Different Drummers (2013)

I love this movie so much

Wonderful character development!

This is an astonishing documentary that will wring your heart while it bends your mind

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

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 first read the book, which was great and highly recommend it for kids, teens and adults. Unlike many film adaptations of a true story, this film really took what I had read, formed in my imagination and made the characters come alive. Brayden Tucker portraying the hyperactive Lyle Hatcher was absolutely brilliant. Ethan Reed McKay played a convincing, believable David Dahlke. This film brought me back to my own childhood in so many ways. It was a wonderful portrayal of friendship and families and school in the 1960s. The complex issues of death, disease, and being different are shown through the eyes of these two lovable, "sometimes naughty" boys. I think it's a must-see for anyone who interacts with a child with disabilities. Lyle doesn't seem to realize that David's limitations are anything that should stand in the way of their fun or their friendship. Warning-- bring tissues!

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.
