ThiefHott Too much of everything
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Byg Hoss I loved this movie. I didn't think I would but I found myself glued to the set. Bow Wow did a good job and the young cast of guys as his friends were funny. I also love the to girls. The character Tori reminds me of a girl from school was was an ugly duckling on minute then the next she's a hottie. Megan Good is just AMAZINGLY beautiful. Sweetness was SOOOOOO funny. Just the way that character was written just was awesome. I also loved his group that rolled with him. They were funny as well. Mike Epps and Charlie Murphy providing the comic relief was a great touch. All in all it was well worth the watch and I just might rewatch again one day.It wasn't the greatest thing ever but it wasn't as bad as most people have said it was.
awparran 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!
Sherazade A young boy (bow wow) enters an unattainable skating contest in order to win prize money when he realises that his father has been keeping a secret from him and his little sister about the real state of the family's financial affairs. There is also the issue of the death of the boy's mother which is a lingering but undressed subject until the culminating points of the film.Meagan Good co-stars as bow wow's love interest and Nick Cannon plays a perpetually high roller blading superstar in this very predictable, sometimes corny, cliché ridden, lame joke running wannabe hilarious comedy.
lone_jafa Great movie! Probably because I was not expecting it to be so CLEAN. Black movies have a tendency to slide into reality and over-reality very quickly. This movie was so much fun! From the first rink that reminded me of the dodgy places I use to skate back in the day in New Zealand to the Vegas rink that was up town. The lights, the feel and the vibes made it very entertaining. Sure it was cliché but at least the soundtrack was awesome. Nowadays it's gangs, drugs and guns. I am sure some of us always look back on the good old days with rose tinted glasses and this movie is a testimony to that. Great escapism! When the father comes home and catches the boys slacking off - that was a trip down memory lane...Great Music! Great nostalgia! Everybody needs a little light under the sun!!!
