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.

You never forget your first love. Flipped is a 2010 American romantic comedy-drama film co-written and directed by Rob Reiner 🌳 Not bad, but not my favourite either 😉 It’s ok, but I feel mixed about this one 😉 I’d recommend it if you like this genre, but if not then probably give it a miss 👍🏼👎🏼 When Juli meets Bryce in the second grade, she knows it's true love. After spending six years trying to convince Bryce the same, she's ready to give up - until he starts to reconsider.

Actually what a movie !! The acting, the story plot, the vision is there, and comes out very well. This film is what teenage romance means, the innocent love!! Specially in today's time, where line deliveries and writing can be so cringe, this film maintains it so well. I think timeline being in 60's definitely helps!! Julia was too forgiving, I really wanted more of them, I love the subplots as well. Highly recommend it, idk why people are sleeping on this movie, it's really good.

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.
