Flipped is a unique and beautiful look at young love and the misinterpretations of life. Ron Reiner, one of the greatest directors of his generation, creates a beautiful story telling love story through the eyes of both young actors. The story is narrated back and forth from each character's perspective. Signals are consistently crossed throughout the story and ultimately it shows how magical and confusing falling in love can be. John Mahoney, Aidan Quinn, Anthony Edwards, Rebecca De Mornay and Penelope Anne Miller all perform well in supporting roles for the young stars. Actors Madeline Carroll and Callan McAuliffe portray our main characters wonderfully, who are thrown into this roller coaster of emotion throughout the film. Not easy for young actors to pull off, yet the film is brilliantly told to the audience.
This movie grossed $1.7 million in the U.S. and I only heard about it second hand from a friend of my parents. When I did finally see it, it became one of my 10 favorite movies in an amazing year for film in 2010. It is certainly worthy of mention as one of the Most Underrated Movies of 2010.
