Good film and great for UK Roller Derby!

YorkshireTripper from , 31st January, 2010

Despite Roller Derby being the fastest growing female sport in the UK right now with new leagues starting up all the time, it's still pretty much an unknown sport this side of the Atlantic, so it was with much-anticiapation we waited to see this film. It's not a 100% accurate depiction of Derby as we know it, the film is based on banked track derby as opposed to the flat track version we play in the UK and there are a few 'illegal' moves (the clotheslining) in the film, I guess for entertainment purposes, but I'm sure plenty of derby players will relate to some element of the story. The cast is great and the story good enough to appeal to a non-derby audience. It's also a great job for Drew Barrymore in her first work as Director. Leagues in the US and Australia have seen a huge increase in new recruits as a direct result of seeing Whip it, UK leagues are hoping it will do the same here.

A cool debut director outing for Drew Barrymore. The cast is brilliant and this is a full on feel good film. Feisty and loads of fun. Loved it!
