Flipped

...what makes "Flipped" such a warm entertainment is how it re-creates a life we wish we'd had when we were 14.

...Reiner returns to some of the same elements that defined his 1986 legacy work Stand by Me: a coming-of-age story steeped in small-town, midcentury Americana and accompanied by voiceover narration.

There's something sweetly endearing about a movie like Flipped, which is unabashedly nostalgic.

...is Rob Reiner's best film in 18 years, and includes echoes of two of his most accomplished efforts, The Sure Thing and Stand By Me.

...a sweet, engaging family film with enough heart for two movies.
