Drumline (Full Screen Edition) Reviews
Lighten up a little.
To the person who was droning on about how predictable and unrealistic the movie is: obviously, you've never had any fun. I understand that you have experience with music, and what do you know, so do I. This is a fictional movie. Not an instruction video. You sound like the kind of person that wouldn't like Spider man because nobody can really shoot a web out of their hand or wouldn't like any kind of fictional movie. LIGTEN UP.
With that out of the way. This movie can be typical in some parts, yes he is a troubled person who nobody understands blah blah blah as is cliched in so many other movies, however, those kind of movie are fun to watch.
The drumming was amazing. Absolutely amazing. Wonderful performance by Nick Cannon.
Ho Hum....
As someone who graduated from a high school where people attended football games just for the half time show, and has attended several marching band competitions, I was looking forward to seeing Drumline. I was majorly disappointed. The storyline and acting in this movie are painfully bad. The main character, Devon, is too annoying for words. The band directors of the dueling universities that make up this story are ridiculously melo dramatic. I know we can expect movies to stretch reality, but to show the main character begin school at one university, drop out and transfer to another university, and then return to the first university... all in one semester was absurd. Have the writers of this movie ever attended college? Have they ever MET anyone who has?
I am no expert on drumlines so I cannot judge the authenticity of the musical sequences. I enjoyed them. I would have enjoyed the musical sequences more if they did not include a ludicrous number of close ups of the dance squads that accompany the bands performances. Their ridiculously tight, not to mention sparse costumes coupled with them writhing on the field left me with the impression that the dance squads in this movie looked more like they should have been pole dancing in a cheap strip dive, rather than performing as part of a marching band.
I would not reccommend purchasing this movie. It is not worth the money. If you feel you must see it, I would rent it, pull up the main menu, and go straight to the scenes with the band performances. The performance that's played with the closing credits is entertaining as well. The rest is a waste of time.
