Different Drummers

Great little movie. Fabulous cast. Entertaining... exciting- had me and my grandson sitting up screaming NOOOOOO- we laughed, we cried, we cheered! It also deals with the sensitive topic of illness during a time when children are really too young to understand it's limitations. This movie is the full-meal deal. We absolutely loved it!! Don't miss it!

Different Drummers is a "tell all your friends" movie. When people ask me what makes this movie one I highly recommend, I am quick to tell them it's a TRUE story. A story of two young boys - one with Muscular Dystrophy and one diagnosed with ADHD- who experience an unlikely connection and develop a treasured friendship. They help each other tackle problems, dream big dreams, and navigate limitations.

I was pleased to discover that the movie stays true to the book and maintains the essence of this tender story. The characters are believable, sensitive, and brave. There may be tears at the end, but rest assured that you will smile when you think of this uplifting story.

I haven't met a person yet who didn't love this movie. It's one of those you could watch several times - as I have done. Many people have quit going to movies because of the unexpected "trashiness" contained in most shows. Not DD. It is a great family movie that anyone can watch and enjoy. Remember, this is based on a true story which is authenticated at the beginning of the credits. Different Drummers is a true "diamond in the rough". A refreshing, emotional, funny story. It will touch all your emotions! I encourage everyone to see this show and that they encourage others to see this show to support good wholesome entertainment that the movie industry is so drastically lacking.

i loved everything about this movie! i loved it so much i would definitely see it again!! :) awesome story and awesome actors and actresses. i cant say enough about how much i loved this movie and how i would go see it over and over again!! i went all the way into downtown Spokane to see the movie when it was just at the one theater. i am so excited that it is at the theater close to my house now. the acting in this move is awesome! I love all the local acting in this movie. this is the first locally produced movie that i have seen in a long time and i love that Spokane is back out on the big screen! :) everyone please go see this!!

I think this movie did an excellent job of portraying the meaning of friendship,the mystery of why bad things happen to good people, the frustration of fighting through injustice, and the complexity of self-doubt, wondering both whether we have done enough for our cause, and what role,if any, God plays in our problems.

It was a very simple story and a very emotional one, plus it was one to which it was easy for just about anyone to relate. It was also much more emotional that I expected, and there were many handkerchiefs and Kleenexes in use during the movie.

Both of the lead actors quickly became believable and real. The distinction between how Lyle affected his principal, and how he affected many other adults was an example of which all adults should take note, too.
