Granted, Skatetown, U.S.A. is no Roller Boogie, but ... well, see for yourself:

The most important movie about skating gangs ever made. It's not funny. It's not romantic. I'd have been better off watching somebody fart for an hour and a half. Kudos to Patrick Swayze's career for surviving this. Ugh
Don't order pizza from the snack bar - another movie review - There's one thing that seriously ruins my enjoyment of this film. An annoying overweight worker at the snack bar who has a thing for hot dogs. This guy is just... seriously, he's disgusting! He's so gross and lacking in personal hygiene and basic cleanliness that... well, would YOU buy food from this guy? I swear, I lose all appetite (especially for hot dogs) upon seeing this guy in action. I'll be sitting there enjoying a wonderful skate dance set to gorgeous music, only to have the camera suddenly cut away to this jerk's gross antics. Edit him OUT entirely and this film would be much, much better and more carefree.
