Roll Bounce is a 2005 film starring rapper Bow Wow, Chi McBride, Kellita Smith and Jurnee Smollett. It is directed by Malcolm D. Lee. The title is quite possibly heavily inspired by the song "Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll" by Vaughn Mason.
Set in 1978 Chicago, Roll Bounce tells the story of a boy named Xavier (nicknamed "X") whose mother has died, leaving him with his father and his sister. After the local roller rink closes down, X and his friends are forced to skate in the ritzy uptown rink "Sweetwater". Tired of being disrespected by the skaters at Sweetwater, the group enters a roller disco contest. Their biggest rivals are the 5-year champion, Sweetness (Wesley Jonathan) and his crew. The film centers on X training for the competition while trying to work through problems with his father and his love interest, Naomi (Meagan Good).
Supporting actors include Brandon T. Jackson, Marcus T. Paulk, Khleo Thomas, Nick Cannon, Rick Gonzalez, Charlie Murphy, Mike Epps, and Wayne Brady.
