VHS Movie Reviews of Stomp Out Loud [VHS]Movie Review: Not what I'd hoped for Summary: 2 StarsWhen I saw the Vegas show in December 2008 I was floored! I bought this DVD at the souvenir shop at Planet Hollywood expecting it to be the show I'd just seen. It's not, being exclusively NYC based, much shorter and lacking the humor and audience participation that made the show so charming. If you want a video that better represents the live show then buy the "Stomp Live" DVD, available here on Amazon for about $20 ($10 less than I paid for "Stomp Out Loud" at PH.) I just watched it and it's great! I still prefer the Vegas production which had a larger stage & cast, it seemed more lavish. Unfortunately the Vegas show has closed.
Movie Review: Good in small doses Summary: 3 StarsHaving never seen or heard of this group I wasn't sure what I was going to get. They are entertaining in small blocks. Watching the whole DVD at once becomes wearing after a while. Banging on junk and making rythym with brooms and basketballs is unique and mostly pleasant to the ears. Rated F for fun.
Movie Review: Leaves You Wanting more....~ Summary: 5 StarsWhen 'Stomp' played locally last year we couldn't wait to see it, and see it we did! This production is simply great, a unique musical masterpiece of unscaled proportion. The real appreciation of this show comes from the amazing performance of ALL the stars. 'Percussion strikes', while suspended from a billboard is the most amazing thing ever - a real treat for the entire family. - JAZ
Movie Review: Not nearly as good as the live show Summary: 2 StarsAfter seeing this show in Las Vegas, I really wanted a video that captured the same energy and humour so that I could continue to enjoy the show as home. Sadly, this DVD doesn't come close.
The energy is not there, the skits were not nearly as funny and some of the sets were distracting. I missed the simplisty of the stage and fast movement between skits.
Movie Review: Awesome sound Summary: 5 StarsI first watched this movie when I was in 6th grade band class, then again in my high school drama and music classes. I've been wowed eveytime at the way they make their music with all sorts of everyday items and situations like playing cards or driving in a truck. Its an incredible talent, whoever put this performance and music together. My fave parts are the beginning on the billboard, when their underneath the building in waist deep water and the when they come out on the stage with water falling on them and their "drums" - great to watch - great just to listen to - and pretty cool to try and imitate with a handful of friends and items from your own home. If you don't end up buying it - at least check it out on youtube. You'll be entranced.
Summary of Stomp Out Loud [VHS]Stomp is a rhythmic, musical extravaganza that has stunned audiences across the globe. If you weren't lucky enough to catch them in your hometown (or you did and you crave more), now there's Stomp Out Loud, a special HBO performance that will bring the unusual musical feats right into your living room. You might just find yourself grabbing a broom or even your remote control to keep time. "It's comedy, it's theater, it's very physical, it's energetic, it's occasionally quite terrifying," says one performer. Taking their show from the theater to the streets, this astonishing troupe can make music out of just about anything and just about anywhere. The opening sequence shows them dangling by harnesses across the back of a Manhattan billboard drumming on hubcaps, pipes, street signs, and plastic garbage pails, all the while swaying and keeping in perfect time. You know how you like to groove along to the radio while driving? Stomp doesn't need a radio--they use their hands to make their own music while cruising the streets of New York. Using just basketballs in a steamy alleyway, the troop creates an incredibly intricate dance and sound with the street, brick walls, and Dumpsters. Included in the program are the push broom, garbage can, and pole dances, just a few of their best-known sequences. Stomp Out Loud showcases the performers in the theater, out about town, and in short humorous vignettes (love the recurring card game!). All in all, they amaze. This well-produced video also includes a trailer and a special behind-the-scenes look at the making of Stomp Out Loud. --Dana Van Nest
