★½ Whip It

[Gino: 1.5]

Gino says: 'This is the directorial debut of Drew Barrymore involving roller derby in Texas. I figured it has got to be light and relaxing, the director has been on a film set her entire life, and the main character is played by Ellen Page, so this would be worth seeing. But it is pretty flat. I found myself wishing I was watching a John Hughes version of the same movie.'
