	Media	Author	Review
		Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times	"'Flipped' is the kind of small, special movie that wraps you up in so much warmth, humor and humanity that it will leave you wishing that stories like this weren't so rare"
		Andrew Barker Variety	"A somewhat leaden piece of work, its considerable charms nearly smothered by strange pacing and awkward staging"
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"A lovely movie (...) Maybe what makes Flipped such a warm entertainment is how it re-creates a life we wish we'd had when we were 14. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"
		Claudia Puig USA Today	"A pleasantly nostalgic and well-intentioned family movie featuring strong performances by its young actors. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter	"Reiner again demonstrates compassion and insight into young people's battles to acquire self-knowledge, but in his new film, too many clearly fictional characters and contrived situations bog down his story"
		James Berardinelli ReelViews	"'Flipped' 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.'"
		Lou Lumenick New York Post	"Interesting enough that you wish it were better."
		Ty Burr Boston Globe	"Sweet, smartly acted, and charmingly old-fashioned, Flipped is a minor pleasure that will strike a lot of moviegoers - those who think no one makes movies for them anymore - as a major treat"
