Title: Whip It Genre: Comedy, Drama, Sports/Recreation Starring: Ellen Page, Drew Barrymore, Kristen Wiig, Sarah Habel, Shannon Eagen Director: Drew Barrymore Studio: 20th Century Fox Runtime: 111 minutes Release Date: January 26, 2010 Format: BLU-RAY Discs: 2 MPAA Rating: Rating: ( )Grade: B- FUN FACT "Whip It" was written by Shauna Cross, a former Roller Derby skater with the Los Angeles Derby Dolls. Cross skated under the name Maggie Mayhem with a team of rouge cops called the Sirens. Many of the teams, skaters, names and plot lines were inspired by Cross' time with the Derby Dolls. Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, Whip It, is about 17 year old Bliss who is looking for an escape from her small town. After watching a local roller derby match, she tries out for the team and actually makes it. Surrounded by new friends and new experiences, Bliss aka Babe Ruthless is finding it difficult to adjust to her new lifestyle. QUALITY: BONUS FEATURES: Honestly, I was a little disappointed with the bonus features. The deleted scenes didn't do much and there really wasn't anything else of interest to begin with. It was nice to include a digital copy of the film on a second disc though. Overall, Whip It is a pretty standard Blu-ray release which isn't bad, it's just not amazing. |

Whip It
It's cute. But I wish it had a bit more energy. It could have been a lot better than cute.
