I grew up at the end of the 4-wheel skate days, but did spend enough time at the rink to smile a few times and nod at memories. The soundtrack is fantastic. I haven't tried to track down an official soundtrack (not sure how many of the songs from the movie made it). The acting was surprisingly good. I didn't expect much out of Bow Wow. I guess it helps that the lines they were delivering were straight out of real life. The cut downs, the psyche outs, all of it, true, true, true. I even like the fact that the ending, which I will not elaborate on, is more realistic than you would expect. For a film that was practically straight formula, I was very surprised at how much fun I had watching it.

Maybe it was low expectations after seeing several middling pics in a row- but I was pleasantly surprised by Roll Bounce - an charming and fun flick about teens in the roller disco era- Bow Wow was the lead in this movie playing X a son who is still grieving for his recently deceased mother.Chi Mcbride does a great job as a father who is looking for work while trying to hold his family together and deal with the passing of his beloved.For the most part this is a comedy- the kids cut on each other the whole flick- and it is fun.The crosstown rival is Sweetness- who is like the pimpdaddy of roller disco- he has an entourage including 3 hotties who have shirts that read "a weakness for Sweetness".The gag reel has some hilarious stuff with Charlie Murphy riffing .A good coming of age flick. Probably the second best rental coming out this week-right behind 40 Year Old Virgin B+

I have seen this movie for like the 5th time. I think it is an awesome movie.Good movie for the kids, no sex or harsh language.One bad word in the whole movie and trust me most kids hear that word ever day I remember the age of roller disco and the movie brought back some really cool memories. My daughter loves BOW WOW and she has watched it several times with me. My husband, who mind you did not want to see it, actually enjoyed the movie.I laughed and i cried and put on my skates and tried to roller disco. Being in the roller derby, that was a given. Bow Wow was great in the movie. I would suggest this movie to anyone, whether they grew up with roller disco, have heard of roller disco or have never heard of roller disco. Roller disco will come back one day just like the roller derby did.. Go Harrisburg Area Roller Derby

The disco era was the favorite time of my life. I miss the music, the people and most of all the roller skating. I never mastered roller dancing, thus when I see movies like this one, I move and dance across the floor, no skates, as if I were there on the floor too.The movie has a basic plot, yet it's good.I didn't find too many objectionable words, at least not anything that "most" children has not heard before.I recommend it for anyone wanting to have fun, yet be entertained. It has a serious side as well. I was caught off guard with the destruction of the car, but I could identify with the character since I was once a single parent with two-boys. I think Nick Canon's part is a little overplayed, but that's OK.Otherwise Great Movie!
