Featured reviews
Our 13yo daughter asked My wife and I to watch Flipped with her. She had seen it already once and told us it was her favorite movie. All I can say is we both absolutely enjoyed it! A movie like this is a classic. Completely blown away with all the actors and actresses! The message of this movie is incredible! Watch this with your kids!!
The first few minutes sent me back a decade reminding how much we avoided girls or getting our names attached to one..
I really liked how the story showed a basic fact (mostly at least) :
"The one you love doesn't love you back, and you don't love the one that loves you!"
Though the main story is not that all can relate to, the background or the base of the story was really nice. The character development was good, not like many movies which focus on only the main characters. Though the story was a little predictable, the movie is enjoyable and among a few to which we can relate to.
This movie is definitely worth a watch.
And it deserves an 8 out of 10.

Truly, this is one of those rare gems you stumble upon only once in a blue moon. Give it a try! You won't regret it!
Of all the movies I've seen lately, Flipped was amongst the most refreshing. If it had been done by a different director and had different screenwriters, it might be a terrible cliché. Story of first love, known each other since kids, bla bla bla, we've all heard it before.
But this movie, it was so pure and so realistic, which is what I love about it most. It wasn't over the top romantic, but it was enough to tug my heartstrings and made me go "awwww" instead of going "ewwww".
The characters felt like real people, and the issues faced in the story felt so real and believable, it made me believe in the basic form of love once more, and that it still existed in real life (even though I know it's just in the movies, but still).
Anyway, if you're looking for a story that is refreshing yet vintage, and wanting to have a lovey-dovey grin plastered on your face, then this is the movie to watch.

Beautifully told with all the ingredients for a good family movie. The story is told from two different views, the view from the boy and from the girl. A boy who is annoyed by all the attention he gets from the girl across the street. The girl from across the street who has a super crush on the boy tells her part of the story. The boy's father is a man filled with hatred who dispenses politically incorrect lines throughout the movie. The grandfather, the great John Mohoney, is the wise person who tells the boy to really see the girl for what she is, a very special girl. I don't want to give anything away of this jewel of a movie. I enjoyed this movie very much and totally recommend it.

- TriviaIn the novel, the story takes place in the early 2000s. The movie takes place in the early 1960s.
- GoofsIn the bidding war between the girls they get up to $50. This would have been a lot of money in 1963 and close to a weeks avg pay for most people. 14 year old girls having this amount of cash to spend on a high school event would have been highly unlikely.
