Now she needs to become someone tough on the rink, keep her parents from finding out where she goes twice a week, and do something about her first crush, on a musician she meets at the derby. Meanwhile, Mom still sees Bliss as Miss Bluebonnet. Things are on a collision course; will everyone get banged up?

Movie Reviews

ViewLondon - 10/10 by Matthew TurnerEasily one of the best films of the year, thanks to a superbly written, cliche-dodging script, a fabulous soundtrack and wonderful performances from a terrific ensemble cast.
Seanax.com - 10/10 by Sean Axmaker[Drew] Barrymore... embraces the self-expression of this riot grrrl-style roller derby tale and fills the film with team spirit and high energy.
TIME Magazine - 10/10 by Mary F. PolsEven if a tale of female empowerment through roller derby is not your particular cup of tea, Barrymore delivers it with such a giddy good sense of fun that it's easy enough to go along with.
The Film Yap - 10/10 by Nick RogersA moving meditation on the importance of seizing the now early, whatever that might be. Twee and tough, the film elbows aside sports-movie clichés with thoughtful intelligence, emphasis on self-reliance and all-too-rare portrayals of strong women.
eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Rob GonsalvesWhip It, the directorial debut of Drew Barrymore, is friendly and fun-loving and nurturing, as she seems to be.
Entertainment Spectrum - 10/10 by Jolene MendezIt takes girl power to the extreme and made me wish I was a roller derby girl. Jam packed full of excitement, action, humor and intensity.
Total Film - 10/10 by Rosie FletcherPart underdog sports flick, part coming-of-ager, Whip It! trades on familiar formulaics, yet Shauna Cross' smart script (based on her novel) keeps things fresh and funny.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 9/10 by John BeifussHip but not smart-aleck, the film is not afraid to wear its heart on its sleeve as an invisible accessory to the pads, helmet and embarrassing Barbie skates that propel its underage heroine to a new identity...
The Movie Kit - 9/10 by Kit BowenDrew Barrymore finds the perfect project for her directorial debut, infusing the roller derby fun-fest with her spunk and joie de vivre.
Playback:stl - 9/10 by Sarah BoslaughAs in most sports movies, the matches are really a means to an end, in this case the maturation of Bliss from a compliant but unhappy daughter to a young woman who knows her own mind.
