I’m not sure if it’s just because Ellen Page is in it, or if it’s because they’re using clever alternative music in the trailer, or if it’s because Ellen’s parents in the film seem like an exactly clone of the ones in her Diablo Cody movie, but Whip It seems an awful lot like Juno on rollerskates. Except of course, this time Juno’s not pregnant. At least I hope she isn’t. Rollerderby seems like a spectacularly bad place to be when you have a baby in your belly.

The first trailer for the nerdy girl turns bad ass Rollerderby star move, Whip It has arrived. It’s the directorial debut of Drew Barrymore and in addition to Ellen Page, Juliette Lewis, Kristen Wiig, Zoe Bell, Eve, and a large number of women with ugly tattoos seemed to be involved. Cool people keep telling me that going to Rollerderby is now the uber-trendy, culturally ironic thing to do. These people will love this movie and maybe so will you.
