The Worst Film Ever
Matialth
Good concept, poorly executed.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Usually, I do a lot of research before starting a TV show or a movie. I had no idea what the movie was about before I saw it the first time. Went blindly for it putting my complete faith on my sister's recommendation which mostly would be great. And then it was altogether a heavenly feel. Was a bliss, every dialogue and the importance of each character and the emotional touch that binds everything together has been done brilliantly. It never happens but I loved the movie so much that I saw it twice back to back without a break. Most movies have a fixed plot but the drama is a genre where the director can explore things way beyond the story and give serious importance to granular emotions. This kid love story is no way lesser than the masterpiece trilogy "Before Sunrise....". This is one of the best feel-good movies that anyone would love irrespective of age and taste. It sometimes feels like the IMDb that once was alive before 6 years is completely messed up now. There is no correct way to differentiate good movies from the bad ones when the superhero movies usually get 7 and above rating. This one should definitely be an 8 pointer and above, also surely deserves a strong place in TOP 250 when "Inside Out" can be in.

First of all, I love this movie so much and I would like to appreciate Rob because he reminds me of my first love via this movie. The movie is processing with two main characters – Juli and Bryce. Juli is a very beautiful girl: Long chestnut hair, big green eyes, like a melted ice cream in the summer. However, she is pretty naughty. She is ready for a relationship when she is 7 and she even hit the newspaper's headline because of hampering her neighbors cutting the tree. She is entangled his new neighbor which is a little handsome boy Bryce. Bryce doesn't like to stay with Juli and so does his father Steven. Steven thinks Juli seems to be too animated and he hates Juli's father too! Steven thinks Richard is a jerk because of his ugly painting and ugly courtyard. In short, Juli's family is a freak in the neighborhood. With the age growing up. Juli and Bryce's life are slowly and subtly changing. Their views of the each other and also the world are changing too. In this process, Bryce's grandfather Chet plays an important character. He is the first guy to helps Bryce finds Juli's unique and helps Juli in obscurity. Moreover, the most interesting thing of the story is that the director uses the linear narrative mode, it also has a sub-mode of repetition and contrast. In this way, I can clearly feel the difference, contradictions, gaps between the boys and girls. It just sent me back to when I was young and reminding how much I avoided girls and how many tricks that I put on them.My favorite part of the film is the experiences of the main character's growth. Most of the coming of age genre movies are event driven not personality driven, the psychological changes and behavioral choices are often driven by some sudden events. However, Flipped describes the processing of the growing and maturing in the daily life. Juli doesn't love thinking since she was young. She realizes the beauty's difference of the appearance and the inherent when she pursuits the true beauty. Bryce also becomes a warrior from a cowardly kid step by step. Rob leads us to flip from Juli's view to Bryce's view to shows us the true nature of their friendship and love, their love and respect to each other and ends this story with a lovely and sweet ending. All in all, I enjoyed this movie and would like to recommend it!

Friend of mine read a review saying this movie reminded the reviewer of a Miyazaki film. Being a Ghibli fan myself, I had to watch it. Lets see: The movie isn't bad. It brings a lot of nostalgia of that bitter-sweet moment we all had as children: our first love. All the happy moments and all the emotional roller-coaster that came with it. My problem are the voice overs. The ENTIRE movie format is based on them. We're already seeing whats happening so we don't need the protagonists explaining it to us. Maybe some small bits would've worked. But not every single step. Not the full time. It gets tedious. If you can bypass that, then the movie isn't too bad.

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
