If you watch Whip It online, you can count on a very entertaining story that is very well acted and directed. The screenplay for Whip It comes from Shauna Cross' young adult novel Derby Girl.

Director Drew Barrymore brings out the best in this inspiring and funny movie that stars Ellen Page. Page was selected to star in Whip It before she was cast in the 2007 hit movie Juno.

Don't miss your chance to watch Whip It online, or you'll miss Barrymore in a supporting role, and Kristin Wiig as Malice in Wonderland, who acts as a mentor to new girl Bliss. Bliss' parents are played by Marcia Gay Harden, who plays a pageant loving stage mom and Daniel Stern, a kinder, gentler parent who supports Bliss.

The movie was filmed in the summer of 2008, mostly on location in Michigan. Part of the movie was filmed in Texas, however. Watch Whip It online, and you'll probably be able to pick out which scenes were shot in Michigan and which were shot in Texas.

Bliss is a teen whose mother pressures her to be in pageants, which she intensely dislikes. Knowing her mother wouldn't approve, she joins a roller derby league.

Barrymore and Barry Mendel co-produced the movie, a joint production of Mandate Pictures and Barrymore's Flower Films. Barrymore gave herself a small supporting role in the film because of her lack of skating skill.

It's worth it to watch Whip It online to see how Barrymore does on skates as a roller derby girl. As mentioned earlier, Whip It is Barrymore's debut as a director.

Barrymore is an experienced producer, however, having produced movies since the mid-1990s, including Charlie's Angels with Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz and Demi Moore and 50 First Dates, in which she starred opposite Adam Sandler. She looked for a director for Whip It, but couldn't find exactly what she wanted, so she decided she would direct the movie herself.
