The directorial debut of Drew Barrymore stars Ellen Page ("Juno") as Bliss, a rebellious Texas teen who throws in her small town beauty pageant crown for the rowdy world of roller derby. Marcia Gay Harden ("Mystic River" and "Pollock") plays Bliss' disapproving mother, while Kristen Wiig ("Saturday Night Live") and Juliette Lewis ("Old School") play roller-derby stars.
"Whip It," also starring Eve, Jimmy Fallon and Daniel Stern, opens nationwide in theaters on Oct. 2.
