An average movie

To be honest, I didn't expect much from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Zoe Saldana, I thought I should give it a try. First of all, the whole thing about the marching bands and drumlines is something typically American so it is rather difficult to understand their appeal when you are not from there. I remember, when I was younger, I used to get every summer to the US and, at one time, one of my buddies was really into this drumming thing, slamming some training square and he showed me some pretty insane videos with those drumming bands. It is pretty out there when you are not into it and the question is, is it actually an interesting or entertaining subject for a movie? I don't think so. I mean, to me, the whole obsessive, military-like behavior didn't make it really appealing. Still, I have to admit it, Nick Cannon was pretty charismatic but, at the end of the day, it just remains a pretty standard sport feature, except that you have a marching band instead of the usual football/basketball/baseball/whatever team and the whole thing was just too damned pedestrian and predictable. Anyway, to conclude, even though it wasn't really awful, it was still pretty weak and I don't think it is really worth a look.
