Drew Barrymore is breaking out with her first directorial effort on the film “Whip It” starring Ellen Page (“Juno”), Kristen Wiig, Barrymore herself, and plenty of others. Page plays Bliss who joins the roller derby team, much to her mother’s chagrin and the hijinks ensue. Check out the “Whip It” plot details and trailer below.

Bliss tries out as Babe Ruthless for a team named the Hurl Scouts, where she hopes to skate alongside the likes of Maggie Mayhem (Kristen Wiig) and Smashley Simpson (Drew Barrymore). The movie also features Marcia Gay Harden as Bliss’ disapproving mother, Jimmy Fallon who is a cheesy hungover announcer named Hot Tub Johnny, Zoe Bell (skate name: Bloody Holly), Eve, and Juliette Lewis (skate name: Iron Maven) play for the Hurl Scout’s rivals, the schoolgirl-themed Holy Rollers.

“Whip It” looks like it could turn out to be a pretty fun coming-of-age flick and Barrymore is certainly well equipped to deliver on this one. I’ll keep it on my list of movies to watch when its released on October 9, 2009.
