(1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 53% Rotten Page   1   2.5/4 "The film's saving grace is the brilliant execution of its march numbers."   Film Freak Central   Bill Chambers 63/100 "Its over-reliance on genre conventions, character types and formulaic conflict resolutions crushes all the goodwill it otherwise develops."   Apollo Guide   Dan Jardine 2.5/4 "...though the movie does overstay its welcome, it's never boring and the majority of the music is infectiously catchy..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "Better than it has any right to be, yet remains an uneven affair not good enough to be worth running out and seeing."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman C- "This is the same formula with different variables."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov C "A thoroughly formulaic movie...the only truly new element here is the musicmaking background, and it's a fairly easy transplant."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/4 "Offers little that's surprising or groundbreaking, but, because the script is smart enough not to insult us and to develop a group of interesting characters, the act of watching the film is an entertaining experience rather than a tedious exercise."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 6/10 "While you might not be able to dance to it, Drumline has a good enough beat to propel it and make being in a marching band look cool."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 5/10 "...it must be a good story, it's been told so many times before."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 6/10 "Pretty formulaic stuff...but the specific setting...sets it apart."   All Movie Guide   Josh Ralske 5/5 "At times, Drumline is almost like the moments before an electrical storm - your hair stands on end; your heart beats faster because of the adrenaline rush; and your ears pop because of the pressure change in the air."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel C- "There's a reason why people go to the bathroom during halftime."   Countingdown.com   Larry Carroll A- "“Drumline” makes marching bands as soul-stirring as raise-the-roof gospel and more irresistibly, foot-stompingly, hip-hoppily thrilling than any video currently playing on MTV."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow C+ "Don't expect any surprises in this checklist of teamwork cliches..."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 1/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf Read review   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs  (1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 53% Rotten Page   1
