  • Its smoother moments play to the strengths of director Malcolm D. Lee... ROLL BOUNCE rates a friendly nod.

    craptastic

    Its got someone in it called 'Lil Bow Wow.'

    This says it all, a retarded name for a retarded film. I heard they are bringing out a sequel starring an actor named 'Lemonjello Sexcopter-Happycat III'

    THIS WAS A AWESOME FILM

    This film is for everyone who enjoyed the Roller Disco era and especially the nostalgia and listening to all those great hits from way back and new remixed versions of great songs. The movie was for those who still wish we were still there. Recommend this movie to everyone.

    Cheesy!

    This film was very cheesy, mostly at the end in the skate-off! Also I didnt think the acting was that great, but overall, it is an easy to watch film.

    Great family film

    This has everything a family film needs. Lots of humour for the adults, great music, and my 7 & 10 year old loved it.

    A quick sum up

    The only thing that was found merely intresting about this film was their roller skating. The actual story line was typical boy knows girl the fall in love...Nick Cannon, your a waste, this film is by no means the best. if i could give no stars i would

    Love it

    I loved this film! I was feeling a bit down and this film really cheered me up. the music was great and although it was predicatable and the acting wasn't exactly a*, it was a good, no need to engage your brain, light hearted fun film. I really want get my skates down from the loft now, but not as much as I'd love to have a 'fro!

    Why?

    I would've thought the only species that would enjoy this would be aliens, only because they probably would know little or nothing about movies! Seriously bad bad crap!
