Are you sure, you want to add Whip It
to your wish list?
Storyline:
In a town near Austin, Bliss Cavendar's strong-willed mom believes Bliss, at 17, can win pageants - the key to a happy life. Bliss isn't the beauty pageant type: she's shy, quiet, and has just one friend, Pash, her fellow waitress at a diner. Things change for Bliss when she discovers a women's roller derby league in Austin, tries out, proves to be whip fast, and makes a team. Now she needs to become someone tough on the rink, keep her parents from finding out where she goes twice a week, and do something about a first crush, on a musician she meets at the derby. Meanwhile, mom still sees Bliss as Miss Bluebonnet. Things are on a collision course; will everyone get banged up?

Drew Barrymore's debut as a director is a film that reaches out to those finding themselves in this world; for those who should follow what their gut tells them all along. Indie chick Ellen Page, aka Babe Ruthless, is from a blip of a town where beauty pageants (the Blue Bonnet) are the "in" thing to do. After taking her mom to a head shop in downtown Austin she catches sight (more like stares in awe) of the roller derby girls, who seem to be floating on clouds and part of their own powerful little world. She finds her calling as well as a second family with plenty of crack ups, fun, and heartwarming moments. This movie really makes you want to watch roller derby or try out for the team next tuesday. : ) what would your roller derby name be? (B+)
Only downside for me was jimmy fallon.

kids under 13 might be bored with it and won't be appropriate for them. they don't show anything, but a bra. so if you can't find a sitter, and have to take them, it's clean.
loved this movie. the characters are great and it's in my home state of texas which i loved even more. ellen page does an awesome job and so does all the supporting cast. it made me want to join the roller derby. it's funny and heartfelt. there were no slow parts at all. i enjoyed it from start to finish. i will be buying this on dvd for sure. music is great too!

What a great movie to go see this weekend. Barrymore proved once again that if you make it, make it good. Loved the film, the action, the acting, the new faces, all of it. Saw this with my teenager and she loved it as well. Good lesson for all to learn... and I was not dissapointed at all! The reviews by the newspaper call it "lackluster" which makes me think, were they in the right theater? I wont ruin the movie for ya, just go and enjoy it...

I took my 13 year old grandson to see it and we were both surprised. It was a great movie. It was age approriate for him and kept my interest too. Very good movie and worth the price of the ticket.

This movie was fun, interesting and inspiring. The style of the movie was entertaining. I love the characters. The quirkiness of the derby girls was great. Very true to the book. The skate parts were action packed and entertaining. MUST SEE!
