Whip It


WHIP IT (2009) - Jan. 28, 2011
A basically entertaining film about a girl from a small Texas town who discovers her love for roller derby.  The film was well made and well acted, but it definitely drags in parts; it's 111 minutes and it probably shouldn't have been much longer than 90.  Drew Barrymore does fine in her first directorial effort, and all the performances were good (and it was a treat to see Daniel Stern again, even in a small part -- the man definitely needs to act more).  **1/2
