Synopsis

Watch: Whip It 2009 123movies, Full Movie Online – In a town near Austin, Bliss Cavendar’s strong-willed mom believes that 17-year-old Bliss can win pageants, which she considers the key to a happy life. Bliss isn’t the beauty pageant type: she’s shy and quiet and has just one friend:Pash, her fellow waitress at a diner. Things change for Bliss when she discovers a women’s roller-derby league in Austin, tries out, proves to be whip-fast, and makes the team. Now she needs to become someone tough on the rink, keep her parents from finding out where she goes twice a week, and do something about her first crush, on a musician she meets at the derby. Meanwhile, Mom still sees Bliss as Miss Bluebonnet. Things are on a collision course; will everyone get banged up?.
Plot: In Bodeen, Texas, Land Of The Dragon, an indie-rock loving misfit finds a way of dealing with her small-town misery after she discovers a roller derby league in nearby Austin.

Simple, fresh and enjoying girls teenager movie.

Perfect for not thinking much and enjoying, without having to suffer all the stereotypes.

Review By: Andres Gomez

Great watch, would watch again, and can recommend.

I’ve actually been to some of the Austin locations and seen that roller rink: it’s a pretty cool place with a powerful vibe to the room.

I’ve really had enough of pagentry, it just feels very boring, so maybe it was the perfect way to start this movie. It’s a very cliche “I don’t want your life” beginning, but grounding the establishing act in that foundation really takes us on a journey of growth in this “finding of self” (possibly a “coming of age”, but no really) story. When something grabs our interests, even on a weird flyer, or a pair of skates, we should pay attention, and the smaller the thing is that calls out to you, the more you should pay attention.

Roller derby is a bad ass little sport, and maybe “no one gets famous” or “successful” from it, but it looks fun and I’m sure the people that do it love it. While the roller derby aspect is great, and the romantic plot lines are good, and the best friend angle is really good (just realizing how multi-threaded this movie actually is), it is the self discovery, the character growth of Bliss (thanks to Ellen Page’s powerful delivery) of being a person that we can barely hear, to being someone how is able to yell for what she wants, delivery a hit, and be a literal poster child.

The movie honestly makes me envious: while I’d like to be an attractive tough girl, sure, to find a passion while you still have time to enough to enjoy it, to find people to guide and support that passion, and then compete and find adversity from people twice your age is an amazing thing all to itself.

I’ll never be a “roller derby girl”, but I know I can always come live vicariously through this movie.

Fantastic directoral debut
Drew Barrymore is well known for her quirky acting and distinct personality. But now movie goers across the country will begin seeing her in a new light- director.

“Whip It,” which stars Ellen Page (Juno), Marcia Harden, and several other notable actors/actresses is a fun filled, action packed, emotional film that forces you to give an old fashioned thumbs up as you leave.

Page is fantastic in her role, perfectly capturing the rebellious, curious character of Bliss Cavendar. Her innocent face leaves you rooting for her while at the same time wondering if her decisions are ultimately right. Harden again plays her role flawlessly, down to her own hidden dreams disguised under her thick shell.

Unlike most “rise to the top” movies, Whip It is believable. It seems real at all times. It feels as though all of us at one point in our lives were like Bliss, longing to live a different life.

If you want a great night at the movies, if you want a solid movie with enjoyable memories, and if you want to answer that question of “I wonder how Drew Barrymore would be as a director,” go see Whip It. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Terrific and entertaining!! A real gem! Way to go Drew!
The first time I saw a trailer for Whip It I thought it looked decent enough and it could be a fun film. There is nothing better than when a film exceeds all your expectations and really impresses you and that is exactly what this film did. Whip It is in the simplest form is just downright fun. Solid performances (even some by people I don’t care for), great characters, and just a fun feel good movie that doesn’t hold back. If anything can be said for Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut she knows how to put together a good story. I might even go so far as to say that the film is extremely under rated and doesn’t seem to appeal to people as much as I would have thought. I can promise you this that if you just sit back and relax and truly enjoy having fun you’ll come out of the movie with a smile on your face. My single disappointment with the film was that I expected some really intense emotion towards the end and it never really delivers on that front. I was fully prepared to actually swallow my masculinity and tear up but it was never necessary. So while it might fall short from some great emotion it is still a really amazing fun movie.

Desperately trying to move beyond the just Juno phase Ellen Page plays quirky and quiet Bliss Cavender. She does a terrific job and she definitely has amazing screen presence which she proved when she blazed on the screen in Juno (average movie, amazing role). She is simply watchable and you root for her and she plays the roller derby role like a pro. Two truly outstanding supporting roles to watch for are by the versatile amazing Marcia Gay Harden and Daniel Stern. Harden is terrific as the straight laced reserved mother and Stern is simply amazing (best role I’ve ever seen him in outside of Marv in Home Alone) as Bliss’ loving if not slightly distant father. Both of them have small roles but are truly excellent in their roles. Kristen Wiig is one of my least favorite Saturday Night Live cast members and I just usually can’t stomach her performances and yet here she is giving an incredibly serious and really solid performance as single mother and roller champ ‘Maggie Mayhem.’ Similarly Jimmy Fallon gives a decent, very tolerable performance as roller derby host Johnny Rocket. The rest of the girls are a solid and fun cast including director herself Drew Barrymore, Zoe Bell, Eve and another of my least favorite actresses Juliette Lewis who is also very good in her role. Also deserving honorable mention is a small supporting role by actress Alia Shawkat as Juno’s…errr I mean Ellen Paige’s best friend Pash. She is awesome and I hope to see her do some really great roles in the future.

Drew Barrymore put together a terrific ensemble to rally around a terrific character brought to my life by Ellen Paige. If anything could be said about Barrymore is that she brings the very best out of her cast. She managed to take several rather loud and potentially obnoxious comedians (Fallon, Wiig, Lewis) and gives them a much more serious and toned down persona that shows off their very best. Whip It is an adventure for a lot of people behind the scenes. Barrymore in her directorial debut and the writer of the novel as well as the screenplay Shauna Cross appears to be new to screen writing, and I think the performances in the film are a new style to a lot of the actors too. No matter how you shake it Whip It is just a blast. It’s fun and touching and anybody can sit down and enjoy it. See this movie and do yourself a favor. And shockingly enough they do not play the overplayed movie song “Whip It.” Weird eh? 8.5/10
