The film is 30 minutes too long, and is about Devon (Nick Cannon), a hotshot drummer from New York who comes down south to ply his trades, hit on the hot upperclassman dance squad member, tick off the resident hotshot drummer on the marching band, and butt heads with the traditional marching band director played by Orlando Jones (“Evolution”).
