    DVD Review & Giveaway: “Whip It” – 3 Winners (Ends 3/24)

    By 345 Comments

    Whip It

    Starring: Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page
    DVD Release Date: January 26, 2010
    Running Time: 111 minutes

    ABOUT THE MOVIE:

    Hang onto your helmet and get ready to break away from the pack! Ellen Page scores huge laughs as Bliss Cavendar, a small-town teenager with a big dream: to find her own path in the world. Tired of following in her family’s footsteps of compliance and conformity, Bliss discovers a way to put her life on the fast track…literally. She lands a spot on a rough-and-tumble roller derby team and becomes “Babe Ruthless” — the hottest thing on eight wheels! Co-starring Drew Barrymore (in her feature film directorial debut), Marcia Gay Harden, Juliette Lewis, Daniel Stern and Jimmy Fallon, Whip It is a triumphant, free-spirited comedy loaded with high-speed action and nonstop fun!

    MY REVIEW:

    First off, I love Ellen Page and Drew Barrymore so I knew this movie was going to be a hit for me. The movie is full of fun characters and great lessons. It features Ellen Page as a waitress in a small town who is basically bored and in need of something, she is just not sure what. Then she hears about a Roller Derby event in a nearby town and decides to check it out. After watching the Roller Derby skaters, she falls in love with the sport and with some motivation she tries out and makes it. Now of course she does lie about her age and to her parents about what she is actually doing when skating, but the movie emphasizes to live in the moment and try out new things. Ellen’s character also shows off how you have to practice and how great it is to be part of a team.

    I really like this movie and think it would be cute for any ages. It is not just a teen movie, although it does include teen romance, but it also has some great actors and actresses like Jimmy Fallon and Juliette Lewis. I couldn’t get my husband to watch this movie with me, because he thought it was all about girl power, but I do think he would have liked it because of the humor and action. The skating is so real and exciting. It is also the directorial debut of Drew Berry and she does great!

    BUY IT: You can buy “Whip It” at Amazon or wherever DVDs are sold.

      i loved drews boys on the side movie it was great and i liked ellen page in an american crime crime as sylvia..i just wanted to beat that abusive womans face in that was taking care of her when her parents went away with the circus..her parents should have been shot for just leaving them with a total stranger.a really good movie but very very sad and based on a true story 🙁

      I’ll always remember Drew Barrymore as the little girl in E.T. – The Extraterrestrial, which was my introduction to her.

      Drew Barrymore is one of my all time favorite actresses and I think “The Wedding Singer” was her best. It was a perfect character for her and at the perfect time.

      I love Boys on the Side with Drew Barrymore. I watched it for the first time when I was 12…it really hit me hard. I cried a lot during that one. I love pretty much every movie starring Drew or Ellen. Thanks for the chance. bekki1820cb at gmail

      Ever after with Drew Barrymore is one of my favorite movies. I love that the classic story of Cinderella still comes through. It is really timeless! And Barrymore does a great job of acting like a princess the whole time!

      I loved 50 First Dates with Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler. I think it was my first Adam Sandler movie where he wasn’t being silly/stupid. I think they did a great job.
