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 tries hard to keep brash and unpredictable Juli 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.

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.

Great movie. Good acting. Solid story. So much better than most of the movies rated higher here. I highly recommend it.

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.
