Movie Reviews of Roller Boogie
Movie Review: One star is too many!
Summary: 1 Stars
OK, that's a little harsh. One star is probably not too many for a movie that isn't really a "movie" in the sense of having a coherent plot, credible dialogue, minimal acting skills, etc. "Roller Boogie" would have made a perfect Charlie's Angels episode -- in fact, it did, when Jaclyn, Farrah and Kate (or their stunt doubles) donned their four-wheel, suede-booted skates and chased the bad guys down Venice Beach.
But the Angels were the Angels; everything they did was in the greater service of looking good, acting very little, and trying not to laugh their way through ridiculous plots. "Roller Boogie", on the other hand, offers us Queen of the B's Linda Blair surrounded by a bevy of nonactors, a raft of horrendous disco songs (this stuff makes the Bee Gees sound like great art), and endless choreographed disco-on-skates numbers. Round, and round, round and round the kids skate. And the bad guys lose at the end.
How did we ever survive the 80's?
Movie Review: Another Great Bad Movie!
Summary: 1 Stars
This has always been my favorite "bad movie". From the opening roller disco scene where they "boogie" on their skates all over LA, to the bad flute playing. This movie is a real hoot. Although Linda Blair is very cute, she is a bit on the chunky side for mainstream movies. Her love interest, is just a bit "fey" and petite if you ask me. By the ending sequence, during the big roller disco contest, you can just about see the guy wires enabling him to toss her around and over as if she is light as a feather. Of course you have your requisite bad guys--the guy that played Don in Lost In Space--and the clueless parents who don't understand their misunderstood daughter--this just makes it a "Must See".
