Drumline (2002)

Suffers somewhat because of the obvious "everyone's got something to learn" agenda -- but not too much. Part of its charm is that you know exactly where it's headed and are comfortable with the lack of surprises. The cast is winning and the content clean enough for me to hold onto the rental so that my kids could see it (they weren't home the first time around). Who knew playing in the band could be so cool?
