Title: I must have seen another movie!
Product review: I really wanted to like this, but I just never warmed up to it. Three big problems: script, casting & directing. The script falls so flat - how can a movie about women's roller derby be so lethargic? And yet, it is. Most of the action scenes are destroyed by the horrible casting of Jimmy Fallon who's play-by-play banter is just plain annoying and grating and ... bad. Page is good, but her brittle, smarty-pants schtick is showing it's limitations in a role that calls for more warmth. Wiig and MGH fare best. Then the directing: She tries, but the energy never gets to where it should be. Especially when the off-track scenes go nowhere you haven't been 30 million times before. Take a pass. Too bad, really.
