Not quite whipped, but pretty good flick

Given this was Barrymore's directorial debut, it could have been worse. Though it felt like whole scenes that would have driven the emotional arcs of the characters were missing, most of the cast is just right, which I would expect from an actor turned director. Daniel Stern is the best dad ever! Juliette Lewis plays an honorable villain. Drew directs herself well, too. The only astonishing disappointment was Jimmy Fallon. If you've ever been to an LA Derby Dolls bout, then you know how fun the announcers are, and Fallon’s voice CANNOT carry the derby scenes. This movie gives you a good taste of the action, but the real derby will give you the genuine whipped topping you were craving.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
