Ritchie Wheeler (and his last name should give you an indication of just how terrible this film is) works at Skateland, a skating rink that is about to be closed down because the property is “worth more than the business.” He interacts with his friends during the summer after their senior year of high school.
Just so fucking terrible. I hated this god damned movie. There is maybe three minutes total of rollerskating. That is just ridiculous. It is pure melodrama bullshit. The characters are insipid. Everything they do is boring, their conversations are ludicrous, and the point of the movie is non-existent. Garbage.
A positive note: the film actually looks very nice and is well shot. The acting is fine, although its hard for the actors to make the boring bullshit they have to spout seem anything but wooden.
This is PG-13, although a strong R would have been much more interesting. It could have used some rough language and nudity. This is supposed to be a “throwback” to 80s movies, but it lacks the sense of campy fun those movies had. This movie is just boring, which is what happens when a movie tries to engage you emotionally but fails. Fuck “Skateland.”
2/10
