When second-graders Bryce and Juli first meet, Juli knows it's love. Bryce isn't so sure. Beginning that day, and for the next six years, young Bryce (Callan McAuliffe) does everything he can to keep ... read more read more...his outspoken wannabe girlfriend at arm's length...which isn't easy since they go to the same school and live across the street from each other. Smart, dreamy, independent and willing to stand up for what she believes in, Juli (Madeline Carroll) is different from anyone else he knows and, frankly, it's a little overwhelming. What's a guy supposed to do when a girl tells him his hair smells like watermelon or wants him to sit in a tree for the spectacular view? There's just no telling what Juli will do next, and Bryce is one guy who'd rather be safe than sorry. Though disappointed by Bryce's unwillingness to see things her way, or even to see the things in life she finds most meaningful, Juli continues to give her potential dreamboat the benefit of the doubt. Until those doubts stack up so high that she finally thinks maybe she was wrong about him. It's just about the same time Bryce starts to think maybe he was wrong about her, too. But is he too late? The coming-of-age romantic comedy "Flipped," from director Rob Reiner, takes Bryce and Juli from Grade School to Junior High, through triumph and disaster, family drama and first love, as they make the discoveries that will define who they are--and who they are to each other. -- (C) Warner Bros.

    Films about children growing up or have made a movie as survival guide like Diary of a Wimpy Kid dont get good marks from the public, but i actually truthfully like this film.

    Great film. An adolescent love story for adults to enjoy.

    This was such a well-done, sensitive, sweet, uplifting movie. Very clever, quiet narrative. Absolutely beautiful ending that really set my female emotions all a-twitter. Charming little flick.

    Oh Rob Reiner, what happened with you? You can do better than this average nostalgia crap. Bring back some of your edge!

    A cute little film about a boy in 2nd grade and a girl who has a crush on him. And for the next 6 years shows how these two life's just kept mixing together. Set in the 1959-1964 time frame. If you were in 2nd grade during this time, then this film is a must. 3 1/2 stars.

    The 3 best words I can come up with to describe this movie are "sweet", "charming" and "cute." It really is all three, and I'm not one who is usually up for a "sweet" movie, but this is surprisingly good. Rob Reiner directed one of my favorite movies ever, "Stand By Me", and he... read more's made another great movie about pre-teen relationships. Guys will probably be hit and miss on this, but if ya wanna score big with the lady and enjoy a movie too, then this will do good for ya.

    instead of a nostalgic look at young romance and middle school life, this felt like a forced attempt to create another timeless kids classic in the tradition of films like the sandlot. the narration was a bit dry, and much of the dialogue felt incomplete. i kept waiting for the... read more characters to say the things that most people would say in their given situations, and most of the expected dialogue was left out in order, it seems, to manufacture the circumstances desired to further the sub par plot. i laughed a few times and the film was not without a few redeeming qualities, but overall this film falls flat.

    Sweetly charming movie . It felt good to see Marty Crane (Mahoney) on screen after a while.

    "All I ever wanted was for Juli Baker to leave me alone."

    Two eighth graders start to have feelings for each other despite being total opposites. Based on the novel "Flipped" by Wendelin Van Draanen.

    REVIEW
    ... read more>
    Juli just had to take one look at Bryce's blue eyes, and she knew it was true love. Bryce just had to take one notice of Juli's manic desperation, and he knew it was going to be a friendship of torment. I just had to take one look at the film's artfully designed poster, and I knew "Flipped" was a film to be savoured. A beautifully told film of first love, we flip from Juli's point of view to Bryce's point of view, very effectively giving us the true nature of their friendship, love and respect they have for each other. Except in the case of middle-school graders, that love and respect can frequently look like embarrassment, mistrust, and shame. All of those emotions are told with intelligence, subtlety and humour. "Flipped" has all of the comedy, naiveté and bewilderment of first love. It takes the romantic comedy farther by actually giving us characters with real depth. There is more going on than just Juli and Bryce figuring out their love for each other, and every aspect of this film is well written, touching and relevant. "Flipped" is a cute film for everybody who fondly remembers that fiercely independent girl or the guy with piercing blue eyes that lived across the street.

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

Flipped is Rob Reiner's best film in 18 years. Full Review

Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer

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

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

It's a bit too Wonder Years at times, but the odd two-narrators gimmick plays right into the film's "flip" in structure. Full Review

That Flipped isn't insufferably cute is a measure of its integrity. But it still strains to view the world through the eyes of children without a filter of grown-up cynicism. Full Review

We have here a movie that's pitch-perfect one minute and awkwardly schmaltzy the next. Full Review

There's barely half a film here, stretched and pulled so thin you can nearly see through it. Full Review

A pleasantly nostalgic and well-intentioned family movie featuring strong performances by its young actors. Full Review

A minor pleasure that will strike a lot of moviegoers -- those who think no one makes movies for them anymore -- as a major treat. Full Review
