- Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2025One of the best classics! This movie was everything I imagined. Music, the bands, rivals, the actors, artists and the pulse of working hard in your craft and just being a team! One band one sound. Love the extended version.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2025I forgot how good this movie was. Nick Cannon was so young in it. Definitely one of my favorites.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2024Great value at a good price
- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2014Having the privilege of growing up in Jackson, Miss. and playing in an all-black high school marching band, I can relate on an intellectual and visceral level to the music and showmanship that was an integral part of football in the black community throughout the south. Our band paled in comparison to what the colleges produced but our drummers often got their inspiration from attending the epic battles between what was then Jackson State College, Grambling College, Alcorn State, and Southern University.
To see and hear the showmanship and the instrumentation and drumming in this movie is quite thrilling to say the least.
The drum director and his opposite at Morris Brown were perfectly cast---One being dedicated to showmanship AND music fundamentals, and the other catering more to the R&B and the kinetic connection that the student and alumni craved.
(Morris Brown director's backside motions as he directed his band from his platform in the stands is a hilarious sight.!)
The bands' on-field whirlwind movements, the cheerleaders(Oh! What cheerleaders!), the horns, the cadences, are an
overwhelming sight for the eyes and a feast for the ears.
This movie really wants you get up from the couch and shake your _ _ _ _ y.
The story line is very interesting and informative in showing the difference in attitudes of those of us who grew up in the South
and of those brought up in the north. The sight of the intermingling of white students and black students attending school together and performing with each on the field was a refreshing sight, given the destructive effects of Jim Crow Laws that forced Blacks in the 40's to the 60's to develop there own network of separate schools and social institutions.
I HIGHLY recommend this video to all for a re-connection with old experiences and for another insight into the Black Experience
for others.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2025Very nice movie
- Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2024No, I am not one of Nick Cannon's 235 children.... I just like terrible movies.
