Fantastic!
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
An unusual romantic story, finally there is a fresh good one different from Hollywood's 'sickness porn' - rebellious teenagers either love bad or love vampire, mystery. This puppy love definitely refreshed my eyes! Their warm heartening love was developed with logic, the flipped went with the flow, it has nothing like a crazy drama. Yet this romantic story still captured my eyes with its heartwarming moments.Besides the movie storyline, this movie really shows the difference between boys and girls inequality in mental maturity. I remembered I watched a video about an experiment, tester made some terrible taste juice and asked kids' options with a guilty face because of her terrible cooking skills; the experiment reflects the difference between boys and girls in young age 3-5 years old. Boys would honestly speak the truth of nasty taste, yet girls would show their compassion in young age, they would try to comfort the tester that her drink wasn't too terrible at all. That experiment was interesting, it just shows that girl naturally has better social skills development compared to the boy.Therefore Juli started her consciousness in age 7, and experienced some thoughtful thoughts about the "complete painting view" in her young age, and in the same age arrange, the boy, Bryce Losk just flipped. Luckily Bryce found the good of Juli, and hold her hands at the end.
The embodiment of the perfect feel good coming of age tale. The simplistic way of telling a story on both sides was executed so flawlessly I often felt as though I had, had these conversations and feelings before. I yelled at Bryce over those eggs, I cried with Juli in that tree, I had ice cream with Uncle Daniel. This movie really touched me and will forever have a place in my heart.
Madeline Carroll plays there. I know her from Jackie Chan's movie so I watched also this one. I was literally in love when I saw it for the first time! I had to re-watch it like 10 times I think? This story is so real and it makes me think on lots of things. Those actors were perfectly picked for this movie. I love how calmly they look, what attitude they had to for releasing this movie. I like Madeline's talent for acting. She can merge with every role she got! Maybe it's because of her true smile, or eyes? Whatever it is, it's very big gift from God. Great job! Really. It has my all respect! :) Writing this review makes me wanna watch it again. :D
This is a very simple, predictable, feel good movie. But there is something about it that made me love so much. The cast, the production, the story line, the ambient feel seem to work together so well. The girl looked weird and annoying in the first scenes but eventually she will grow on you as story going. I saw some comments about the choice for 50's-60's theme was unnecessary. I totally disagree. It is the major part of what made this movie so heartwarming. It would not have worked in present time line. No girls would feed her chicken in the backyard. The boy would not have been so nice to her even if he does not like her. In these days, if you annoyed a girl you just post something to embarrass her in social networks or just try to take advantage of her. So it is a solid reason to go back in much nicer time. I think the only thing it needed to be changed is the name. I missed this flick for years just because the name "Flipped" was not appealing enough to me.
