Whip It
Drew Barrymore’s first movie as a director has won harts all over. The movie portrays the story of a teenage girl named Bliss. Allen Page fits perfectly for the character of Bliss. Bliss is bored of her life as all she does every day is going to school during the day, working at a local diner in the evening and thanks to her mom, participates in beauty pageants at night.
Bliss wants to live a life of her own and when one she witnesses roller derby game in her town, she’s inspired enough to try out for a place in the team. But she is not 21 yet so legally she cannot play but she lies about her age makes it to the team as she is faster on rollers.
She hides this from her parents and this created a kind of comedy drama which keeps you interested throughout the movie. Congratulations to Drew Barrymore on her first directorial success.
