Then I watched WHIP IT on Blu-ray. Drew Barrymore's direction is the best thing about the movie (and Ellen Page is certainly fine in the leading role). The script is really second-rate, however. An almost complete lack of character development (and there are interesting characters there who, if investigated more thoroughly, would have made for a really fine movie.)
But Drew does well with the roller derby scenes, an underwater love scene, a couple of good moments between Page and her father and Page and her friend on the squad. If only there had been a better script for her to direct.
