Skateland (2011)
Director and Writer Anthony Burns brings a coming of age tale to the big scren starting Shiloh Fernandez and Ashley Greene. A 19 year old boy that works at the local roller rink has no idea what to do with his life, stuff happens.
There is not much new here and the ultimate conclusion of the film that the main character should just go to college is a real weak way out. For anyone that grew up in the 80s one of the highlights of the film is no doubt the sound track although a mix tape would work equally as well as watching this film. About the only shining light in this film is the really good performance of Ashley Greene but other than that there is not a whole lot to recommend this film above it's numerous rivals.
3/5 average 80s coming of age tale.
