DVD Reviews of Roll Bounce - Full Screen

DVD Review: Sweetness!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars

I ordered this movie and it came within a few days, I've never had a problem out of Amazon. Anyway, I watched a "bootleg" copy. I enjoyed the movie so much that I purchased it. I am not here to tell you the entire plot of the movie but what I will say is that it was enjoyable from beginning to end. Bow Wow did a great acting job and for those of you who enjoy "old School" roller skating, you'll like this film. Thanks....and as always...YMMV. Neosoul06

DVD Review: Nice movie for the whole family
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a very nice entertaining movie for the whole family to watch. I think that Bow Wow and all of the other young actors did very well. It was about of bunch of young kids in the 70's growing up and having fun, and standing by each other. Bow Wow's character is dealing with the death of his mother while going through growing pains. He enters a skating contest and tries to win for his mother.
The only fault that I found with this movie is the way that the teenagers didn't seem to know who the Bee Gees were. Now I know that during the 70's everybody knew who the Bee Gees were.

DVD Review: Not too shabby....
Summary: 4 Stars

Very entertaining and even Bow Wow was good in this movie ..... it has alot of funny parts but the end battle was a bit long .... and I can clearly see that was not BoW Wow rippin' it like that .... but my kids like it and on a boring Saturday evening and nothing on tv we like to watch it.....

DVD Review: You Got Rolled
Summary: 1 Stars

In perhaps the stupidest movie concept of all time, Bow Wow leads a cast of young, mostly black actors, who will stoop so low as to "star" in a "movie" with someone named "Bow Wow". Roll Bounce has as much heartfelt drama as gastrointestinal surgery, and does nothing but create a black hole of suckage from which no serious actor will ever emerge. When this movie gets approved, you know the integrity is at an all time low in Hollywood.

The premise is simple enough: kids dance-skate in competitions. Bow Wow is their leader, and he leads in the most pathetic way possible, with bad acting, idiotic lines, and a collection of scenes only a mother could love. It's truly awkward, in a "parents catching their teenagers having sex"-way. The circular skating rink action reminded me of nothing more than a turd circling the bowl, except the movie stinks slightly more.

Of course there is some sort of strife, some challenge to be overcome. Naturally, it pits the stereotypical, down on their luck, once-dissed group of Bow Wow sycophants versus the rich, bad guys, who happen to be a tad whiter - evidently it's a necessity to divide among racial lines in order to get anyone to like this movie. Of course, the eventual ultimate battle, the most foreshadowed and anti-climactic climax in the history of cinema pits Bow Wow against a skating version of Afro Ninja. The movie is replete with 70s slang, teenage cracks that can only make an imbecile laugh, and contrived situational humor written into the script by someone with a sense of humor similar to people who laugh at the jokes on America's Funniest Home Videos.

The only redeemable aspect of this movie is that Charlie Murphy makes multiple cameo appearances. Otherwise, it's painfully horrible, and should only be viewed by extreme masochists.

DVD Review: Pleasantly surprised.
Summary: 4 Stars

I didn't expect to like this movie and if it hadn't been for the fact I'd just returned from a busy business trip and was too tired to look for the remote control, I wouldn't have watched this film. But, boy am I glad that I did. What an wonderful nostalgic film. Some times you forget just how fast fads come and go and I totally remember the roller skaking days and hanging out at the roller rink or when my favorite film was Roller Boogie. Ha! Anyway, I enjoyed not just the throwback elements but that it had a solid story showing how a father and son reconnect after losing the family's matriach. Watch this film. You'll be glad you did.

Description of Roll Bounce - Full Screen

ROLL BOUNCE is the freshest, funkiest, coming-of-age comedy on wheels! It's the late '70s when roller skating to soul tunes and disco was a way of life for teen skater Xavier (Bow Wow) and his pals. But when their local rink closes, "X" and his crew must pull together as a team to try and win big money at a rival rink's Roller Jam skate off!

Could anything be more charming than a movie about five boys in the 1970s who aspire to nothing more than to be kings of the roller rink floor? Rapper/actor Bow Wow, no longer Li'l, takes a step towards adulthood as X (short for Xavier), a teenager grappling with the loss of his mother and finding his identity on wheels. Though Roll Bounce culminates in a skating contest, the path it takes is loose and rambling--which is its strength. Rather than building inexorably to the big contest, Roll Bounce takes time to explore its world--the camaraderie of X and his pals, the struggles of his father (Chi McBride, I, Robot) to find a job--without wallowing pointlessly in the ephemera of the '70s. The movie saves most of the skating spectacle for the end, but when it comes, it delivers; the characters have dance moves on skates most people couldn't do on their feet. Roll Bounce isn't going to change the history of cinema or is even particularly original, but it is enormously likable and heartfelt. The actors--including Khleo Thomas (Holes), Meagan Good (The Cookout), Nick Cannon (Drumline), Mike Epps (Next Friday), Charlie Murphy (King's Ransom), and Kellita Smith (The Bernie Mac Show)--are clearly enjoying themselves. That, combined with roller-skating razzle-dazzle, makes for a cheerful, infectious movie. --Bret Fetzer
