Summary: This movie rocks!!!!
Review: First of all, I want to say this movie rocks! And the first time I saw the trailer I wanted to see it but I never went to the movies to see it, it didn't look that amazing. But I rented the movie and I loved it. I mean ,the music is incredible, the sound of the drums just blow your mind away and all the choreography is amazing. It changed my perspective of marching bands which I found boring. I recommend it to everyone. Oh and to all Nick Cannon's fans, he looks incredibly beautiful and hot, I love him. Well I hope 60% of the prople that see my review, turn the computer off and go rent it, and after they see it, they buy the movie.

Summary: Man, am I suprized
Review: At first, I hated Nick Cannon, because he can't rap at all, but, this movie definitly made me appreciate his acting.
Devon Miles:The main man of the movie. He cam out of NYC, and made it to a university on Atlanta. There he pushes his skills to the limit, and learns a lot on the way. But yet, when he showboats, and tries to act fresh.... oh man it cost him bigtime.

Dr. Lee:The condicter of the band. He's more of a traditional guy, so don't expect him to really like hip-hop or anything else new age. But when one performance messes up bigtime, he tries to mix up old school and New School, but Devon made a mistake when he took a solo.

This movie is a real good movie. I mean, it's definitly a positive movie, which are some of my favoirte movies. If you like bands, or something like that, this one's sure to catch you eye.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Worth Seeing
Review: After reading mostly positive reviews of this film, I decided to check it out, and I have to say I really enjoyed it. While the plot is a bit predictable, it great to have a movie about a subject that has never really been tackled before. A college drumline. The drumline sequences are alot of fun to watch, and Nick Cannon is wonderful, in a star making performance. Hes charismatic, intense, and believable as a college student who tries to be #1 on the drumline. Zoe Saldana from Center Stage and Crossroads gives a charming, likebale performance as Nicks girlfriend. The movie is fast paced, intense, romantic, and alot of fun to watch. Highly recommended.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Above all, a great family film
Review: A two hour long movie predominently about black kids at a southern university with no profanity, no drug usage or drinking?

Very refreshing. This is a great family film for all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best
Review: This movie was one of the best movies ever made. I loved how they made the intensity of it all come to life. If there is any better movie please tell me because I am always in a good mood for the best movie ever. This will be hard to beat(as the best movie) for any new movies coming out soon or in the future. I love the music of it all. Whoever played any of the music I would like to congradulate them for having such a great talent or should I say a great gift. It was a great cast and a great movie. I think this is a great movie to show kids to change there attitude if they want to be great at something they love to do. In the end it was a perfect movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie, Great cast
Review: The movie Drumline symbolizes African-American life in the 20th century. I loved Drumline because the character's playing the part were excellent for the movie. Nick Cannon(Devin) played a hard headed musical talented teen graduate who wanted to lead and not follow. He has trouble with his section leader Sean who is jealous of him because of his talent. He falls in love with Laila(Zoe Saldana)the captain of AA&T band dancers, who encourges him to follow his dream. Devin's band director thinks Devin doesn't understand what it means to be a good leader. Devin finally understands what the band is all about and leads the band to victory.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Year's Best!
Review: Drumline is a heart-thumping, feet-stompin', get-up-and-shake-your-...-and-feel-good type of movie that makes one thankful to be alive. Nick Cannon plays a gifted drummer from the inner city who gets a full scholarship to Atlanta T&T, a predominantly black college which has a long history of having an exceptional marching band.

Most of the characters are black. A few well placed faces are white. The story, of gifted ambition fighting against the system, is universal. Nick's love interest is Zoe Saldana, a lovely cheerleader (whom I had seen in Center Stage and Crossroads). Orlando Jones (Evolution, The Time Machine) plays an overly conservative band director who is challenged to bring more excitement to defeat longtime rival, Morris Brown College, at the upcoming band competition classic.

Nick wears his motor-board and graduates from high school. There's a touching scene where he goes to see his father, who works as a ticket taker - and "thanks" him for not being there when he needed him. In college, Nick's rebellious nature gets him into trouble and eventually kicked off of the band. He makes a triumphant return - and everyone lives happily ever after (but, of course).

Along the way, however, we are treated to the most exciting display of marching band prowess - and drum line percussion riffs - I've ever enjoyed anywhere! Take it from me, you'll never in a million years view such an exhibition on Saturday afternoon NCAA football!

The finale is spectacular. On the field, you'd be life-challenged to see black cheerleader mid-driffs more sensual; or black drum beats so inspirational. The bands duel, and tie; and the drum lines face-off for the conclusion. Not a word was spoken, but I've never experienced anything so dramatic; and I literally ended the film with my heart pounding in my chest, and tears streaming down my cheeks.

There's a touching moment in the deleted scenes where Nick goes to thank his father - who turned out to offer him a key piece of inspiration in the film.

Drumline is viscerally and emotionally powerful; and it is easily one of the best movies I've seen all year (black or otherwise). I'm sure you'll love it as much as I did!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This isnt another 'Bring it on'
Review: More dramtic then comedy. I good movie without the run of the mill, typical storyline. Good acting by all. The ending is a little bit of a cop out though. Good to see an African-American cast. You dont see a lot of those in Hollywood movies.
