    An unreasonably entertaining movie, causing you perhaps to revise your notions about women's Roller Derby, assuming you have any.

    Sweet without being sticky and funny without getting silly, Whip It introduces Barrymore as a director with a keen eye, a good ear for tone and an inspired touch with actors.
