Truly Dreadful Film

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

If you have been in love---and I mean that special love that only happens once---then you will love this movie about first love. I couldn't turn it off and knew it was something different from the start. Two so destined for love yet one is the only willing one at first. You long for the boy to realize that is one very special girl that he will never forget yet he just doesn't get it until the last. Well, isn't that the way life is so often. Yet in the end all works out. Not a Rob Reiner fan but he he masterfully told a story that I shall not forget.

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.

Bryce is the new kid in town and the girl, Juli, across the street has a severe crush on him. She pursues him tirelessly and he continually rebuffs her. This is a great piece of scripting, directing and editing, as you see significant events between the two twice. Once through the eyes of each with often different recollections. The younger Juli is played charmingly by Morgan Lily. The older one, around 13-14 played by Madeline Carroll steals the show. Carroll has true acting chops and one would hope that there will be opportunities for her in Hollywood. Callan McAuliffe is an absurdly handsome young man as Bryce, Juli's obsession. He conveys Bryce's feelings well and he takes you back to that age convincingly. He is a confused adolescent, trying to fit in and please everybody. The rest of the cast is first-rate led by old pro John Mahoney of "Frazier" as Bryce's grandfather. Juli's parents are played nicely by Aidan Quinn and Penelope Ann Miller. Bryce's mom is Rebecca DeMornay and his unlikable dad is played well by Anthony Edwards. How nice to see a movie with characters I care about. A nice little yarn.

It is not the first time I watch this movie, even I know I should write this review immediately when I first watch it. I also never write any movie review before.I feel the same no matter how many times I have watched it, even I remember every detail and every scene like the end when they realize they haven't had any actual conversation and the background music Let it be me starts. The director did really good job when combining the two main character's perspective. It is same as love in real life, we never know what the other people think and it confuses us and misled us. We did embarrassing things, we screwed things up. It is also brilliant to see how Bryce grown up, mentally to understand what his grandfather said : "Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss...." He turned to me. "But every once in a while, you find someone who's iridescent, and when you do, nothing will ever compare." I was moved by this movie but it is not cliché. It is just because I find the beauty in the simplest thing, not in marvelous scenes, beautiful casts or significant story but in Flipped.
