Ted Skates

About This Movie

'Ted Skates' has this laid-back vibe that feels like a throwback to simpler comedies. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it somehow works with the story’s heart. The film revolves around a roller rink that’s fading into obscurity, and our lead, the new manager, is trying to reignite that passion among her eclectic crew. It captures that desperation to save something you love, which is relatable. The performances have this rawness to them, not overly polished, but they bring a certain charm. And while it may not boast high-end effects, the practical elements of the rink—like the skating itself—add a tactile authenticity. It’s a quirky little gem that speaks to anyone who’s ever felt the need to hold onto something special.
