Ever feel like you just don't fit in?

Bliss, Ellen Page's character in the new comedy Whip It (PG-13) feels lost and out of place. There's nothing blissful about being forced into beauty pageants by her mom, working after school or wandering through the general humdrum of her high school social scene.

She's ready for a change when she hears about a women's roller derby league. Follow the antics of this charming and goofy misfit as she tries to find her way onto a feisty roller derby team in this film adapted from the novel, Derby Girl, by Shauna Cross.

In addition to being Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, the film's jam packed with a whole cast of witty and scene-stealing actors, along with an amazing, fist-pumping soundtrack.

Whether it's on the rink, or in the world of Whip It, Barrymore will have you cheering, laughing and wishing you had a pair of skates.
