Drew Barrymore makes her bow as a director with this Roller Derby coming-of-age number, which shares the spirit of so many of Barrymore's movies: it's loosey-goosey, cheerful, and buoyant in waving its "Girls Rule!" flag. On screen, Barrymore relegates herself to a slapstick supporting role, handing the lead to Juno gal Ellen Page. Page plays a Texas teen with a yen to join Austin's Roller Derby squad, complete with new professional moniker Babe Ruthless, but she'll have to keep the side career secret from her beauty-pageant-obsessed Mom (Marcia Gay Harden) and football-watchin' Dad (Daniel Stern). A coming-of-age tale emerges between bouts of skating on the RD track (Jimmy Fallon plays the goofy Derby announcer), with a dash of romance added in the form of a generic Dude in a Band. Kristen Wiig does surrogate-mom duty as a teammate, Juliette Lewis is appropriately out-there as a track rival, and Andrew Wilson (bro of Owen and Luke) gets some hilariously poker-faced lines in as the team's coach. All the pleasant stuff makes you almost overlook how ramshackle the movie is, and how standard-issue the parental tensions (even if Harden is a total pro, as always). Ellen Page doesn't offer the innate audience-friendly cuddliness of Barrymore herself--thus her apt casting as Juno's brittle heroine--but her rapt focus is something to behold. "Babe Ruthless" indeed. --Robert Horton Stills from Whip It (Click for larger image)

I knew I would love this movie!!
I was already interested and inspired by Roller Derby and to see a movie with a kick booty cast - I figured this was a win win. I have to admit that I don't think guys will like this movie much, but I hope I'm wrong!! It's very impowering and inspiring!! The music and whole derby scene is really inviting! I highly recommend this movie!!
A MUST SEE!!!!

WHIP IT is a very well done, quirky, surprisingly enjoyable teen film that works for adults, too. My husband and I watched this with our 12 ½ year old daughter, and we all liked this movie very much. With little gore and mild sex that is more referred to than shown, WHIP IT is definitely refreshing and fun.
WHIP IT is the story of Bliss, a seventeen-year-old diner waitress in a backwater town near Austin, Texas. Bliss is basically a good girl, doing everything her overbearing mother asks, including competing in (and often winning) beauty pageants. But Bliss really wants to make more of her life, and to find her own path. When she finds a flyer advertising a Roller Derby match in Austin, she and her best friend sneak out to the big city and have an adventure. Something about the Roller Derby and the women who compete strike a chord in Bliss, and one of the teams invites her to try out. Before she quite knows what is happening, Bliss makes the team and becomes a Hurl Scout. Bliss then has many life decisions to make, each of which has significant consequences. Can Bliss find the path that will make her truly happy?
Ellen Page is delightful and dead on as Bliss. I really like the heart and soul that Ellen puts into her characters. The rest of the cast is excellent and equally talented (including director Drew Barrymore, Marcia Gay Harden, and Kristen Wiig), but Ellen Page truly carries this film. WHIP IT is well paced, slow and thoughtful where appropriate, yet full of excitement and great action at the Roller Derby. And I always like the messages from Ms. Barrymore's films...girls can do anything. Something I definitely want to instill in my 12 ½ year old.
WHIP IT is a unique combination of sports action, teen coming of age, and family genres that works and works really well. It was great evening together for my entire family, and a movie we are still talking about. WHIP IT is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Drew Barrymore does a wonderful job depicting the modern woman and Ellen Page has a funny way of showing it. Much better than I expected. Daniel Strern was great as well, he goes by the boards and is underated on a lot of his work. Ellen Page's acting is incredible, and in this story you can easily fall in love with the undertoned storyline and the effects that storyline has on Ellen page's character than the actual rollerblade story line. Great to watch. I wouldn't mind watching it again and it's well worth owning on Blu ray. In someways very predictable, in other ways you won't see it comming. Enjoy!!!!

Love this movie...low budget (or seemingly so in a good way :)) and great characters and message...go after what you love (and more importantly give this freedom to your kids). I appreciate the small Texas town representation... if you grew up any where in that area it hits home. Juliette Lewis is great as of course is Ellen Page.

Loved the movie even more than the book, Derby Girl, upon which the movie was based. Ellen Page softened the character of Bliss and I can't imagine anyone else doing a better job. The supporting cast was wonderful. The movie expanded the storyline perfectly while maintaining much of the dialogue straight from the book and best of all expanded the derby action. Kudos to Drew Barrymore in her directing debut and in her supporting role. D.B. obviously gravitates towards the girl power genre while having the knack of toning it down just enough to be enjoyable to general audiences. I truly hope the author or a screen writer comes up with a clever sequel because this was a ride that ended way too soon.
