TIFF Review: Whip It!



In the mood for a chick empowering, feel good, kick ass movie? Whip It! is just that. Drew Barrymore in her directorial debut has put together a fantastic movie with an amazing cast to boot. Starring Ellen Page, Barrymore, Kristin Wiig, Marcia Gay Harden, Juliette Lewis and Ali Shawkat, best known for her role as Maeby on Arrested Development, Whip It! was one of the best films to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival.

The movie centers around Page as a young girl trying to find something in her life that makes it worth living, oddly enough, that turns out to be a roller derby league. The scenes are jam packed with action, this is not your normal chick flick. It is so good, even your boyfriends will enjoy the hot girls kicking each others asses on the skating rink.

Under normal circumstances I would have thought that Ellen Page has a really annoying way about her, but she actually did a great job in this movie; all around Whip It rocked.
