Summary: I Loved This Movie!
Review: Before Drumline, I had never heard of Nick Cannon nor had I ever seen Orlando Jones in anything except for a commercial. However, this movie reeled me in and never let me go. The acting alone would have won me over anyway, because it was really that good, but, the music was phenomenal. Go out and buy your copy of this great movie today.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: nick cannon
Review: I see him on t.v. as a comedian/ actor, now he is a singer. Go head boy ! Get paid. This movie is very good to my surprise. All ages should see it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A "beat" down memory lane
Review: Although it is not a prerequisite, to fully appreciate this film, one has to have been in a black college band. Those of us that fit the bill can relate to the events portrayed here: the stern taskmasters, the long hours of practice, the rivalry between band members and the visiting bands, the majorettes/dance line shaking to the sounds, the alumni expecting to get their monies worth, the intricacies of the halftime performance, and the blossoming romance between some band mates.

All of these and more are captured in this entertaining chronicle of band life. While popular Nick Cannon is the star, the best performance goes to Orlando Jones as "Mr. Lee". The actor is quite effective as the disciplined and dedicated-to-his-craft band director, allowing nothing else to stand in the way of his band producing skilled performances. Previously known primarily for his comic work, Jones gets to really stretch his acting chops here.

Hopefully, Hollywood will offer more dramatic work to the actor and he may join the ranks of those performers that alternate between genres.

It is also refreshing to find radio personality Jay Anthony Brown helming the role of Jones' rival, the fictional director of Atlanta's Morris Brown College. His conducting swagger only surpasses Brown's pomposity as he leads his "troops"
to "battle".

Ranking:
5 for the musical numbers and Jones's performance
3 for the story
= 4 (average)

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: my review and reply to Lou, Ky
Review: I loved drumline. It was tuly enjoyable to be immersed in the black college experience if only for a little while. As for Lou, Ky: The fact that you bought a used DVD speaks to your lowly station in life; your misuse of language speaks to your lack of education; and, your racist review speaks to your cultural bankruptcy. So get off the dirty sofa, dust off your
wife beater tee shirt, and drive the trailer ( oh, that's your house too) to a professor at a college near you (if there is one), for translation.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: a little review and a reply to :A viewer from Lou. KY
Review: Drum line was a pleasing, fun film to watch. Your synopsis of the film is based in pure ignorance. Many of us have too often seen a film, for instance, The Lord of the Rings, and wondered "Where are the Black/African American People?" I must mention how appreciative I was to see Orlando Jones as a man lead by his ethics. The speech patterns featured by SOME of the cast are common among youth of ALL races/ethnicities in our country. If you do not like films featuring people of color, perhaps you should hide in your hovel for the rest of your years, since you are not useful to society. And, PS. you people eat greasy fries too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: I loved this movie. Everything about it was great!!! I am a lover of music and a former high school band student and at that time not much meant more to me than being in the marching band, so I really enjoyed it. All of the actors were good. And Nick Cannon was so cute!!! He's also a great actor. Congrats to the people behind the storyline. This movie definitely deserves a 5-star rating. By the way, very clear picture. It's like you're really there!!!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: save your $'s
Review: Recommended only to that guy who beat on the five gallon bucket in that early 90's Mariah Carey video, remember him he used to move the bucket with his foot to change up the sound. Hey!!, these filmmakers should make a movie about him. It would be more interesting than this. What was his name?

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Dont hate!
Review: First I would like to say I hope my review comes out right cause last time I had some problems. Anyway... It is very clear that some reveiwers are just plan haters. I respect everybodies opinion, but I can tell that some people dont like the movie not because its bad, but for some other reason. How in the world are you going to compare the "Breatfast club" some tasteless 80's trailer park movie to Drumline, it doesn't make sense! If you have some type of bias views why even bother, cause all you are doing is confusing other consumers with your dishonest reviews. Now to my review... I rented Drumline last year and right after decided to buy it, its a wonderful movie every one should see it, but its not for the haters.
