Viewing Notes
I rented this with my wife in mind and fully expected it to be mediocre based on what I remember hearing about it.
Instead, I thought it was a nice, enjoyable light comedy. It knows better than to take itself too seriously, which makes it easier to overlook some of the inconsistencies. On the whole though, it was a lot of fun.
I’ve been meaning to go to a Chicago Roller Derby match for a few years now and watching Whip It has re-inspired me to attempt to attend again.
