i give it 4 stars because of ellen page...

Rating: 4/10 (22 August 2010)

whom is great, but otherwise, I didn't really care for the film. I mainly didn't like it because I care nothing about roller derby. I don't know anything about and don't care too. If it had been about something I liked more, like ice skating for example, I think I would have liked the movie a lot more.
Page plays, Bliss, a teen whom enters pageants because of her mom. One day she sneaks off to a roller derby match and tries out for a team. Of course, she turns out to be one of the faster skaters and becomes a star in the league. Only problem is she's not old enough to participate and she's lying to her parents. Then a dull love story is thrown in. And since I guess this was a feel good movie, everything works out for Bliss in the end.
FINAL VERDICT: I'm sure a lot of people will like this, but it wasn't for me. I hope to see Page in more films in the future.
