I found this movie to be fun romp, with moments of almost true to life heaartache. It did take a bit of time to catch it's momentum, but once it did it went at a "whip it" pace. For those who enjoy fluff coming of age stories, with a side of smaltz, you'll enjoy this film.
Girl power at it's finest - Drew Barrymore, Juliette Lewis and Ellen Page are all well-known for their ability to kick some serious bum when it comes to the preconceived notions of girl stereotypes. Whip It is not a deviation from their rebel with a cause line of work. I enjoyed the premise and think girl empowerment is nothing we can get enough of - the great performances and witty dialogue are just added bonuses.
