This is a film that focuses on young consumer groups, roller skating, girls, and unobtrusive hints of youth.

The light comedy about youth is always the same routine, don't expect too much. Sometimes I think, maybe the screenwriter is bound to collect all sports, music performance types. Of course, this is not the point, but if the screenwriter and director regard the background itself as one of the highlights, I suspect that he actually wants to promote this kind of sports or art.

Therefore, I very much suspect that "whip it" is promoting the beauty and passion of "roller skating" under the banner of youth movies. Creating topics and popularity is always the driving force behind the success of commercial films.

Drew Barrymore, who looked like a silly elder sister, became a director, and, as always, was still a silly elder sister. With her iconic big mouth, it seems that the color of the picture is brighter. In addition, when it comes to the shaping of the role, she seems to be confined to a certain frame.

To say that I will buy it obediently, only Ellen Page joins. The brilliance of "hardy candy" brings emotional anticipation. But good scripts can be met but not sought. Sure enough, because the script was so simple that I had nothing to say, Ellen Page, even though his eyes and lips were shaken and sensational, could not support the performance. (The script is flawed.........) The only thing that catches the eye, shines, and impresses is the intimate scene of her and Oliver chasing in the swimming pool. This arrangement of the protagonist’s first time is indeed very romantic. The picture is very beautiful, but the process of shooting them is very difficult. There are too many uncontrollable factors in the water. To maintain a certain action in the water, how to take a group of shots in one breath for so long. Movies are movies after all. If you really go to chase like them in the water in reality, you should train your lung capacity and muscle endurance well.

Most youth-themed movies tell us how unpleasant it is for parents to impose their unfinished dreams or plans on their children. This is a warning to those who consciously or unconsciously point fingers at their children's future in reality. Sometimes, doing something for your good face is more disgusting than inaction. No matter how much you want to do for him or her, please communicate first, tell him what you think, and ask him what he thinks. Otherwise, live your own life!

In fact, this kind of film should be best viewed by parents and should be regarded as an educational film.

    Bliss Cavendar: That's the Squealer. You have to eat it in three minutes or less.

    Colby: [ponders briefly] Yeah. You bring me a Squealer. And I don't mean Corbi.
