About this movie

Hang onto your helmet and get ready to break away from the pack! Ellen Page scores huge laughs as Bliss Cavendar, a small-town teenager with a big dream: to find her own path in the world. Tired of following in her family's footsteps of compliance and conformity, Bliss discovers a way to put her life on the fast track...literally. She lands a spot on a rough-and-tumble roller derby team and becomes "Babe Ruthless" — the hottest thing on eight wheels! Co-starring Drew Barrymore (in her
feature film directorial debut), Marcia Gay Harden, Juliette Lewis, Daniel Stern and Jimmy Fallon, Whip It is a triumphant, free-spirited comedy loaded with high-speed action and nonstop fun!

Not sure how I didn't hear about this one when it was in theaters, but it's really a fun movie! Ellen Page is always great and seeing Drew Barrymore's directorial debut was also awesome. Great cast, enjoyable story, well-written script, and now I'm stoked to go see a roller derby bout tomorrow night! Check out your local league. :-)
