I absolutely love this movie. At first it seems like a typical boy girl love story but it goes deeper than that. Both characters learn to appreciate and love eachother for things on the inside.
Rob Reiner is a dude who made actual movies, movies with an interest in being engaging and unique and entertaining. Spinal Tap was a groundbreaking mockumentary. Princess Bride helped turn the fantasy genre on its head. When Harry Met Sally and Stand By Me were incredibly personal and relatable. Few Good Men is fast-paced and wonderfully written. Flipped, on the other hand, is nothing but an emotional trainwreck that takes a unique structure conceit and goes nowhere with it.
Rob Reiner's nostalgic romcom doesn't quite hit the mark the way his other films have. While the movie does convey the general awkwardness of being a teenager in the 1950s. Unfortunately, it also drags out the ignorance of a generation out along with it. Rebecca De Mornay and John Mahoney are thankfully around to save us all from the overwhelming ignorance conveyed by Anthony Edwards (who loses quite a few brownie points in my book for taking this part in the first place).Madeline Carroll is an incredible find, though her character is a little overdone, and Callan McAuliffe is convincing as the awkward teen as he most likely had just survived his awkward teens when cast for the film. It's a film you REALLY WANT to like if you're a fan of Reiner's work, but in general the film drags on a little too much, highlighting comments of VAST ignorance that the mixed audience viewing the film with me found very offensive.
Madeline Carroll plays there. I know her from Jackie Chan's movie so I watched also this one. I was literally in love when I saw it for the first time! I had to re-watch it like 10 times I think? This story is so real and it makes me think on lots of things. Those actors were perfectly picked for this movie. I love how calmly they look, what attitude they had to for releasing this movie. I like Madeline's talent for acting. She can merge with every role she got! Maybe it's because of her true smile, or eyes? Whatever it is, it's very big gift from God. Great job! Really. It has my all respect! :) Writing this review makes me wanna watch it again. :D
