollercoaster of a film with feminism and womenhood at the core of the subject, having to yet again defeat the opreopres of man and (racism). For the man, u can deal with it few funny moments and attractive women in tight fitting active wear basically stomping and bouncing for the film. SPOILER ALERT (Something about the blond at the end definitely ticks a box) All in all a good film could prob knock one off to it be you male or female.Makes you wish you could re live your days and we'll . . . . Have friends . :'(

Script wasn't the greatest in this film. The first half was full of narcissistic personalities and over the top stereotyping... Then the second half delved into some topics relevant to this day and age and made it a much more interesting watch - alongside some awesome dance talent! TL/DR: wish that the great, relevant, thought-provoking themes of this film were given to a better writer and director (imo). Great steps!

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Although I am not the type to watch "chick flicks" they can be quite fun and a great way to spend free time. I also caught myself chuckling quite a few times throughout the movie and if you're open-minded and give this movie a chance, you could enjoy it. I am not a movie critic, but I do consider myself as the average viewer. There were also some interesting issues addressed in the movie as well. Overall, I don't regret watching this movie and I never expected it to be an Oscar quality movie either. Give it a watch if you like, perfect for a late night watch after work!
