Featured reviews
The good thing about this movie is that it doesn't take itself seriously even as a comedy. Yes, some of the humor is juvenile, vulgar even or just plain not funny but Imo their are just as many parts where this offbeat comedy completely works. It makes fun of itself as well as the entire decade of the 1970's especially the disco era. I loved the music especially sung by the guys that are spoofing the Bee Gee's known here as The Boogaloo's. I literally cracked up when they sang "It's F*** O' clock!". The actors,writers and director did a good job of making this a fun movie to laugh and make fun of. Just go into this knowing that it's a completely stupid movie and you should enjoy it if you have a wacky sense of humor. I hope to see more from them in the future.
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.
This film had me "rolling" with laughter. So light hearted and inspiring. Definitely one of the best skating movies ever made.
"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.

How did the ratings get to be over 7 so far? All the cast and crew voting for it? If I knew it was made in Canada, I would have not gone to see it in the first place. I gave it three stars, because I can only remember laughing three times in the whole movie. A couple of the actors were pretty good in it, but really poor effects, lines, some things that just made no sense at all. What is the obsession with corn? You will have to see it to know what I am referring to. I think the Government of Canada needs to rethink who it gives grants or money to. It looked like a TV movie, but then too many people would have changed the channel. Save your money, let it have its limited run in the theatres.
