Whip It!
A respectable, enjoyable, coming-of-age, Drew Barrymore debut film in which a discontented, small-town, 17-year-old waitress (Ellen Page), who is tired of beauty pageants and lives with her parents (Marcia Gay Harden and Daniel Stern) and younger sister (Eulala Scheel) in Texas, finds excitement and support from her best friend (Alia Shawkat) and a romantic interest from a hunky musician (Landon Pigg) when a coach (Andrew Wilson) invites her to join his roller derby team and to compete with seasoned skaters (Kristen Wiig, Juliette Lewis, Eve, Zoƫ Bell, Eli Bleiler, Ari Graynor, et al.).
