Drew Barrymore has never directed a film before, but she’s starting on a very high note by casting the wonderful Ellen Page as her heroine. Ellen plays a teenage girl who has been brought up as a pageant queen but longs for something more, and gets her chance when she joins a roller-skating team. Drew starred in Never Been Kissed, one of the best teen films around when I was the perfect age for them, and I hope that Whip It! will have the same effect on girls who are that age now.
