"roller Boogie" is an absolute time capsule. It features Linda Blair at her ultimate cutest and a full bevy of roller skating teens. Undoubtedly this is the best roller boogie movie ever made! Which isn't saying much, but still its enjoyable fluff from start to finish, and considering its run time of over two hours, it never gets dull.

Terry barkley is a talented musician who'd rather skate at the local hot spot than get into Julliard! Wow, there s plot to root for. Her father, played by Roger Perry of "Facts of Life" fame, is not thrilled. Doesn't matter, Terry's heart is in her skates. But watch out, there are bad guys, rotten land-developers who want the roller rink for themselves! And they'll do anything to get it! Can Terry and Bobby save the day and win the big roller contest? DAre we hope? OK, you won't be on pins and needles, the plot in this flick is telegraphed so a two year old could get it.

Like I said, though, Roller Boogie is a time piece. If you want to see life in southern California in the late 70's this is it. I actually felt sorry for some of the guys and gals cause those outfits were really skin-tight! Linda looks great though. Jimmy Bray doesn't make an impression and that does hurt the film, but just enjoy the silly music, the stunts, some of which are righteous and the cheesy plot and your'e bound to have a good time. Note the extreme sports preview when Terry and Bobby are on the run and cross a pipeline! The party scene is also classic and was ripped off a dozen times after this.

Roller boogie has it all, pathos, passion, pepperoni! Hey, you can't take this too seriously, just enjoy and let your'e brain freeze.

Terry Barkley (Linda Blair) is a rich Beverly Hills kid who loves her roller-skating. She gets into the roller-skating scene at the beach.

It's disco. It's the beach. It's a lot of leering at a certain lady area. It's a roller-skate dance movie. It's all very cheesy. It's probably the height of the roller-skating fad which married into the disco era. It's a young Linda Blair trying to be more than the Exorcist girl. I've always wondered if she could have worked more as a scream queen. She could have carved out a more successful career that way. This is what it is. It's not tricking anybody. If anything, Linda is doing a lot more roller-skating than I expected. The acting and the story is another matter. Non of that is any good. It's telling that non of the other young actors are big names before or after this. The movie seems to have cast to roller-skating skills than acting skills.
