The film stars hip hop artist Bow Wow as the leader of a roller skating crew in 1970s Chicago.

The film also includes Nick Cannon, Meagan Good, Brandon T. Jackson, Wesley Jonathan, Chi McBride, Kellita Smith, Jurnee Smollett and Mike Epps.

At the skating competition Xavier and his team "the Garden Boys" are set to go last so the Sweetwater Rollers can steal their original song choice "Le Freak".

Xavier throws out every move he knows and is set to win when he attempts a triple Lutz jump, but falls and loses the competition.

The website's critics consensus reads: "Roll Bounce dazzles us with a classic late 1970's feel, but this coming of age film could have been more than just a spin around the roller rink.
