| Critics' Reviews: | "Laced with good-natured hipster kitsch and endearingly goofy girl power, director Drew Barrymore's roller-derby dramedy, Whip It, is a gas." -- Rob Nelson, Daily Variety
"Some old material given a delightful new grrrl-power twist... Whip It clicks on so many levels -- heartwarming family story, rough-and-tumble display of grrrl power and a secondary but tender and convincing romance..." -- Peter Brunette, The Hollywood Reporter
