Step Sisters is a 2018 comedy-drama film directed by Charles Stone III and written by Chuck Hayward. The movie stars Megalyn Echikunwoke, Eden Sher, and Lyndon Smith in the lead roles. The movie revolves around a young African-American woman named Jamilah, who is a senior at a prestigious college in Atlanta. She is the captain of the school's dance team, the Black Diamond Steppers, and is on track to achieve all her goals.

However, when her dean (played by Matt McGorry) asks Jamilah to help out the school's white sorority, Sigma Beta Beta, with their step dancing moves, she reluctantly agrees. Jamilah sees this as her chance to show her dance team and the world that African-American culture and tradition should not be appropriated or taken for granted. But little does she know that the challenge she has taken on will test her beliefs, her friendships, and her very own identity.

As Jamilah sets out to train the girls of Sigma Beta Beta, she is met with resistance from some and enthusiasm from others. She struggles to break down the barriers between the two cultures, and to teach the girls the true essence of step dancing. But as the competition date draws near, the girls of Sigma Beta Beta begin to embrace the culture of the Black Diamond Steppers, and a true sisterhood is formed.

Megalyn Echikunwoke shines in her role as Jamilah, a dynamic and driven woman who is determined to see her dance team win. Her character is confident and self-assured, and she brings a sense of gravitas to the film. Meanwhile, Eden Sher plays Beth, the quirky and lovable girl who seems to be the only one on the Sigma Beta Beta team that is genuinely interested in stepping. Lyndon Smith takes on the role of Danielle, the beautiful and popular girl who initially shows disdain for Jamilah and her team.

The movie tackles a variety of themes, including cultural appropriation, racial identity, and the importance of sisterhood. It does so in a way that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. The movie also features some amazing dance performances, showcasing the incredible talent of the actors.

Overall, Step Sisters is an enjoyable and heartwarming film that will leave you feeling inspired.
