I saw it also and I reallllly liked it. It kind of reminded me of Bring it On except with the band instead of cheerleaders. I hope the commercials don't discourage people from seeing it because it looks like it's a "black" movie or a "band" movie since it's not really either. I think anybody who has ever been in a group or team could relate to the themes in this movie. Overall a very light-hearted, fun movie:)

I went to see it last night but it was sold out! I guess I should have known better to try to catch the 8 pm show. All my students were there, I was like I'll come back at 10pm so the teenie bopper crowd will be gone. Alas, it was sold out as well. I will try tommorow.

:D I saw the movie today! It was sooo great. Very interesting plot and I loved the focus on HBCU bands. The Greek stuff was cool too. Awesome movie! Check it out!;)

I saw it last night and it was really good! The acting was way better than I thought it would be. It's a movie that everyone can enjoy. They were at a black school but there was no emphasis on race and I liked that aspect of it.

I liked it too. I thought Orlando Jones did well. I'm so used to seeing him doing comedy. J Anthony Brown was funny.

It's a movie for everyone.

Could there be a DL2? It kind of ended abruptly. That's the only problem I had with the film.

:D

For All Ages
 

I went with my son, husband and sister to see this movie. My son
really enjoyed it. I was skepital because of the PG-13 rating, but I figured the college theme would be a plus. I thought the storyline was good. The actors were good. It was refreshing to see Orlando Jones, The 7-UP guy, playing such a different part. I believe this movie came in #3 in the weekend box office

Drumline...
 

I think it was a good movie. . .I just wish it had been a little more realistic. Not saying that it could never happen but a freshman getting with an upperclassmen...on my campus that's damn near considered taboo. Also, they should have shown some football footage...every scence was automatically 3rd quarter. Overall, the movie was off the chain. The bands were tight...and since when did Morris Brown have the best band in the south??!! :rolleyes: I plan to go see it again.

Hello everyone. I am new to GC. Excuse me if I'm being rude. I'm not really up to par on the whole "Internet Etiquette" thing. I just wanted to say I saw "Drumline" and thought it was a really good movie too. Very entertaining. Also, in reference to Southern University's band (I'm not an SU student but can still see they are the best;) ), does anyone know the name of the guy who was the Drum Major in '97 and '98? To me, he was the best Drum Major the school has had that I've seen.

I enjoyed Drumline! I think anyone could enjoy it. It was good to see TBS and KKPsi represented but, I was thrown off by the fake sorority and school (ATL A&T). Otherwise, I think it was pretty realistic....made me wanna pull out the old flute and pop some 90s around the parking lot :cool: ! But , I got over that since I haven't marched in about 8 years:rolleyes: !

The drum major at SU 97-98 was T.J., his real name was Terrol.

This movie got two pinkies up from me also. Great story line and a positive feel made it worth the $8 ( what happen to the movies being $4-$6.:rolleyes: ) i spent. It is a definite repeat affair.

My husband and I saw it on Sunday and it was PACKED!! It was GREAT!!!! Even though I was not afforded the opportunity to join a band in school (thanks, mom and dad!!) this movie made me want to go and join one. It had a positive message for everyone and it did not emphasize the race issue. I hope it comes out on video soon so that I can show it to my middle schoolers. I'm thinking about going to see it again!!!! :D

Thanks. That's who I thought it was, but someone else told me differently. Thanks again for clearing it up.
