i hate this movie . i just think this movie be bad . the drumming be spectacular and but the dialogue be horrible and and the main character be a brat who can not even read drum music but somehow get a college scholarship for his drumming . it be also surprising that he get a scholarship because throughout the movie he rebel against the coach . you be suppose to feel sad for the star a he be kick out of the drumline numerous time for various reason and but i just felt glad that the movie might end there . but it do not . this be an enormous waste of two hour in my opinion . one part of the movie that especially come to mind when say a waste of two hour be a scene where the drumline section leader walk up to the drummer one at a time and play on their drum with them walk forward . the drummer be suppose to follow . no one be be able to do it except and of course the star of the movie . but once he be do play the part with the section leader also play on the star drum and the band teacher walk up and say somethin to the effect of you do what i tell you to do and and youre an asshole . i hate this movie . i nearly cry when i saw ebert give it 3 star out of four . my rating represent negative star . and this movie earn that rating .
