Flipped (2010 film)

Flipped is a 2010 American romantic comedy-drama film co-written and directed by Rob Reiner, and based on Wendelin Van Draanen's 2001 novel of the same name.

[3] Starring Callan McAuliffe, Madeline Carroll, Rebecca De Mornay, Anthony Edwards, John Mahoney, Penelope Ann Miller, Aidan Quinn, and Kevin Weisman, the film tells the story of two eighth graders who start to have feelings for each other, despite being total opposites.

It has since garnered a greater appreciation for its realistic portrayal of teenagers and a wider viewership via home video and streaming services, so much so that it is now considered a cult favorite.

Desperate to get rid of her, he pretends to date Sherry Stalls, a popular girl Juli dislikes.

Juli adores an old sycamore tree in their neighborhood, so when one day they start to cut it down, she tries to protect it by climbing it, refusing to come down.

An article is printed about it in the local paper, which Chet shows Bryce in an attempt to get him to open up his mind.

When Bryce's father, Steven, criticizes the Bakers' seeming lack of pride in their property, Chet defends them, pointing out that they rent and the landlord should be the one to take care of it.

Two days later, with Richard's permission, Bryce plants a sapling sycamore tree in their front yard to show her how he truly feels.

The consensus reads: "While not without its nostalgic charms, Rob Reiner's sometimes awkward adaptation of Wendelin Van Draanen's childhood novel doesn't reach the heights of the director's earlier work like Stand By Me.
