Chicago International Music and Movie Festival: "Roller Town" March 30, 2012

In the grand tradition of Roller Boogie and Skatetown USA (except, you know, actually funny), the first feature from Halifax-based comedy troupe Picnicface pits rollerskating, disco, and young love against the Mafia, who want to turn the local skating rink into a video arcade. Combining musical numbers, surrealist comedy, and slapstick with the finest skating scenes since at least Roll Bounce, Roller Town demonstrates that the tradition of cutting-edge Canadian comedy, from SCTV to the Kids in the Hall, is alive and well.
