User Reviews

Painfully dull with fleeting moments of interest

The parts of this movie that actually show the roller derby in the late 60's was quite interesting, but all the stuff showing the white trash people's lives and the guy who wants to join was awful and boring as heck. For a dude that never took off his shades, the main character was super uncool.
