In 1957, when second-graders Bryce Loski and Julianna "Juli" Baker first meet, Juli knows it's love, but Bryce isn't so sure and tries to avoid Juli. By the sixth grade, in 1961, Bryce tries to get rid of Juli by dating Sherry Stalls, whom Juli despises. However, Bryce's best friend, Garrett, takes an interest in Sherry and eventually tells her the truth about Bryce asking her out; she doesn't take it well. From Juli's perspective, Bryce returned her feelings, but was shy. After finding out Bryce and Sherry broke up, she thought she could have Bryce back. But then they reconsider their decisions as time goes on. In 1962, Bryce's grandfather Chet Duncan moves in with the family. Chet has different views about Juli. There's a large, old sycamore tree that Juli loves which no one else understands. One day, it's cut down by a group of landscapers so a house can be built there, despite Juli's opposition. She becomes very depressed afterwards, as the tree let her see the world in a more enlightened way. Her father gives her a painting of the tree.

| ScreenRantVic HoltremanFlipped is a sweet, engaging family film with enough heart for two movies. |
| Can MagazineFred TopelCould be one of the great films. I mean one of THE great films. I wish I could have seen it when I was a kid, before I learned everything the hard way. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookYou'll flip for this gentle, clever movie. You are hereby forgiven for "North," Mr. Reiner. |
| Big HollywoodJohn HanlonA surprising-engaging and beautifully-told story about young romance. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfIf 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. |
| Boxoffice MagazinePete HammondThis 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. |
| L.A. WeeklyErnest HardyReiner, in very broad strokes, works in issues of poverty, thwarted dreams and family obligation, and almost pulls it off, thanks to Anthony Edwards, Aidan Quinn, Rebecca De Mornay, Penelope Ann Miller and John Mahoney, who impart humor and humanity to thinly sketched characters. |
| E! OnlineMatt StevensFlipped is sweet but unsubstantial, kinda like puppy love itself. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliFlipped is Rob Reiner's best film in 18 years, and includes echoes of two of his most accomplished efforts, "The Sure Thing" and "Stand By Me." |
| Orlando SentinelRoger MooreA flipped take on tween-to-teen romance that make it such a minor gem. |
