Great Family Fun (Roll, Bounce), 26 September 2005

It is so refreshing to see a movie about blacks that is decent and
wholesome. This movie Roll, Bounce which is set in the 70's during the
prime era of disco and roller skating.
This movie deals with two major plot points. The first is that of a
competitive spirit of class and will. When Bow Wow's (X), hometown
roller rink is closed they have to go uptown to a more ritzy skating
place knowing as "SweetWater" which the king of that rink is a very
arrogant skater pimp named "Sweetness". You have the epic battle of
good versus evil in a way with "X" vs "Sweetness". The movie also just
looks at what a normal teenager would be engaged in in the 70's.
X and his friend have nice banter and playful dialogue with each other.
The second major plot point is of that of X and his father, who lost
their mother and wife respectively and each of them are trying to deal
with it. It is a touching scene in the movie when they both clash heads
over their idea of their dead loved one. That scene was very intense.
This movie is very clean and family friendly. It was a nice movie in
which I wouldn't mine watching again. Hollywood need to make more
movies like this that don't include sex scenes and bad language.
Excellent Job. I give this movie and 8.
This is a must see!
