Whip It on DVD

Whip it: Drew Barrymore makes her directorial debut in this coming of age story that happens to include the beloved sport of roller derby. Ellen Page (of Juno fame) plays a girl that does not fit into the "perfect teenager mold" her mother would like her to. Searching for an alternative activity she comes across roller derby. She doesn't just join the team, but becomes their star player(NO WAY!). The actual roller derby competition scenes reminded me very much of Dodge Ball, except they were not nearly as funny or entertaining. Both Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon play characters that I just wanted to grab off the screen and stomp on their heads. I was not a fan of roller derby before seeing this film...and nothing has changed.

"Kick it to The Foor" or should I say Whip It to the Floor
