So I started watching this because I was super bored and as all of the rest of the reviews state, the first half of this movie is super played out and so cheesy you can't help but roll your eyes. Then, literally halfway through the movie it changes and gives real dimensions and honestly addresses a lot of things that are super relevant and need to be addressed. I was PLEASANTLY surprised and I will absolutely recommend and watch this movie again.

I hope the dancing was good. Besides the opening scene I didn't get to see any of it because the movie was so terrible I turned it off after 5 minutes. Step Sisters is about a black sorority who hates the white sorority that is full of idiot girls. The head of the black girl sorority gets stuck teaching the white sorority to stomp. Ya know, cause white people can't dance, don't have rhythm, or do something that is labeled a black dance. They'd be stealing black heritage. Well in the end they all learn some lessons and overcome their pig-headed ideas and everyone lives happily. Instead I watched that movie about that white sorority who hated the black sorority that is full of idiot girls. The head of the white girl sorority gets stuck teaching the black sorority to be ballet dancers. Ya know, cause black people can't be classy, graceful. or do something that is labeled a white dance. They'd be stealing white heritage. Well in the end they all learn some lessons and overcome their pig-headed ideas and everyone lives happily. Oh yeah, that movie DOES NOT EXIST because that would be stupid and racist and did I say stupid? When I was growing up the message was "See no color". In 2018 the popular thing is to point out every difference possible and label everyone. No wonder the world is so hateful. The fact that I'm even having to post this review about this stupid movie just shows how pathetic it all is.

"Step Sisters" is an absolute disgrace and an insult to real filmmaking and filmmakers. The "social commentary" here is disgustingly overt and rude to anyone with a functioning brain. It is as if the creators said' "Let's make a movie that just pokes fun at white people and then we'll pretend like we're trying to send a meaningful message about race." Real films like "In The Heat of the Night," Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing," & Jordan Peele's soon to be revered classic, "Get Out" all deliver hard hitting and thoughtful social commentary that provokes thought through the expert use of film as a device. This... Abomination... I don't even know where to begin... We start out with our snotty protagonist who is trying to get into Harvard. She is barely black, incredibly wealthy, has two loving parents & acts and carries herself like a normal respectable being. Why is this girl talking about the plight of being black? Racism is real, yes; but was this affluent snob really the best character to deliver a message about the struggles of race? I live in my deceased Grandfather's 70 year old house, my divorced parents could never possibly afford college for myself and I have been denied every scholarship that I've applied for. I guess my white privilege wasn't enough to get me where I wanted to be in life. So, moving on: Our protagonist is met with a dilemma: If she wants to assure that she is accepted into Harvard (yes, Harvard) she must betray her race and her black sistas by teaching a bunch of uncoordinated, stereotypical, stupid white sorority girls how to step dance for a charity contest. I just lost brain cells explaining the plot. From here on it is just complete stupidity. Our selfless race-traitor protagonist puts her friendships on the line, and her unmatched skill and intellect to use in aiding these white simpletons! Through love and the embrace of white guilt, the ignorant sorority girls are able to grow as step dancers! Screw all of you were involved in the making of this film. This is no "empowerment" or even a brutally release is retelling of history, this is demeaning and idiotic. I wonder what movies got passed on so that this schlock could be made so Netflix could meet their diversity quota.
