FILM SUMMARY:
Elliot Page scores huge laughs as Bliss Cavendar, a small-town teenager with a big dream: to find her own path in the world. Tired of following in her family’s footsteps of compliance and conformity, Bliss discovers a way to put her life on the fast track...literally. She lands a spot on a rough-and-tumble roller derby team and becomes “Babe Ruthless” — the hottest thing on eight wheels! Co-starring Drew Barrymore (in her feature film directorial debut), Marcia Gay Harden, Juliette Lewis, Daniel Stern and Jimmy Fallon, Whip It is a triumphant, free-spirited comedy loaded with high-speed action and nonstop fun!
"An '80s film for a new millennium, "Whip It" is rough, fun, and hip-checkingly girly." - Monika Bartyzel, Colliderl
"It's a funny, feel good, feminist film that throws elbows, pulls no punches and features a fantastic food fight." - Alex Behan, The Post NZ
