When they meet in second grade, Juli Baker falls instantly in love with her neighbor, Bryce Loski. Bryce, however, does not feel the spark. From that day forward, he (Callan McAuliffe) tries hard to keep brash and unpredictable Juli (Madeline Carroll) at bay. After six years, she begins to feel that she was wrong about him being the love of her life. Unfortunately, that is just about the time that Bryce begins to think he was wrong about Juli, too.

Critics Consensus

While not without its nostalgic charms, Rob Reiner's sometimes awkward adaptation of Wendelin Van Draanen's childhood novel doesn't reach the heights of the director's earlier work like Stand By Me.

At times, the movie feels like a commercial for Wonder Bread, stretched to feature length.

Flipped is as phony as a poodle-skirted waitress at a mall diner, yet it's as sweet as a malt. A vanilla one.

Madeline Carroll grows the most throughout the film and undoubtedly makes the most of her screen time.

Rated: 1.0/4.0

Though told in a somewhat cutesy, sock-hop style, Flipped works well as a film about character that entertains the tween/teen set without preaching at them.

I’ve seen a lot of movies from 2010, but I’d even never heard of Flipped until my teenage son picked it to watch a family. How did I not know about this Rob Reiner film? He has created so many movies that I love. And this one is pretty good, too. It features a unique storytelling technique where sections of the plot are told from two different points of view. I was also really impressed by the child actors. Madeline Carroll and Callan McAuliffe really do a fantastic job of carrying the movie. While I don’t quite know how my son found out about Flipped, I’m glad that he did, because we all enjoyed it.

Some critics might overlook the charm of Flipped, but they miss the beauty in its simplicity. This movie captures the heart of young love in a way that feels both nostalgic and timeless. Most people probably wish they had experienced a love like this as kids, I know I do. The acting is heartfelt, and the writing perfectly balances humor, warmth, and honesty. Flipped is a fantastic movie that reminds us how meaningful the small moments in life can be.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
