Whip It, Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, stars Juno's Ellen Page as a small town beauty pageant queen who gets mixed up in the "rowdy world" of roller derby. Time Out's Joshua Rothkopf writes, "A ray of sunshine onscreen, Drew Barrymore isn’t going to suddenly make a grungy roller-derby movie. (Even the naughtier ex-Drew who once flashed David Letterman couldn’t swing that.) So she’s done something harder: made an intensely sweet roller-derby movie about letting your kids grow up happy."
