I really enjoyed Whip It – not only was it a lot of fun, but it had some heart, too. Even though it's not doing great at the box office, I think this is one of those movies that will slowly develop a cult following, which in the end isn’t such a bad thing.
The presence of Ellen Page + the soundtrack + the silly premise got me interested in checking out Whip It, and it exceeded expectations. Juliette Lewis was amazing, and surprisingly, Kristen Wiig was also excellent, straying from her annoying nervous character that she always seems to do.
Still, the highlight of the film for me is the music, especially since Drew Barrymore used “Unattainable” by Little Joy – that was my favorite song of 2008, and it was great to hear it (along with a host of other great songs) get more exposure.
