Drew Barrymore directs and stars in Whip It, a refreshing coming-of-age movie with bags of attitude and something to say. Whip It, also starring Ellen Page and Juliette Lewis, will be released to buy on DVD and Blu-ray from the 16th August.

Indie-rock loving misfit Bliss Cavendar is locked in a battle of wills with her mother who is bringing her up to become a beauty queen. Desperate to find her real place in the world and knowing that parading in pageants is not for her, Bliss discovers a local female rollerderby league – girls who career around a track on rollerskates, with outfits, pads and an urge to reshape the world in their own image. Bliss soon swaps the heels for wheels. Battling with rivals on the roller-rink is Bliss’s way of dealing with her small-town misery and domineering mother and she finds a family within her skating peers as well as love with a local rocker. But Bliss’s real battle is for acceptance. Will she find it?

This heart-warming movie garnered rave reviews and is a ballsy but uplifting outing from first time director Drew Barrymore. Whip It stars a host of female talent. Full of thrilling, fast-paced roller-skating and brilliant, poignant performances, Whip It will whip you into a frenzy, say the promoters. Well, you know what we say? This is a solid, joyous, decent little movie. Unpretentious, inspiring and with substance behind the pretty outfits. We’re giving you the chane to win yourself a copy today!
