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. Sep 24, 2011 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Flipped is as phony as a poodle-skirted waitress at a mall diner, yet it's as sweet as a malt. A vanilla one. Sep 10, 2010 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Reiner, who made the similarly themed The Sure Thing about opposites who repel and attract, is a most sympathetic director of actors. Sep 9, 2010 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It's a bit too Wonder Years at times, but the odd two-narrators gimmick plays right into the film's "flip" in structure. Sep 8, 2010 | Rating: 3/4

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. Aug 27, 2010 | Rating: 2.5/5

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. Oct 3, 2018 | Full Review…

Has my heart grown so cold and battle-scarred that I can't allow myself to be completely won over by Flipped, or is Flipped such a load of flavorless mush that there's not enough charm for me to embrace? Feb 9, 2012 | Full Review…

The importance of understanding varying perspectives is always worth communicating, and Flipped, despite its cloying approach, manages to deliver this idea with a decent amount of sincerity intact. Jan 11, 2011 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…

If the feature doesn't latch on to the senses immediately with its sugared claws, it's a long, ugly 85 minutes of dreadful behavior to endure, waiting for an ending that never arrives. Nov 26, 2010 | Rating: D | Full Review…

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!
