She’s the girl who "flipped" for Bryce the moment she saw him. She’s spirited, sees the world in colors and heights (literally, from her beloved sycamore tree), and values people for the "sum of their parts". flipped.2010

Flipped isn’t just a romance; it’s a coming-of-age story about the difference between looks and character. The film draws a sharp contrast between two families. Juli’s family is financially strapped but emotionally rich—her father (a wonderful Aidan Quinn) is a painter and a philosopher who teaches her about the “whole being greater than the sum of its parts.” Bryce’s family is wealthy, respectable, and deeply flawed, led by a father (Anthony Edwards) whose cynicism and snobbery mask a broken interior.

At its core, Flipped (2010) is deceptively simple. It tells the story of Juli Baker (Madeline Carroll) and Bryce Loski (Callan McAuliffe), two neighbors who meet in the summer of 1957, just before starting the second grade. Juli is immediately smitten by Bryce’s dazzling blue eyes. Bryce is immediately repulsed by Juli’s overbearing enthusiasm and her strange obsession with his eyes—and her pet chickens.
