Reviews

Charlotte Observer -
The final drum-off (c'mon, you knew it would come down to that) resembles a combination of music, gymnastics and martial arts, and I don't think I've seen a more pulse-pounding scene this year.

Chicago Reader -
Exuberant music and precision choreography furnish the thrills in this thoroughly enjoyable saga.

|
Chicago Tribune -
That it's got a positive message may strike some as decidedly not "edgy" -- but they should be too busy stomping their feet to notice.
|
|
Boston Globe -
A bonanza of pop uplift. It wraps the up-from-nothing drama of ''Flashdance'' in the sassy, interracial pep rallying of ''Bring It On'' and the military romance of ''An Officer and a Gentleman.''

Variety -
Brimming with heart and humor -- Drumline is a formulaic crowdpleaser set in the competitive world of university marching bands at predominantly black universities.
