I cannot believe that Ellen Page picked this over Drag Me to Hell. This looks terrible. In terms of mass-marketed "indie" (tween) movies, this trailer looks even worse than Nick and Nora.
@Uncle_Billy_Slumming: Well that's bullshit. Considering Derby girls don't get paid, they're most likely to BE office workers or porn types in the day and do Derby at night. Just like your regular bowling league/softball team/etc.
@Natasha VC: I cannot speak for The Girls, lacking the proper indoor plumbing, but I can say my two girls and I love the show and think she's hilarious. She is the anti-diva, singing love songs to a platypus -- convincingly.
@Flashman: And just imagine all the idiotic interview questions we'll be subjected to: "Was it weird to be giving direction rather than taking it?" "What was it like to direct yourself?" "Do you see a lot of yourself in Ellen Page?" "Do you prefer directing over acting?"
@NigelAstydameia: Ha. "Given your struggles as a child actor, how do you feel about directing younger stars?" "Was Spielberg the best director you've worked with, and why?" "The first time you said 'cut' did you just burst out laughing?" This could be a new party game.
Oops--I actually thought it looked really cute and even a wee bit heartwarming. Granted, I tear up at Legally Blond, but that trailer just took me up from "zero interest" to "sure, I'll see this with one of my chick friends who also likes this mushy crap." Also, Weezer=win as far as I'm concerned.

Why do people end up in roller derby?: Not disciplined enough for office jobs, not good looking enough for porn.

Also, am crossing off 'roller derby' from my list of unmade sports adaptations. Anyone found an indoor lacrosse or jai alai movie yet?
