DVD Reviews of Drumline (Special Edition)
DVD Review: Seen it twice now, liked it both times
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie was recommended to me by a friend when my daughter was in junior high. She is a percussionist and at that time, wasn't interested in marching band at the high school level, but we wanted to see the movie due to her interest in drumming. Since that time, she has gotten into marching band and an indoor drumline at her high school and the indoor drumline she participates in came in 14th at national competition last month (proud mom here).
The first time I saw the movie, it really seemed over the top to me and while I enjoyed it, it seemed unrealistic in many ways. This is a feel-good movie with a talented but arrogant under-priviledged kid getting the opportunity of a lifetime and showing how he responds. I am always a sucker for this type of film. The second time I watched this just this past weekend, I enjoyed it even more. After going through a high school marching band season and an indoor drumline season, this all seemed perfectly normal. The number of hours, the discipline, the hardwork these kids put into this are very accurately portrayed based upon my own experience.
To sum it up -- a fun, entertaining movie that anyone who has participated in marching band (and drummers in particular) will enjoy. The additional bonus material were great. Glad I bought it!
Description of Drumline (Special Edition)
DRUMLINE SPECIAL EDITION - DVD MovieOnce you've seen Drumline, halftime shows will become works of art. This formulaic yet surprisingly captivating movie honors the military precision of college football marching bands, those battalions of eager, sternly disciplined brass sections, drummers, and fly girls who turn halftime shows into well-oiled Vegas variety acts on steroids. Devon (played by Will Smith protégé Nick Cannon) is a cocky Brooklyn kid with a snare-drumming scholarship to (fictional) Atlanta A&T University. He can't read music (he lied on his application) and his attitude sucks, but he's the best natural drummer the college has ever had, so he quickly rises through the marching band ranks. The school year brings Devon the obligatory girlfriend (Zoë Saldana, smart and charming); clashes with his old-school band director (Orlando Jones); and well-earned redemption at the championship marching band showdown. No surprises here, but great chemistry all around, and a fantastic, positive role-model showcase for a musical form that has evolved far beyond the main street parades of Smalltown, U.S.A. --Jeff Shannon
