After viewing a sneak preview of Whip It last night as part of my Millennial Movie Mish-Mash, I wanted to expand yesterday’s quick review. For college ministers and others, this movie will both help us think about our Gen Y audience and provide some interesting discussion-starters, though in this case I’d guess it’s better for the former than the latter. So here’s my “millennial review” of Whip It from Fox Searchlight.
I grew to like Whip It more as the movie went along, and I also grew to like it more as I came to accept it as simply enjoyable. It’s not heavy fare – not as dramatic, for instance, as Juno, to which it will be compared not only because both star Ellen Page but also because of the Gen Y aim. And this movie seems almost purposely light on characterization and plot, but that creates an interesting experience where we encounter the characters and live the story right along with the protagonist.
