FlippedMovie · 2010
If you live for the 'childhood friends to lovers' trope, 'Flipped' is basically your soulmate. Watching Juli fall head-over-heels for Bryce from the jump, only for him to slowly, agonizingly come around, is pure romantic tension. Plus, young Callan McAuliffe is giving us major soft boy vibes as Bryce, making that slow burn even more worth it. This one hits all the nostalgic feels for that first big crush.
Flipped tells the story of Juli Baker and Bryce Loski, two kids who have very different ideas about each other. Juli is convinced it's love at first sight when she meets Bryce in second grade, while Bryce initially finds her intense and tries to avoid her. The movie follows their changing dynamic from childhood through their middle school years, showing how their perceptions of each other, their families, and themselves evolve. What makes it stand out is its dual narration, giving audiences both Juli's passionate perspective and Bryce's more reserved one on the same events.
