While made from overly familiar ingredients, Drew Barrymore's directorial debut has enough charm, energy, and good-natured humor to transcend its many cliches.

Drew Barrymore makes her directing debut with a join-the-dots sports outing that's so brightly played - and so essentially sweet-natured - that its manifest cliches come up smelling of fresh paint. April 9, 2010 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Although there's nothing original about it, and although it's handled competently rather than with breathtaking élan, it's almost impossible to dislike... April 8, 2010 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Deftly moderating her patented eye-rolling poseur shtick, Page delivers her most charismatic and least divisive performance to date as Bliss Cavendar, aka Babe Ruthless. April 8, 2010 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

If the film were any more brainless, it would be a lump of rock. But if it were any less brainless, it might be less fun. April 8, 2010 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Surprisingly touching moments of realisation and emotional connection manage to rise above the dramatic cliches that pepper the rest of the film and account for the best scenes in Whip It. Next to all the punch-ups on the track, that is. October 8, 2009 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Though Whip It celebrates risk-taking ladies, its plot turns gently from one formulaic moment to the next. The only surprise is just how much silliness Barrymore is willing to commit. October 25, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The story is not particularly original, but the milieu is, and so is the energy in this ode to girl power. December 5, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Though it's got first-timer mistakes (too long, too many food fights) its indie-rock girl-power charms are, like co-star Kristen Wiig, undeniable. November 17, 2018 | Full Review…

Neither as consistently funny nor as charming as it would like to think; yet Page's sincere performance brings some extra gravitas to an otherwise unremarkable script. November 5, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
