Drew Barrymore's directorial debut is a ruckus romp through roller derby in the great state of Texas. It stars Ellen Page as Bliss, a teenager full of her mother's pressures and lack of her own ambition. Everything changes when Bliss is introduced to the world of roller derby.
It's an understatement to say that there is star-power in this movie. There are lots of A-listers & almost A-listers who as an ensemble simply rock the film.
- Ali Shawkat (hello??? Maeby from "Arrested Development"???)
- Marcia Gay Harden (glorious in every role she is in - NAILS the role of Bliss' mom)
- Jimmy Fallon & Kristen Wigg (SNL staples)
- Juliette Lewis (are you kidding? perfect bad girl)
- Andrew Wilson (largely unknown but stellar Wilson Brother)
- Eve (yeah, the rapper...who's that girl...na na na na na na na na)
- Ari Graynor (this chick has something...everything I see her in, she's perfect at - well, except for the sister on "Fringe" - boo Ari, I think you should beg for another show...that one doesn't suit you)
- Daniel Stern (Marv from "Home Alone" - yeah, he's the perfect dad)
- Drew Barrymore (last but not least - she's a heavy hitter in this one - literally)
Anyway, go check it out. It's bound to make you cringe, smile, and wanna go out and skate...maybe knock over a couple people too - for fun. :)
See the trailer here...then go to the theater and as the coach says "go getcha some".
