Review of Flipped (2010) by Danny D — 30 Jan 2011

Instead of a nostalgic look at young romance and middle school life, this felt like a forced attempt to create another timeless kids classic in the tradition of films like the sandlot. the narration was a bit dry, and much of the dialogue felt incomplete.

I kept waiting for the characters to say the things that most people would say in their given situations, and most of the expected dialogue was left out in order, it seems, to manufacture the circumstances desired to further the sub par plot.

I laughed a few times and the film was not without a few redeeming qualities, but overall this film falls flat.
