Listonixio Fresh and Exciting

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

MartinHafer The last regular season of "The ABC Movie of the Week" was very weak. Apart from a few surprise hits (such as "Trilogy of Terror"), too many of the films in 1974-75 were incredibly lame...such as "Let's Switch" and this movie, "Roll, Freddy, Roll".When the film begins, you learn that Freddy Danton (Tim Conway) is a divorced father of a young son. The son, however, seems to really admire his new step-dad and Freddy is worried he'll lose his son's love and respect. So, when a chance accident occurs and the skating rink loses his shoes, he decides to keep the skates and try to brake an endurance record for how long someone keeps their skates on without taking them off. This movie was filled with a LOT of kooky and incredibly stupid situations but it was interesting see just to actually see Conway performing his own stunts. But that was it when it came to why to see the movie. Apart from seeing Conway skate about and fall a lot, the plot is filled with stupid writing and made me annoyed the more I watched....and the ending was REALLY stupid. A huge mistake of a film that I hope never to see again.

Moax429 I remember seeing "Roll, Freddy, Roll" when it first aired on December 17, 1974; I had just begun junior high school in Lansing, Michigan.Seeing this film again would bring back many great memories; unfortunately, the last time I saw "Roll, Freddy, Roll" was in 1987 when an independent station here in Detroit ran it. Naturally, the station cut the film in order to fit the time slot (without commercials, "Roll, Freddy, Roll" ran about an hour and 40 minutes).I discovered Disney now owns "Roll, Freddy, Roll;" in mid-1995 they purchased ABC, whose former ABC Circle Films division produced the film (ABC Circle Films was later responsible for "Moonlighting").In unity there is strength, and the more requests Disney receives about "Roll, Freddy, Roll," the quicker they'll dig into their vaults, unearth it, and put it on DVD!

tom sawyer It has been years since I even thought of this movie. When I first saw this I laughed my ass off. I had always known that Tim Conway was funny. Some of his best stuff was on the Carol Burnett Show, where his improvisation was second to none. Conway was also a very understated comedian playing a bumbling ensign on McHale's navy. In Roll Freddy Roll, he is at his physical comedy best as a dad trying to impress his son by getting into the world record book. The situations he gets into as a man who wearing his roller skates everywhere to break a record is great. The story is simple and very funny. The supporting cast is also very credible and play off Conway's physical humor very well. If you ever get a chance to watch this movie do so, and with the whole family, they will love it.As a comedian Conway has always been underrated and in some area underappreciated. Roll Freddy Roll, shows you why Conway was so funny. Yes, this isn't the Bard, but this little made-for-t.v. movie is very funny and entertaining. I just sorry they didn't do some kind of sequal or follow up to it.

Bailey-6 This is a funny movie about a man trying to get his son's approval. He decides to get in the Guinness Book of records by wearing roller skates longer than anyone. He ends up being a pall bearer on roller skates and whipping out of control down a parking ramp--all silly fun that's a perfect vehicle for Conway type physical humor and a good movie for kids to watch.
