Whip It

This movie directed by Drew Barrymore comes across as a good indie movie. Ellen Page is a great talented young actress. The movie was funny at times as we watch the main character figure out what she wants to do in life.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I watched this movie. I was pleasantly surprised. Get some popcorn and enjoy it.
