Small on outside, and big on the inside. [Full review in Spanish]

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

| Original Score: 1.0/4.0 | Sep 7, 2020

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.

I expected more from Rob Reiner.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 6, 2014

A surprising-engaging and beautifully-told story about young romance.

| Original Score: 5.0/5 | Jan 5, 2013

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?

| Original Score: C- | Nov 18, 2011

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

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 24, 2011

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.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 11, 2011

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.

| Original Score: D | Nov 26, 2010

I suppose some people may respond to this nostalgic ode to innocence and chastity, but I found it insufferable.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 21, 2010

...if you want a wholesome, ultimately feel-good film about young love, this might be it. Or not.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 21, 2010

Not perfect, but its aspirations are admirable, and its execution is surprisingly effective considering (or maybe because of) its unadulterated sentimentality.

| Original Score: B+ | Oct 25, 2010

The movie feels static, like a diorama of 60s life rather than a living, breathing story.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 8, 2010

Rob Reiner seems to be aiming for a boomer audience, but it's a relentless exercise in nostalgia -- clothes, hair styles, cars, and doo-wop soundtrack -- that feels manipulative.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 24, 2010

You'll flip for this gentle, clever movie. You are hereby forgiven for "North," Mr. Reiner.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 23, 2010

Perfectly innocent, unexpectedly charming.

| Sep 20, 2010

...takes what could have been a charming coming-of-age story and buries it beneath layers of cinematic overkill that push you away from the film when they should be drawing you in.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Sep 17, 2010

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

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 13, 2010

The latest from director Rob Reiner is a well-meaning mess that wants to tap into universal experiences of childhood and first love but bogs down in squirm-inducing banalities.
