The last regular season of "The ABC Movie of the Week" was very weak. Apart from a few surprise hits (such as "Trilogy of Terror"), too many of the films in 1974-75 were incredibly lame...such as "Let's Switch" and this movie, "Roll, Freddy, Roll".When the film begins, you learn that Freddy Danton (Tim Conway) is a divorced father of a young son. The son, however, seems to really admire his new step-dad and Freddy is worried he'll lose his son's love and respect. So, when a chance accident occurs and the skating rink loses his shoes, he decides to keep the skates and try to brake an endurance record for how long someone keeps their skates on without taking them off. This movie was filled with a LOT of kooky and incredibly stupid situations but it was interesting see just to actually see Conway performing his own stunts. But that was it when it came to why to see the movie. Apart from seeing Conway skate about and fall a lot, the plot is filled with stupid writing and made me annoyed the more I watched....and the ending was REALLY stupid. A huge mistake of a film that I hope never to see again.

This was one of the funniest movies my family has ever been privileged to see. My husband and kids literally laughed so hard that they fell on the floor. My jaw and stomach muscles ached for days afterward. I have tried for years to find information about this made-for-TV film to no avail. Most of the time there was simply NO information to be had. It was as if the media moguls just let this hilarious piece fall through the cracks into some sort of limbo. It did my heart good to see other folks so interested in seeing this film again. Laughter cures so many ills and the world sure could use some laugh medicine about now. Come on Disney, give us a smile, give us a DVD.

This movie had my husband and I "rolling" on the floor in laughter. I have been searching for years for "Roll Freddy Roll". This the the first time I have even seen it come up on a website, THANK YOU. Now to get Disney to bring it out on DVD or even VHS would make me very happy.Tim is one of my favorite actors and everyone should see this hilarious film. We were newly married when we watched this on TV and I have never forgotten it. I have searched the web over and over and was beginning to think I had the wrong title, I knew that Tim Conway was the main actor so continued to search. I will be using this site to search for movies that I would love to buy. Please stress that this movie needs to be brought back for my children and my grandchildren to see. Come on Disney, bring it back!

This is a funny movie about a man trying to get his son's approval. He decides to get in the Guinness Book of records by wearing roller skates longer than anyone. He ends up being a pall bearer on roller skates and whipping out of control down a parking ramp--all silly fun that's a perfect vehicle for Conway type physical humor and a good movie for kids to watch.
