Whip It
Drew Barrymore's feature directing debut (she also produced and co-stars) is this hilarious comedy starring Ellen Page ("Juno") as Bliss Cavendar, a small-town Texas teen who is tired of always doing what is expected of her. After her mother tries to get her to join a beauty pageant, she gets involved with a local rough-and-tumble roller derby team. Adopting the name "Babe Ruthless," she quickly becomes the hottest thing on eight wheels! With Marcia Gay Harden, Kirsten Wiig, Juliette Lewis, Jimmy Fallon and Daniel Stern.
