Lyle and his best friend, David, test their grade-school principal, the laws of gravity, and the existence of God.

Tom Keogh

There's a sense of unstructured play about "Different Drummers," a kind of ambling from one whimsical activity to the next without much regard for following rules of tidy, traditional storytelling.

Rated: 3/4

The simple problem with Different Drummers is that it is playing out of its league.

It could possibly have been a pretty good film, but as it is, it's barely watchable, as it's far too cheesy and childish. Maybe it was meant to be a kiddies' film after all?

Bad acting and bad scripting make this earnest attempt at a wholesome depiction of late childhood unintentionally laughable on multiple occasions.
