So glad Hollywood finally has recognized that chicks can handle gross-out comedy, especially when it's delivered by such a stellar cast. These gals get it--and the other gaffes--absolutely right.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

It was nice to see Tom Cruise not take himself too seriously or get lost in stereotype. I haven't been a big fan of his or Cameron Diaz's in a long time but this movie totally redeemed them both.
They have great chemistry, though I would have loved to have seen more than just a few kissing scenes between them. The action is spectacular and the writing far better than most films in the genre.
Great script with tremendous authenticity. Marcia G. Harden is a standout among this likeable, amusing cast.
Whip It puts a new twist on the teen angst experience without relying on cliches and appeals to a broad audience of men, women, teens and adults. Drew Barrymore's directoral debut is an unequivocal success.
