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.

1.5/4

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.

3/4

Reiner, who made the similarly themed The Sure Thing about opposites who repel and attract, is a most sympathetic director of actors.

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

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.

Such a beautiful, wholesome movie, perfect for family movie nights! You will laugh, and you will cry. Great storyline.

Wonder years vibe, a bit predictable in spots but very entertaining.

She was in love with this boy for twelve years. And what did he do for over a decade? Ignored her. Dismissed her. Treated her like background furniture. But the second she moves on and finds peace? Suddenly he discovers feelings. And how does he prove his undying love? By planting a tree. A TREE. Apparently we’re meant to believe that twelve years of emotional neglect can be erased with landscaping. The bar so low you can't even trip over it.

The importance of understanding that people will different perspectives is super cool and I think even today in 2026 we don’t take into consideration the different perspective that somebody will have on any type of situation.

It is truly one of the best movies I’ve watched. It is emotional, gentle, and beautifully told. The story follows two children who develop feelings for each other at different times, and eventually find their way back to one another in a very natural and meaningful way. I especially loved how the movie shows two different families. Juli’s family represents healthy, supportive parenting — you can clearly see how love and strong values help raise a wise and kind child with a big heart. Bryce’s family is also caring, especially with his grandfather as a positive and warm influence. The film gently shows how a parent’s inner struggles can affect family dynamics, but without making it dramatic or negative. The movie feels nostalgic and pure. It captures teenage emotions so honestly — pride, vulnerability, misunderstanding, and growth. The scenes, cinematography, costumes, and styling are beautiful and really bring the time period to life. It honestly made me cry and smile at the same time.
