Critic Reviews

Boxoffice Magazine - Pete Hammond

This is a beautifully crafted and special movie to cherish, one likely to stay with you long after most of the so-called summer blockbusters have faded into memory. Read full review

Philadelphia Inquirer - Carrie Rickey

Callan McAuliffe, a handsome Australian youth, looks right as the perma-press Bryce. Read full review

Los Angeles Times - Betsy Sharkey

Flipped is the kind of small, special movie that wraps you up in so much warmth, humor and humanity that it will leave you wishing that stories like this weren't so rare. Read full review

The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt

Reiner again demonstrates compassion and insight into young people's battles to acquire self-knowledge, but in his new film, too many clearly fictional characters and contrived situations bog down his story. Read full review

Chicago Reader - Cliff Doerksen

Eventually the kids figure out that parents and other authority figures (among them Rebecca De Mornay, Anthony Edwards, Penelope Miller, and Aidan Quinn) don't always have it together. Was this trip necessary? Read full review

Entertainment Weekly - Adam Markovitz

Worse, he (Reiner) vacuum-seals it all in a patronizingly wholesome package, like an extended episode of "The Wonder Years" with all the wonder sucked out. Read full review

The A.V. Club - Nathan Rabin

This results in a film that spells everything out visually, then further elaborates through groaningly obvious dialogue, then drives every point home for slow-witted audiences via shameless narration. Read full review

Of course the critics would not like this film. This piece is so careful not to clutter realism with the idle meanderings of a writers mind that one is amazed by how simple and realistic the film becomes. It is perhaps one of the best coming of age or self realization pieces I've seen.Of course the critics would not like this film. This piece is so careful not to clutter realism with the idle meanderings of a writers mind that one is amazed by how simple and realistic the film becomes. It is perhaps one of the best coming of age or self realization pieces I've seen. There is an excellent ensemble cast. The piece is limited technically. This isn't a comic book adaption and it's certainly not a reworking of an overworked Tolstoi piece. It's just a simple slice of life portrayed without a lot of tricks or visual effects or mass murders.… Expand

Set between the 50s and 60s, Julie Baker (Caroll) and Bryce Loski (McAuliffe) face each other's issues to build a funny and moving relationship in a complex yet upbeat coming-of-age story from the director of “When Harry Met Sally” and “The Bucket List”, Rob Reiner.

This movie has a simple narrative that is told primarily by two perspectives, which is in this case, a great way to tell the story of the two main protagonists. It perfectly catches the attention of the two lead stars, as well as their point of views in solving the conflicts by their own. Also, the retro style of this movie is perfectly realized by its fashion and music. By this, Reiner gives this generation a tale of innocent approach of first love and family traditions during the 50s and 60s.

VERDICT: However does it look familiar to some coming-of-age stories from other movies, Flipped is still a genuine and heartfelt charm that never fails to captivate its audience.… Expand

Strange narrative: why do I have to see everything twice? And why must I see all the mental activity? But still a lovely movie for educating the youth.
