Good little guilty pleasure film, 7 May 2002
Author: phatbleek from Woodbridge,VA

Rooftops is sort of Robert Wise's version of his West Side Story set in the eighties. The film has capoeria, karate and street fights. The film featured many young actors like Jason Gedrick, Tisha Campbell and Allen Payne. I like this movie though.
