Trailer for Drew Barrymore's 'Whip It!'

The first trailer for Drew Barrymore's directorial debut "Whip It!" has just debuted online, and you should check it out below if you're a fan of either roller skates or Ellen Page (or both, for that matter).
The film centers on Bliss Cavendar (played by Ellen Page), a Texas teenager who finds a way of dealing with her misery after she discovers a roller derby league in Austin.
Barrymore, Jimmy Fallon, Marcia Gay Harden, Juliette Lewis, Kristen Wiig and Zoe Bell co-star in the film, which is set for release Oct. 9, 2009.
Can't say the trailer blew me away, but I am curious to see how Barrymore handles the material. All in all though, I admit "Whip It!" doesn't look that terrible at this stage. If it's got a decent story, I'm more than willing to roll with it.
