True bandos can see themselves in this exuberant, charismatic and lovingly accurate college marching-band movie that faked no flavor while staying in step with themes of instruction, character and respect.

...though the movie does overstay its welcome, it's never boring and the majority of the music is infectiously catchy...

Offers little that's surprising or groundbreaking, but, because the script is smart enough not to insult us and to develop a group of interesting characters, the act of watching the film is an entertaining experience rather than a tedious exercise.

Charles Stone III is a craftsman with brains and taste, an instinctive sense of where to put the camera and the discipline not to belabor scenes.

I love that we get into this world of marching bands. We barely see any football players -- we see the top of their helmets as they're getting out of the way.
