Roll Bounce is a comedy but at its core it was an amazing movie about a family struggling with grief. Everybody in the movie did really well.

@marisolmontesdeoca6247 Месяц назад

Roll Bounce is a great family movie. It is a clean movie with a positive message about family, friendship, and love. The writers didn't have to resort to vulgar language or over-sexualizing individuals. Anyone can relate to this movie and appreciate how it captures the coming of age. A+++

His approach was absolutely genius. He emphasize that old school villian. Even his entrance rolling out slow in a semi "I know karate Pose" with his hands like this🤙🤙. He reminded me of ShoNuff da Masta and Jim Kelly..without being a rip off. Sweetness still had his own persona.

@Megaredronin Месяц назад

If you dont play the politics and kiss ass you dont get the roles thats why so many talented people like him are not as successful or popular as we know they can and should be!!

@ShadowX2406 Месяц назад

@@MegaredroninThat part will always be unfortunate. Because you have some quality actors/actresses who are dedicated to their craft and who are deserving to show their talents on screen. As Wesley and you mentioned, the red tape and ass kissing politics keeps ppl like them from showing their talents on the big screen. Especially when they represent us as a culture.

Ive always loved Wesley n thought he was a great actor definitely doesnt get the recognition he deserves either n as far as roll bounce goes his role was iconic like he did that not many words said but jus his charisma n aura made that role the best n the movie frfr definitely couldn't see usher or Omarion pulling that off !!!

He really did play that part to be honest! He really did play that part to be honest! I don’t know if I could see Omarion playing the part….now Usherrrrrr hmmmm I guess I could see it. But honestly I wouldn’t change it even if I had a chance, Jonathan Wesley did that part justice in my opinion.
