Christianity Today gives PG-13 Whip It 3/4 stars... "based on the novel Derby Girl by Shauna Cross, isn't a particularly inventive movie. You've seen this kind of teenage empowerment drama before. But Barrymore hits her marks with energy and confidence, making it easy for viewers to shrug off sequences that verge on cliché. More importantly, she has Marcia Gay Harden as Bliss's mom, Brooke. Page is likeable as Bliss, a good girl who loves her mom and wants to please her but is also trying to figure out how to make her own way in the world. But the movie is all-but-stolen by the remarkable Harden as a working woman who has learned the hard way how to make her own way in the world—and hopes to help her daughter avoid some of her own disappointments."
