SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreMy Mom has been talking about this movie for years! I remember watching this in the TV room in the basement of our house in Wilton, CT. My Mom was laughing so hard her stomach was shaking and tears were rolling off her face. I was four years old and I remember crystal clear. She asked me to run upstairs to fetch a box of Kleenex for her. The only part of the movie I remember is Tim Conway rolling down a hilly road, I think out of control.If there is any way to get this on DVD it would be the best gift I could get her so she too could see if it really was that funny or if she is nuts!! Can anyone let me know if this is available on DVD? I have looked around for it but come up empty
View MoreThis was one of the funniest movies my family has ever been privileged to see. My husband and kids literally laughed so hard that they fell on the floor. My jaw and stomach muscles ached for days afterward. I have tried for years to find information about this made-for-TV film to no avail. Most of the time there was simply NO information to be had. It was as if the media moguls just let this hilarious piece fall through the cracks into some sort of limbo. It did my heart good to see other folks so interested in seeing this film again. Laughter cures so many ills and the world sure could use some laugh medicine about now. Come on Disney, give us a smile, give us a DVD.
View MoreIt 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.
View MoreThis 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.
