Can you remember your first crush? I flipped over the coming-of-age novel, Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen. Now it's coming to the silver screen thanks to one of my favorite directors, Rob Reiner (When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, Stand by Me).
A flashback to the 1960's with a Mayberry setting, this movie could seem square except for an interesting twist. Just like the name suggests, Flipped is told in two distinct voices, his and hers. In this nostalgic movie, you'll see the world through the eyes of both Juli and Bryce--and you just might travel back to the most unforgettable time of your life...
The movie trailer reminds me of one of my favorite TV shows, The Wonder Years. Although the movie doesn't have the dark edginess of many movies popular with teens today, it captures the universal feelings angst during the teenage years. I'm looking forward to watching it with my kids.
