Top critics, in their words
Fresh
It will remind you what it was like to be a teenager during the last few days of summer. And even though the plot is a little thin, you probably won't even notice until long after the music stops.
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
Fresh
The end of the dismal summer movie season couldn't have been blessed with a more satisfying coda than the rollicking, funny, relentlessly cheery and genuinely touching spirit that makes Roll Bounce a captivating delight from start to finish.
Ted Fry, Seattle Times
Fresh
A movie made in the spirit of: what the world needs now is a bit of innocent diversion.
Susan Walker, Toronto Star
Fresh
If it doesn't exactly kick out the jams, it does move them around a little bit.
Mike Clark, USA Today
