Review of Whip It (2009) by Gaspar O — 02 Jan 2012
I'm not a huge fan of tomboys with penis envy, but I do enjoy occasionally watching them beat the shit out of each other. Juliette Lewis plays the same skank in almost every movie she's in, and she does it to perfection again in this one, while Marcia Gay Harden also plays the same character over and over and does it again in this one.
...yawn. Drew's character was hilarious, but far too intermittent. The roller derby action was crap, nowhere near as fun as the farce I used to watch on ESPN17 a couple decades ago, but it had some charm and enough humorous moments to earn a slightly above average rating.
I much prefer Drew in front of the camera.
