Title: Dont buy it- the trailer has the best footage, go get that instead
Product review: Disappointed.I had high hopes for this film having watched and totally enjoyed Juno, I thought Ellen Page would be the new Thora Birch/Christina Ricci/Janeane Garfolo.Page certainly tries to do her best with this film, has a few good scenes and makes me laugh but unfortunately the script, direction and her co-stars let her down so badly not even her quick quips can save it.Im not adverse to a good sport film- dont get me wrong; roller derbys are certainly interesting and I enjoyed learning more about them (hey i even wanted to dig out my old skates after I watched this) but Im overwhelmingly disappointed with what good have been a great film that failed to deliver.Im giving it one star simply out of respect for Juno and the hundreds of hours I spent rollerskating into the side of the skating rink wall in High school.Ellen- Hope your next one gives you the missing elements that this one should have had :)
