“Juli just had to take one look at Bryceu0026#39;s blue eyes, and she knew it was true love. Bryce just had to take one notice of Juliu0026#39;s manic desperation, and he knew it was going to be a friendship of torment. I just had to take one look at the filmu0026#39;s artfully designed poster, and I knew u0026quot;Flippedu0026quot; was a film to be savoured.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA beautifully told film of first love, we flip from Juliu0026#39;s point of view to Bryceu0026#39;s point of view, very effectively giving us the true nature of their friendship, love and respect they have for each other. Except in the case of middle-school graders, that love and respect can frequently look like embarrassment, mistrust, and shame. All of those emotions are told with intelligence, subtlety and humour.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Flippedu0026quot; has all of the comedy, naiveté and bewilderment of first love. It takes the romantic comedy farther by actually giving us characters with real depth. There is more going on than just Juli and Bryce figuring out their love for each other, and every aspect of this film is well written, touching and relevant.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Flippedu0026quot; is a cute film for everybody who fondly remembers that fiercely independent girl or the guy with piercing blue eyes that lived across the street.”
