Trivia
The Manson Sisters were played by Rachel Piplica and Kristen Adolfi--better known as Iron Maven and Krissy Krash of the Los Angeles Derby Dolls. The pair skated for the Hurl Scouts in the film and, in real life, skate for the Tough Cookies, the team on which the Scouts were based.

Goofs
In the final bout scenes, a row of "dummies" watch the bout instead of actual people. The "dummies" are mixed in with the actual crowd but due to editing the row of "dummies" was not edited out.

It's good without trying to be

I really enjoyed this movie and it's one of those movies that you can only explain as that; an enjoyable movie. It's blissful in a way of how it doesn't have a lot of astonishing aspects of it visually but when you start watching you can't stop. Me and my family watched this in a hotel for the first time as we scrolled through the channels and when we stopped on this one we kind of all just left it there without saying much. Everyone was easily engaged and thankfully we started it from the relative beginning. It just has a natural feel to that draws me in, my family, and hopefully others as well. It isn't trying to be anything; it's not arthouse neither is it a cliche comedy, it's just a good movie and a very enjoyable one to watch with really funny jokes and dialogue and characters who give off the correct tones that the director was going for.
