There was no more heartbreaking box office failure this year than the flopping of Drew Barrymore's
Whip It. I'm not going to reiterate the
hows and
whys of its collapse, but I will again state that it's a wonderful piece of mainstream entertainment, with rock-solid acting, low-key writing, and a wonderful sense of time and place. It's
one of the year's best films and it's on
DVD and
Blu Ray today (alas the discs contain only deleted scenes). You probably missed it theaters, so don't make the same mistake twice.
