Flipped guides us back to the 60s as we follow two teens who both fall head over heels for each other but are out of sync in doing so We explore a boy and a girl Juli and Bryce and their wobbly roller coaster esque feelings for each other in the midst of family issues school issues friendship issues and issues with each other We also get a valuable insight or reminder into how rocky and unpredictable the teenage mind and heart can be Rob Reiner's Flipped is a rather lovely film but it never explores any unique territory nor feels expansive Still it has a healthy heart and only good intentions The two teens that we follow are Juli and Bryce Juli in retrospect is a far more likable and sympathetic character than Bryce in my eyes Juli appreciates the small things and has a pointed eye for beauty in the world She's A passionate smart and empathetic girl who has a concentrated infatuation for Bryce her next door neighbour who is almost the polar opposite to her He's A typical boy who is constantly annoyed and almost condescending when addressing Juli until of course these feelings are flipped as the film progresses
