Ellen Page, who is turning into her generation's most important actress, plays Bliss, anything but, and tired and weary of pageant competition. One day, she answers an add for derby try-outs and, based on her preternatural speed, makes the team and is monikered as Babe Ruthless. Along the way, Babe makes new friends who all have awesome derby names like Smashley Simpson (Barrymore herself) and Rosa Sparks. And Maggie Mayhem, played by the terrific Kristen Wiig, gets some of the movie's best dialogue ("You think you're gonna sleep with your regional manager and he won't give you crabs...Have you ever had crabs?").
