Summary: 3&Half for me in a Rocky of Battle of the Bands
Review: this film had a Rocky type of vibe.I grew up on battle of the bands&the truth is most people didn't care about the Football but who won the battle of the band was the true bragging rights.it's long overdue that a Movie on this Great tradition finally made it to the Big screen.dug the Drumming,the Steps&Showmanship.Nick Cannnon did a Good Jobe&Orlando Jones added another part of His Personna to this film.the film was predictable on storyline&a very Rocky like story line but the chemistry of the Band&overall Presentation was Point on.I'll tell anyone there is nothing like Black College Band battles or Black High School Battle of the Bands.it's long overdue.High 5 on it finally coming to the Main-screen&hopefully there will be more.

Summary: Amazing movie
Review: As a former member of one of the marching bands featured in this movie, and as a part of the movie, I am extremely proud of the movie and what is has to offer. This is one of the few movies that positively and accurately captures black college life. As a student at Clark Atlanta University (where the movie was filmed, portrayed as Atlanta A&T), I can definitely appreciate all aspects of the movie, and I'm glad that Nick Cannon and other cast members were able to create such a masterful piece of work.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome
Review: This movie was totally awesome! I am the co-captain of the Drumline at my high school and i would reccomend this movie to anyone! If any drummer could be as good as one of them they deserve to be bowed down too!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Most Fun Movies I've Seen in a While
Review: Let me preface my comments with my bias first: I am a graduate of Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA, so the notion of a movie set on an historically black college campus (A&T-filmed on CAU's beautiful campus) gets points out the gate. This movie, however, managed to do something that its ealier predecessor's failed to do: entertain, educate, and rally the audience all at the same time.

"Drumline" is your classic story of a highly talented and cocky freshman coming into his own by bumping heads with authority and consequently learning to respect the differences. Where this movie picks up major points is that it takes you directly into the heart of a culture (HBC bands) and helps to preserve on film to some and present to others something that has an awesome legacy in Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

There is something incredibly awesome about seeing bands battle on the big screen. The adrenaline gets going and you find yourself cheering during the competitions. When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I knew I would have to see it.

Nick Cannon does a wonderful job with the main character, Devin. And less we forget, the extras in this movie were totally on point. I'm so glad that this movie was as well done and well received as it was, and I hope that Hollywood takes note and gives us more movies like this one.

Also worth mentioning, excluding some very light profanity, this is pretty much a good movie for anyone to watch, be it families, dates, or just friends hanging out. I know that this DVD will be the highlight of my collection for a while.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love it!
Review: I absolutely loved the movie "Drumline"! It's an incredible film centered around a marching band at a university. The music is wonderful and you immediately get caught up in the characters and the out of this world band sequences! One thing that I particularly like about this film is that it's realistic to college life - struggle, striving to succeed, etc. It wasn't like the cliche "teen movie" that has no plot. This is a truly great movie. I would highly recommend it! No matter what type of music you love, you'll definitely be tapping your feet and nodding your head to the music while watching this film!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: DRUMLINE
Review: FINALLY, FINALLY A MOVIE THAT WE CAN RELATE TO. THE BANDS WERE OFF THE HOOK, THE CAST WAS TO DIE FOR AND NICK "YOU GO BOY".
THE MOVIE KEPT MY ATTENTION THE WHOLE TIME. WE NEED MORE MOVIES LIKE THIS THAT GIVES YOU A LITTLE MORE EDGE ON HOW IT REALLY IS IN BLACK COLLEGES.

KEEP IT UP

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Closeup Look at Life in the Band
Review: This is a wonderful portrayal of the hard work that goes into a "simple" halftime show. The movie dedicated just enough time into showing the friendships that form between band members from spending so much time together, the rivals that come up not only between band members but between bands, and how any one flaw in one person can mess up the whole band. "One band, One sound" was their motto and the way to get to that one sound was played out wonderfully. Any former marching band member will feel their pain when they all have to run track because one person messed up. I also appreciated how each section leader told their group that they were the glue that held the band together. There is a romantic story line that runs along behind the story of a drummer with big dreams. In the end, the title of the movie comes out with a big drum battle to determine who will win the BET classic. This drum battle alone will make you want to see the movie again the next day, and is the main reason I'll be buying this movie the day it comes out. I hope there will be more band movies coming out, this ones a classic!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not Bad
Review: I saw drumline in theaters with my girlfriend, both of us are into music of all types and i believe you have to appreciate music, especially marching bands and precussion ensembles, to appreciate this movie. While the plot and acting leave much to be desired the sole music and marching band preformance of the movie make it intresting enough to keep your attention. There are many flashy "stick tricks" that the main charicter preforms that make this movie exciting. This combined with the element of competion that existis between the bands makes this movie enjoyable and stimulating. I would recomend this to anyone who enjoys the preformance aspect of being in a marching band, and to anyone who enjoys precussion instrauments.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Ole' Movie!
Review: I truly can say that I enjoyed this movie! There was very little sex and violence, which is needed in this day and time. I plan to watch it over and over because its great to be in a theatre, eating your popcorn, enjoying the show and music. I give it 5+++ stars! great job!
