Roller Town

I like Picnicface but after watching this I wanted them to quit sketch comedy and go full time into filmmaking because Roller Town is phenomenal. It's a cult movie by design. The jokes and gags are dumb and smart at the same time. The humor hits every note; dark, dirty, goofy, campy, slapstick, and so on. The whole movie is just joke after joke, so when I meet a fellow Roller Town fan and we get to quoting it, we go on endlessly.

The most impressive thing, in my opinion, is how the movie never runs out of steam. Lots of comedy movies like this usually unravel near the end, i.e., all the good bits are frontloaded and the premise eventually wears thin. Roller Town overcomes this-the film never drags, it stays funny to the glorious end.

I have probably watched Roller Town 10 or 11 times. It's one of my favorites ever. I once put it on in a room full of distracted people as background ambience and 10 minutes later the whole room was glued to it, laughing hysterically.

Cannot recommend enough. Roller Town.

Roller Town?

Roller Town.

"Rollertown" is nothing short of a sublime masterpiece, operating on multiple levels to grant an audience the time of their lives. Performances offered by Mark Little and Evany Rosen stand out, yet the entire ensemble cast shines brighter than any star in our universe.

It is as impossible to count how many times I have watched this movie, as it is to number how many times this film has brought me to tears, laughter, and expressions of pure joy.

The Canadian feature has earned not only a place in my personal all time favorite films, but a place in my all time favorite experiences. Without a shadow of doubt, pinicface's bold and courageous film will live on throughout history as a unique and thrilling comedy ride. I count myself fortunate to have been taken along for that ride, and I recommend anyone with the means to have a crack on the heavenly roller coaster that is "rollertown" as well.

This film had me "rolling" with laughter. So light hearted and inspiring. Definitely one of the best skating movies ever made.

I have no clue why people are giving this such bad reviews, maybe they were just born without a sense of humor, maybe they wanted this to be more The Usual Suspects. All I know is the theater I saw this in was cracking up the entire time. This movie is loaded with parts that will make you laugh so bad you feel a 6 pack coming on. This film is not intended to be for humorless adults, it is intended to be a movie for a bunch of people to watch together in a basement and have a great time at a badly made very funny film. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes the movie Mystery Team (another film made by a comedy group who got their start on youtube). Can not wait to see it again.

"Roller Town" is a modern roller disco film that was made in the hotbed of roller skating, Nova Scotia. In many ways, it's a parody of "Roller Boogie", though I think "Roller Boogie" is a funnier film simply because it was never intended as a comedy--but was so unintentionally funny. Occasionally, "Roller Town" almost managed to be a good film...almost. I will admit that it did make me laugh a few times (such as with the Roller Skating Conservatory and talk of the girl being a 'classically trained' skater!), but most of the time the jokes fall very flat. And, a few times the jokes are just disgusting and stupid--such as references to oral gratification, urination and the OVER-FREQUENT use of words for genitalia instead of actual punchlines for the jokes. In many ways, it seems like a homemade film made by some middle schoolers--albeit reasonably talented middle school kids! My recommendation is that if you'd like to see a 70s retro film, try "Black Dynamite". It's so much funnier and better made and a much better sendoff of decade.
