My Review:

                Roll Bounce is a teen/ comedy film. The story happens in 1970's where roller skating gained prominence in America. The lead character of the film is Xavier 'X' Smith who skates just for fun on the road while going to school, work etc. He teams up with his friends to compete for a team roller skating competition at a place known as 'Sweetwater'. The competition is ruled by the player called Sweetness, a talented skater. The movie shapes up into a match up between X and Sweetness.

                Well there were many ridiculous sub-plots in the film that damaged the credibility of the movie. There were many boring scenes involving X and his father, Curtis Smith and others. The acting was good from Bow Wow and decent from McBride. The scenes and stunts near the climax were good.

My Rating: 5.5/10

Recommendation: 50-50!!! Just a feel good movie for time pass... Nothing Exceptional...
