Whip It!- Drew Barrymore makes her directorial debut with
Whip It!, the story of an ex-beauty pageant contestant named Bliss
(played by Juno's Ellen Page) who leaves her crowns behind after
joining a roller-derby team. While her mother would prefer that
Bliss unlace her skates and step back before the judges, the
rebellious teen instead seeks the wisdom of rowdy mentor Malice in
Wonderland (Kristen Wiig) in learning the tricks of the circuit
track. The Mandate Pictures production was written by roller derby
star-turned-screenwriter Shauna Cross. - Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie
