Whip It (USA, 2009)

Whip It (USA, 2009). Director: Drew Barrymore. Starring: Ellen Page, Alia Shawkat, Juliette Lewis, Marcia Gay Hayden...

I only watched this because I have a bit of a thing for Juliette Lewis lately. It’s actually not too bad... Ellen Page comes of age sortof... her mom wants her to win beauty pageants, but she would rather kick butt in the roller derby! It was Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut, and she also acts. Stuntwoman Zoë Bell’s in it too.

In a scene where Ellen Page’s new love interest tries to impress her with his pinball skills (he claims a high score in the millions, but it’s only a 5-digit score reel), we see a Bronco (Gottlieb, 1977). I think she ended up doing better than he did...
