(1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 50% Rotten Page   1   C "Lee frequently blocks the sheer fun of the project, which is the only element he has in his favor."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "Bow Wow on roller skates: what more do you need to know?"   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2/4 "There's a nice little gem of a movie hidden within Roll Bounce, and a tired, needlessly schmaltzy one."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman C "Comes to life only when the characters are roller skating, which is not often enough."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B "High-spirited, well-acted, and even a bit more substantive than I could have anticipated."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2.5/4 "...a serviceable and nostalgic coming-of-age kiddie comedy that resonates...has enough heart and soul to capture the giddy delight of its festive confines."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng B- "Cinematic cotton candy, but it goes down easily, even if there's not a lot of nourishment in it."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/4 "Frothy, sentimental and thoroughly good-natured, Malcolm D. Lee's tale of coming-of-age at the roller disco doesn't have an original bone in its body, but it's as energetic, eager to please and endearing."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "A perfectly splendid evocation not only of the late 1970s but of a lost slice of American childhood..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/5 "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."   Film Threat   Michael Ferraro B+ "An evocative coming of age story that is sweet, funny, touching, and completely genuine. And it has a superbly selected soundtrack of 70's gems."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2.5/4 "A frothy blend of sports drama clichés and Sixteen Candles-esque angst with a knack for authentic period detail."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 1.5/5 "as much a recollection of a simpler time or of growing up amidst a post-‘60s backdrop as MTV’s vacant reality show The 70’s House"   Filmcritic.com   Pete Croatto 2/5 "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."   DVDTalk.com   Scott Weinberg C+ "... a shamelessly familiar concoction of dramatic cliches that recalls everything from Saturday Night Fever to Strictly Ballroom to Bring It On."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 4/5 Read review   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski  (1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 50% Rotten Page   1
