Madeline Carroll grows the most throughout the film and undoubtedly makes the most of her screen time.

Though told in a somewhat cutesy, sock-hop style, Flipped works well as a film about character that entertains the tween/teen set without preaching at them.

Has my heart grown so cold and battle-scarred that I can't allow myself to be completely won over by Flipped, or is Flipped such a load of flavorless mush that there's not enough charm for me to embrace?

At times, the movie feels like a commercial for Wonder Bread, stretched to feature length.

The importance of understanding varying perspectives is always worth communicating, and Flipped, despite its cloying approach, manages to deliver this idea with a decent amount of sincerity intact.

If 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.

...if you want a wholesome, ultimately feel-good film about young love, this might be it. Or not.

Not perfect, but its aspirations are admirable, and its execution is surprisingly effective considering (or maybe because of) its unadulterated sentimentality.

The movie feels static, like a diorama of 60s life rather than a living, breathing story.

Rob Reiner seems to be aiming for a boomer audience, but it's a relentless exercise in nostalgia -- clothes, hair styles, cars, and doo-wop soundtrack -- that feels manipulative.

You'll flip for this gentle, clever movie. You are hereby forgiven for "North," Mr. Reiner.

...takes what could have been a charming coming-of-age story and buries it beneath layers of cinematic overkill that push you away from the film when they should be drawing you in.

Flipped is Rob Reiner's best film in 18 years.

Robert W. Butler Kansas City Star Sep 10, 2010 2/4

The latest from director Rob Reiner is a well-meaning mess that wants to tap into universal experiences of childhood and first love but bogs down in squirm-inducing banalities.
