You never forget your first love.
Juli Baker devoutly believes in three things: the sanctity of trees (especially her beloved sycamore), the wholesomeness of the eggs she collects from her backyard flock of chickens, and that someday she will kiss Bryce Loski. Ever since she saw Bryce's baby blues back in second grade, Juli has been smitten. Unfortunately, Bryce has never felt the same. Frankly, he thinks Juli Baker is a little weird--after all, what kind of freak raises chickens and sits in trees for fun? Then, in eighth grade, everything changes. Bryce begins to see that Juli's unusual interests and pride in her family are, well, kind of cool. And Juli starts to think that maybe Bryce's brilliant blue eyes are as empty as the rest of Bryce seems to be. After all, what kind of jerk doesn't care about other people's feelings about chickens and trees? With Flipped, mystery author Wendelin Van Draanen has taken a break from her Sammy Keyes series, and the result is flipping fantastic. Bryce and Juli's rants and raves about each other ring so true that teen readers will quickly identify with at least one of these hilarious feuding egos, if not both. A perfect introduction to the adolescent war between the sexes.

Okay, let’s dispense immediately with the idea that this film is gearedtoward teenagers and all of their sap that they go through. I assureyou “mature adults” out there that this film will delight you also,unless you are a completely hopelessly lost Scrooge. This film shouldmake sense to all ages. Everyone should identify with it. I don’t carewhat kind of a snob, low-life, big wig, or puritan you are, you shouldenjoy this film. It’s never too sappy when it deals with matters of theheart, nor is it too blunt and insensitive.

Juli flipped over Bryce. Bryce's dad flips out. Mom and sister weartheir hair in a flip.
Charming tale told in a "he said she said" often voice-over manner.Interesting enough and short enough so the style doesn't detract. Don'tlet the print ads mislead you. Bryce never climbs the tree.
Excellent performances from the entire cast. Outstanding use of periodmusic. Great collection of shinning '67 Chevy's.
Courage, family values, character and nothing explodes. People of everyage are treated with respect. What a refreshing movie. Archie Bunkerwas wrong, Rob Reiner got it right again. He's no meat-head.
