Derby Rules!

Derby Rules! It'll make you want to throw on a pair of skates and jump into the movie.
Whip It was much like its lead Bliss Cavendar (Page), flawed yet persevering and in turn endearing. For a coming-of-age story, the film pretty much follows the book. What makes the film special are its many talents such as a subdued Kristen Wigg who plays Maggie Mayhem, a single mom Hurl Scout who guides Bliss along her journey. Andrew Wilson steals the show in his scenes as Razor, the often belittled but beloved Hurl Scout Coach.
I could complain that the film lacked a sense of complexity, but it was entertaining as a comedy. Definitely a must see for any teen girl.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Whip It was sweet and funny. Ellen Page is delightful even when she's not quite as quirkily confident, and the rest of the cast throw in plenty of laughs and smiles.

Very good movie. I took my teenage daughter and we enjoyed it together and had some talking points. Neighbor girl stated that she would be buying it when it came out. Ellen Page shines again, and Drew Barrymore did a good job, both as an actress and as a director.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie was a very surprising film, Drew Barrymore really did splendid work for her debut as a Director. Ellen Page shines through as she always does in these Indie films. The acting is brilliant, very believable characters. It's humorous and heart warming and I believe that anyone would enjoy seeing this film, I definitely recommend checking it out.

I was impressed by the continuity of the storyline for an initial studio effort by Drew Barrymore. Ellen Page reminds me of a young and petite Julie Roberts. The ensemble cast is well balanced in talent and ability to tell a credible story. The scene pacing is a bit slow, but it makes for an enjoyable 111 mins. I had no real complaints about the pacing except that it did not have the fast-paced punchy, or scarcastic dialog that we have become used to mainly because that is what Hollywood produces in plentitude. It was a refreshing taste of storytelling in chronological order.
Thank you Drew Barrymore for a wonderful film that is sure to have a cult following.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

really liked this movie, as a Roller Girl I was a little miffed about the illegal hits but I know they had to make it entertaining. The only major problem I had was Juliette Lewis, cant stand her in any movie but thankfully her role was pretty small. overall I was entertained.

Great coming of age movie within the rough and tumble world of Roller Derby. The movie stars Ellen Page as Bliss (later know as Babe Ruthless). Bliss is stuck in a tiny Texas town working at the local BBQ joint between stints in beauty pageant and high school.
The movie has a wonderful cast and sends a great message that we can all learn from-- be true to yourself and follow your dreams.
It was a great escape.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Every good girl has a little rebel inside. Ellen Page hits the mark with her portrayal of the perfect daughter conflicted between her hearts desire and her parents wishes. Barrymore's direction taps the irony of small town, Texas humor. Bodine, Bodine is priceless.

I'm a big fan of Drew Barrymore and thought that for her directorial debut, she did an excellent job with this movie. The first 15 minutes of the movie are a bit slow, but it still holds your interest as you find out about the characters. The roller derby scenes were great, and did not take over the movie. Go see Whip It, you will not be disappointed.

Charming, fun and very witty. Touching relationships between Bliss and her best friend, her parents, and teammates. Loved it In spite of crass Cover Girl mascara product placement where mascara is actually discussed by 2 of the characters. Since Drew is their celeb spokesperson I guess it makes sense but it was less than subtle and actually felt like a mini commercial break inserted into the movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This is mostly a sports movie with some romcom and coming-of-age thrown in, so it is good for what it is. It has all of the basic elements you would expect. Ellen Page brings her usual personality to the role... I would have loved this movie had it starred Drew Barrymore.

I'm a big fan of D Barrymore and the post-feminist girl power that she brings to most of her movies. Exhilarating to see Eve, Barrymore, Ellen Page and Juliette Lewis get on the track, skate their butts off and not call in stunt actors or safety wires. Knowing the game and lifestyle inside out, I was disappointed that the skaters weren't portrayed as career women beyond being waitresses. I realize it's a movie--it's fun to add some clothes-lining, punches and tripping but I want to see those girls pi**ed off in the penalty box for illegal moves!! There are rules to Roller Derby that set the sport apart from the theatrics of yesteryear. All in all, I thought the movie was a hit. I thought it was really funny, filmed well and directed well.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
