Roll Bounce (2005)

1/4

Worthy of a 99-cent rental, if only so you can witness the howlingly awful performance by Wesley Jonathan as a self-appointed roller-disco mega-lord called "Sweetness." Kid had me in tears, I swear.

Nothing about this film is as cathartic as it tries to make itself because the characters just aren’t that absorbing. Instead of tugging your heart, it just spits in your eye.

The skating routines are a lot of fun to watch, filled with great choreography and backed by great tunes.

Actually one of the year's more pleasant surprises, though it misses being more than that through a combination of length and a sometimes sloppy, meandering screenplay.

A nice blast of character-driven nostalgia with the best use of Charlie Murphy and Wayne Brady since Chapelle snapped.

The well-blended mix of music, humor, 70s swagger and poignancy allows "Roll Bounce" to stand out. Fun and touching.
