Summary: Save Your $ For Something More Worthwhile!
Review: Unlike the last reviewer, I have seen this movie -- Back when it was called "Prayer of the Rollerboys" -- and it's pretty bad, even for post "License to Drive" Corey Haim. Trust me, my husband LOVES this movie, so I've seen it a lot, mainly because I made the mistake of buying it for him one Christmas. This is the type of flick that Joel/Mike and the bots love to hate on MST3K. It's like a particularly bad train wreck, or an episode of Beavis and Butthead -- it's so horrible, but you can't turn away from it. You have to watch it all the way through to its cheesy end. The storyline is absolutely awful, rendering any acting talent in the film quite useless. I was particularly upset to see Patricia Arquette in such a stinker; I usually enjoy her performance, no matter how bad the film. This was an exception.

Do yourself a favor -- spend that hard-earned $ on something you'll enjoy, like "The Lost Boys." Now that was Corey Haim in his prime!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Unwittingly relevant
Review: Well well well, how do you review a film which has obviously been written and directed by a chimp. And not one of those cool rollerskate chimps who smoke cigars, but a stinky Gregory chimp. This film is amazing you have to buy it. The premise of the story revolves around a caravan that mixes stuff. Enter Haim who skates around for a bit, followed by his friends whom all wear the same horrible jackets. The jackets designed to make them look menecing and cool, look as though a blind cat nailed to a skateboard made them. This film is the best. Where else can you see Haim ( quite litrally as he is a wash out ) go around on "ultra cool in 91" roller blades trying to stop a group of mullets and their caravan. No one in this film deserves to win the day, and as the film continues you wish someone would put a stick on the floor so they all fall and break their noses. You must buy this excellent film. Much better than titanic and gladiator
