DVD Review

SHOWSTOPPERS
 
Starring: Fredro Starr, Tamala Jones and Clinton Powell
Showstoppers DVD 2008

By Tonisha Johnson

 

The ladies of Lamda Sorority live to step but one disgruntle sister decides she no longer wants to share the spotlight and soon a rivalry exists between the girls within the same house. Each group along with their regular lives must work harder than ever to score the stepping championship at nationals because losing is not an option.

Directed by Barry Bowles, Showstoppers, starring Fredro Starr, Tamala Jones, Clifton Powell and Faune Chambers, is about coming together through friendship, growing in love, and finding oneself. Although clearly an upstart film with great established actors its attempt is applauded.

The different background of the girls shows the director has done his research. The south isn't always so sudden. As more people are crossing lines for better lives and economic growth, it isn't hard to find a Puerto Rican girl deeply rooted in the south.
