The Tubes of You have delivered this sassy trailer for Whip It! Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut in a film about women’s roller derby in the 70s.
This is looking pretty great and should provide a fair bit of fun. I think the trailer gives away a little too much about the parents role in her path of discovery. I have seen multiple sites this morning calling this Juno on Wheels, but I disagree. In Juno, Page was similar in attitude but that’s about it. Juno was the same girl before, during and after the pregnancy and that movie was simply about dealing with her situation. But this one shows a clear progression of a teen forced into beauty pagents by her mother before blazing her own path. It appears to be more of a sense of discovery and a growth for her character.
I am looking forward to this.
