Drew Barrymore's equivalent of a Happy Madison or Expendables picture - an excuse for her and her mates to have fun without really worrying about things like story or playing characters. There is almost zero conflict throughout this entire movie, it's inexplicably 1hr50m long, the derby scenes have very little sense of impact or speed, and all the Hurl Scout scenes feel like the business, staging and dialogue was figured out 5 minutes before they rolled. A good chunk of the excessive runtime is devoted to a pointless, dull post-Juno, post-Garden State romance where Page and some indie band guy absorb retro culture and have incredibly impractical underwater make-out sessions together.
Rating: Bad.
