Description:
Halftime is party time in this high-energy comedy about a gifted street drummer (Nick Cannon) who snares the top spot in a university marching band - but quickly discovers it takes more than talent to succeed. Featuring a hip-hop soundtrack and dazzling dance moves, Drumline "shakes, rattles and rolls the house!" (Washington Post)
Amazon.com:
Once 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

Devon Miles (Nick Cannon) is a drum prodigy, a talent so profound he managed to receive a drum scholarship to Atlanta A&T, a school with a powerful band led by Dr. Lee (Orlando Jones), a band director who believes in the structure and beauty of old-school music. In other words, Dr. Lee takes music seriously. Too bad Devon doesn't.
Unfortunately, Devon is anything but a team-player, butting heads with Sean Taylor (Leonard Roberts), Section Leader of the Drumline. Despite his unquestionable ... Read More

I attended a 100% African American High School, and the Band was fierce. They looked good, sound good, and could get their dance on. So the marching band was always a very important part of my life, even though I wasn't in the band.
During the summer, when they would practice, I would go to the football field and watch them get their routines and formations together. In the movie, where the band members have to run around the track when one person messes up, I have witnessed numerous time. ... Read More

As a collector I am always hesitant to purchased used DVDs without looking at them first. I am happy to say that this DVD was is good condition and plays without error. Also, the case is in like-new condition, and to a collector the case is just as important as the DVD itself. I received the DVD sooner than expected which makes for an overall great purchasing experience.

Drumline was one of the best movies I can recall seeing in 2002. Nick Cannon in his first starring role carrys this movie very well. I took the film for what it was a crowd pleasing movie that makes you root for the underdog. Charles Stone III who directed the very good Paid In Full before this shows he can tell a good story. Zoe Salidana and Orlando Jones also give great performances. I paid to see this film twice and always give repeat viewings on DVD.

This was a film I missed when it came out. Don't even remember it in fact. A shame but the beauty of DVD is that you can pick up what you missed.
This is a fun little film with the old story of the kid with great musical talent who has nothing; get's his big break with a full scholarship to a university.
Miles shows up expecting to be treated like royalty but ends up becoming the problem of the band.
Extremely talented drummer with a bad attitude challenges and shows ... Read More
