Roller Girl

On the one hand, I have to praise how the scenes on the rink are handled, some of which are really good - I'm especially glad Zoë Bell is in the film, because she should be getting as many roles as possible - but on the other hand I find the film to be a classic about growing up, uprooting and trying to make things right again. The romance is also essentially unnecessary. (09.10.2017)

Ellen Page's charisma and cuteness know no bounds. Her "Marco" was not to be missed as well as countless other gestures and faces:))) Whip It is really a perfect diversion in which Drew Barrymore probably (probably definitely) acts better than she directs, but in this case I don't really care too much. It's first and foremost a sweet, funny, and well-acted film (I still love Juliette Lewis to this day and she looks pretty much the same.), Drew Barrymore is perfectly cast in her role, and Ellen Page is one of the most charismatic young actresses I know:)) If I take away a few clichés and a the slightly excessive running time, I come out with some 85%, which is very decent above average for a film of this type.

Great relaxing entertainment that literally whizzes by on fast skates. Whip It is a film full of likable actors (Ellen Page, Kristen Wiig, the family...), it has a cozy atmosphere and soundtrack, and it is also very well directed. Hats off to Drew Barrymore - she handled the track scenes especially well. I give it four and a bit stars.__P.S. Were you also wondering where you saw "that guy playing Bliss's dad"? I didn't recognize him until the end - but I did, which is the main thing! (17.07.2010)

New collective, new passion, parents' disapproval - I have seen all of this many times before in worse or better variations. But Drew Barrymore proves to be a very skillful creator, who knows when to reach for a perfectly fitting rhythmic song and when to let the pleasant small-town atmosphere take effect. And above all, she knows how to come up with scenes that subtly play on a nostalgic note, whether it's throwing keys into the cornfield, dad watching television in the van, or the girls fighting and throwing food at each other. The biggest highlight is the romance in the pool, I haven't seen such an impressive love scene in a long time. (17.07.2010)

Competitive kick-ass girls, who certainly didn't have much impact on the level of textile consumption, had already won me over years ago and were still fun to watch today. I suffered through the somewhat cliché rebellion against the parents and the reconciliation that followed without major damage to my mental health. As far as I’m concerned, Drew Barrymore really pulled it off. (24.10.2020)
