a popular trend can be a great subject for a movie . trouble be and not all trend be timeless . one trend that i believe will never go out of style be the cult film . thanks to this little part of cinema history film that do not do so well the year they be release finally find an audience and even if what happen in the movie be very different than what we see in the present . roller boogie be one of these movie . it be somewhat of a hit at the time because roller disco be a big thing in the late 1970s and but this film come at the end of the decade and be a critical failure . over the next few decade it would develop a small cult follow and after see it for myself i can see why . pros represent the cast be game . a fun disco soundtrack . great job on the costume design and bright and colorful . fast pace . some excellent skating scene . make with a real sense of fun . some of the dopey humor be amuse . nice beach scenery . an exciting chase scene . director lester injects much energy and style into this . con represent terribly date . cliché and predictable . final thought represent win not win any award for best screenplay or acting and but so what . this be pure unpretentious fun . a real feel good movie and must for cult film buff . my rating represent 4 . 5/5 .
