Teenage goal setting

Rating: 7/10 (3 October 2009)

This movie seems targeted for 12-16 aged girls. It has a message for young girls to focus, pick yourself up, and to try to do well. So, in this way, this clean message way, it is similar to a Disney movie.
I am a 60 year old male, and I liked it. It seemed much more gentle a story than I was expecting. There is no objectionable violence other than a few game sanctioned bumps and spills. So, I feel it gives a good message to young girls. And I think it will promote Roller Derby in the U.S. It shows how girls can channel their energy and drive to support the team. It has many "team problems" and "team support" issues to help young people understand team membership.
I felt that Drew Berrymore did an acceptable job of directing the film. I would see it again.
