Critic Reviews for Rooftops
All Critics (20) | Top Critics (10) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (18)
Wise's youthful, great-looking cast exudes talent and energy.
It's cliche-ridden, poorly acted and, worst of all, indifferently danced.
The biggest letdown is the paucity of dance sequences that could have vaulted Rooftops into memorability.
"Rooftops" is a film you think you know soon after it begins, and you're right.
It's B-grade teen saga stuff, but in the hands of an old pro like Wise, Rooftops is fairly watchable.
Wise's return to the 'street-sussed musical' is painfully disappointing: a parade of frantic, vacuous gestures which, like combat dancing itself, simply never delivers the punch...
