The thing about Whip It is...
Is that it's a film just as much about older women as it is about teenage girls. Iron Maven's speech about it taking her until the age of 31 before she found something that she was good at, Maggie Mayhem's speech about being a mother blended with teenage dreams of escape and a search for identity. And, it's directed by Drew Barrymore. Go see this movie, it's one of the most positive films I've seen in a long time!

I went for my second showing yesterday. I cried more than the first time because I was anticipating the happy emotions! Then people cheered at the end and I cried some more!
