Not a concept movie, but entertaining as all get-out

So what if the plot is lifted from OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN? Even as a Brit who has no experience of the culture of college marching bands, this is one entertaining film.Besides, there's something a bit more important going on here. At the core of this film is the path that Devon (Nick Cannon) takes from the point of having no concern for anyone but himself through to understanding the concept of teamwork and respect for those who are trying to help him be a better musician and, ultimately, person. Not a new message, but one I think we need more than ever in 2006.How can you dislike a film like that?

Not bad, even refreshing

Sure, the script could have been better -- in fact, it was downright predictable -- but in this age of godawful black-oriented shows on WB and UPN, how refreshing to see a positive portrayal of black culture that did not feature one single bug-eyed stereotype. And Orlando Jones (a guy who knows how to bug his eyes) can act! Who knew? And man, those band performances were hot! I really enjoyed it. Not a classic, but still a needed movie at a time when the bar is set way too low.
