Review of Flipped (2010) by Vincent W — 26 Mar 2013
This was actually a very decent film. I tend to absolutely despise coming of age stories but this one worked for some reason. I think it was mostly because of the way that the story is told. The boy gets to tell his side of events first and then the girl follows up with her side to each episode. This was an incredibly effective way of telling the story (i'm not sure if this was the director's idea or if it was from the book that the film is based off of). The script was spot on and the 2 main kids did a very good job in their respective roles. Some of the characters overplayed their parts a bit but it wasn't as offensive to me as it usually is.
Many coming of age stories are hampered by their weak messages but this film had a very clear point that it was trying to make (mostly about honesty) and it succeeded in spades.
SUMMARY: If you are into coming of age dramas then this is a good one.
