(rated PG-13, 134 mins.)
A teen hip hopping kid from Harlem (Nicolodeon’s Nick Cannon) wins a musical scholarship to a big southern university. Suddenly this fish out of water has to compete on a team that takes their Broadway style marching band as seriously as they take their peach pie. Orlando Jones does a fine job as the band’s director in this good-hearted story with positive values (in rapper sportsmanship style) in a storyline that’s original and refreshing from the usual football competitive movies.
