One of the quotes from the movie in regards to how Devon feels about the band director, "he needs me, he came all the way to New York for me". The main character Deven is a cocky whiny butt that can't read music.OK, what college would give a scholarship let alone a full ride scholarship to someone that hasn't tried out which includes the ability to sight read. He whines all during the movie and you actually are rooting against the main character because he is sooo unlikable.unless you want someone that doesn't work at his craft but expects to be handed the world, is cocky and whiney to succeed. I bought this movie because my husband and I are both band geeks that prefer the old style of high step marching to the "corps" style. Shows how much Devon knows about recruiters.any one with a lick of sense knows recruiters make visits. Where do I begin. I must say this movie was HORRIBLE. The acting is so flat and predictable, the main character never grows up, he is disrepectful to EVERYONE and the drum cadences are not that impressive.
Band is a team effort, not an individual one. Several characters too arrogant for my taste.
This movie has a good story line too, but the dumming.fabulous. I didn't know what to expect when I first started watching this movie. But boy oh boy when it was over I could only hope to have one of my children join a drumlin (when they are older)just so I could watch it live.
This movie can't be beat for its dazzling theatrics and foot-stomping fun. The football contests controlled mayhem makes way for the blaring sound of trumpets and the heart-thumping rhythm of drums. Thoroughly enjoyable. For fans of Americas show-style marching bands, halftime is game time. A squad of players, some 300 strong and armed with musical instruments, takes over the field, commanding attention with their stirring, spectacular display of choreography and musicianship.
The sound clarity and hi-def images makes it worth adding to your blu-ray collection.Want to know more about the story of this movie, find the imdb website and see all that you need there. If you haven't seen Drumline, you don't know what you're missing. This movie will be a classic that you can't forget after watching it.
