Petite, apathetic Ellen Page finds a new calling — as "Babe Ruthless — in the rough-and-tumble of Austin roller derby, leading to a calendar conflict between the championship game and, her mother's dearest dream, the Bluebonnet Beauty Pageant. Drew Barrymore, who plays a minor supporting part, takes to the director's chair, a bully pulpit from which to spread the gospel of cuteness: a feeble feminist fable, all sugar, no spice, with nice photography by Robert Yeoman but unexciting, unconvincing sports action. Marcia Gay Harden, Daniel Stern, Alia Shawkat, Landon Pigg, Andrew Wilson, Kristen Wiig, Juliette Lewis, Jimmy Fallon. (2009) — Duncan Shepherd
