"Whip It" belongs to Marcia Gay Harden and Daniel Stern. They both give Oscar caliber performances. "Whip It" is a perfectly cast movie but none of the other actors can keep up with them. It's not even close. Harden and Stern are so real, so on point, it's great to watch. There's nothing better than a movie villain who's not really a villain at all. "Whip It" is currently in my Top Five sports movies. Great sports aren't really about sports.
