Great film very entertaining

Rating: 9/10 (15 February 2010)

Whip It is just a plain fun movie to watch. It tells the story of Bliss who's mother wants her to be in beauty pageants just like she was when she was younger. The mother does not have much going for her and she lives her dreams through her daughter. Bliss does not enjoy the beauty pageants and soon discovers a roller derby woman's league and falls in love with the idea of it. The team she ends up on sucks and she ends up being their best player and brings hope to the team. ONly problem is she is too young which predictably becomes a problem just as the championships happen. The film tries to bring the message that you can be who you want to be and you should do things that make you happy. The message gets through with very comedic results.
