The Trailer

The Review

This is a feel-good movie of a predictable plot.

It is the usual storyline of where the main lead overcomes the conflict in their life to attain personal success.

As predictable as it is, the movie is still entertaining, it has excellent music score, and all that skating looks fun.

You’ll be pulsatingly fixed in your seats as you watch the Juno star Ellen Page transform her life from beauty queen to roller girl.

The Good

• Pretty looking cast
• Excellent mother-daughter chemistry

The Bad

• The cam-shots was disorientating at times
• Predictable plot might be a bore for some
