loved the animation. the story was a bit too convinenant. over all i liked it.
Whip It Whip It PG-13
saw "Whip it!" opening weekend. i totally enjoyed it and so did my 2yr old she loved the skating and now wants a set.

i loved this from its previews and knowing that this is Drew's debute it was a must see. it was gritty and well casted. it gave me an 80's vibe and not the new wave, cheesy "wedding singer" vibe but the gritty almost punk "200 cigerettes" vibe. the story, although a bit predictable, played out well. didnt give u that hollywood ending but had u walking away with a good story to tell. drew directed from the heart and gave her love/brain child room to grow. the chorography was excellent. i did get alittle fustrated with some of the camera angles but the girls did well. i laughed out loud in several scences especially when the coach drives up listening to wilson phillips.

i loved that it had a not so polished look and the music was very original. i truely loved the score and look forward to purchasing the soundtrack. it was very much a part of the cast. the cast was well selected... i hated juliette lewis' character from the start and she followed through in her bitchiness. kristen wiig gave her motherly vibe right away and was likeable. eve's character almost over looked still shown as a fellow teammate. drew typecasted herself. jimmy fallon was allowed to run with his comedic fashion. and ellen page was her JUNO self not much of a leap but believable, she did well with her awkwardness/chemestry with landon pigg.

this was a great movie ... i walked out at the end feeling it was an $8.25 well spent.
