Whip It

What Jack Says...

Whip It is the story of a girl (Ellen Page) that is sort of awkward and she finds her niche in roller derby. It also stars Marcia Gay Harden, Kristen Wiig, and Juliette Lewis.

Let's just start with what the hell happened to Marcia Gay Harden? She fell off the map hard. She didn't just fall, she jumped off the map. She was everywhere for a few minutes and then "splat" nothing. She is such a fantastic actress and she is still completely beautiful. Maybe she will read this and let me know what happened to her career.

Next, Drew Barrymore is a GD genius. She really is. She has one of the most successful production companies in the world and she just makes smart business decisions. Good for her. No seriously. She had a rough patch there for a good decade and then she pulled herself out of Courtney Love's vagina long enough to become a successful business woman. I would like to send her a big gulp with a note attached that says "Thanks for not sucking."

Ok, now onto the movie. The movie was great. That is it. Good script, good actors, and just an all around good choice. You don't see too many of those anymore.

Overall I give this on an 8.
