  • Starring: Bow Wow, Meagan Good, Nick Cannon
  • Summary: In the late '70s when roller skating was a way of life, X (Bow Wow) and his pals ruled supreme. But when the doors of their local skating rink close, it marks the end of an era and the beginning of another that sees the boys venture into foreign territory - uptown's Sweetwater Roller Rink, complete with its over-the-top skaters and beautiful girls. Through his preparation for the showdown of the season - the Roller Jam skate off with the Sweetwater crew - X manages to find himself and also help his dad (McBride) get back on track.

    Bow Wow plays the skate-dance hero in a way that's never too cool to hide what an avid achiever the kid is, and he and his buddies converse in a fiendishly alert middle-class trash talk that keeps Roll Bounce jumping.

    Doesn't depart from the inspirational coming-of-age formula. But it has got enough heart and disco-fever exuberance to connect with audiences.

    For most adults, and kids raised on "South Park," the painfully earnest story won't hold much interest. And the comedy is tame.

    It was good but, it didn't have a very original plot. But its not a waste of money.

    Nothing new here. Same old stuff geared at a mainly minority group.
