Really liked this film that took a basic story about a girl feeling pressure from her mom to be a certain way (compete in beauty pagents) and of course the girl (Ellen Page) finds a totally different outlet for her personality (roller derby). This had the potential to be boring and cliche and did a great job of not sliding into easy plot traps. Witty script, great dialogue, and funny characters -- Really liked Ellen Page, Alia Shawkat (Maeby from Arrested Development), Kristen Wiig and Daniel Stern. The only problem with the movie is that I can't get this song out of my head now and it wasn't even in the film once!
