Too bad about the completely inappropriate foul language. :(
This was such a cute book, and the film is nice EXCEPT that the language is completely inappropriate and, really, 7 year olds thinking about their first kisses? While intended for a young audience, the use of misplaced foul language (which EASILY could have been omitted) precludes our children from viewing this film for some years now. Use of "jacksh--t," "hell," "crap," "goddamn," and "a--hole" (though I completely agree he was an "a--hole) were incredibly poor judgment. For children accustomed the this language and inordinately young crushes, this film is beautiful and otherwise sweet.

Sweet story of the changing relationship between a girl and boy
Very sweet story of friendship, family values, doing the right thing for the right reasons, and young love -- shown through more than one person's viewpoint. There is one family member who is verbally very negative / somewhat abusive, and another family member who is mentally disabled. It clearly demonstrates that there is always more than one side to any story.

Actually follows the book! See it!
This is one the first movies that actually follows the book perfectly. Every scene is there, the actors portray the characters perfectly, and the overall theme of the movie is clearly stated. The language is very iffy for a PG. Jacks**t, god****t, hell, and as*h**e are all said by the characters. There is some thematic material such as talk about mental retardation and a man always thinking about his dead wife. Even though it maybe should have been PG-13, this is a fantastic coming of age story.

Great movie destroyed by needless cursing
Very good movie, with good messages, and learning opportunities for kids. It is hard to pull off this kind of story and still be able to entertain today's kids, but they did it. I am still totally dismayed why this and other movies think they can't be complete without all the swearing. I understand why it must be in some movies for reality's sake, but it was totally unnecessary in this movie, and very inappropriate for anyone under age 13.

Great Movie!
There was way too much profanity for a supposedly "PG" film. But, it was an amazing movie!! I personally would recommend it to alot of teens my age.

Really good, but not for young kids
'Flipped' is a really good movie! There's a bit of colourful language here and there and since it's based in the sixties they refer to the disabled uncle as 'retarded', but that word wasn't rude back then. Overall, it has a good message. It says that just because you make a mistake doesn't mean you're a bad person. Also, to look at the person as a whole.

Right at the beginning of the movie, it already started to turn into a really good movie. It's just a great idea to create something like this! I think that this was definitely a movie for the whole family to enjoy. However there was somewhat violence. The father hit the daughter and after that she said some bad words. Also, there is a retarded person who knocked over the table and had a fit because his ice cream dropped. It might be a little scary because it is a little loud. Plus, there are a few bad words. Nothing really to worry about but still it should be supervised and understood. It would be best if they didn't understand that you talk to them after the movie if they have any questions!

u should watch if u like slow paced movies
very well done movie, but borring in the long run.i think that bryce could have stood up for julie when his friend made fun of her, instead of pertending to agre.i meen,show some back bone!! also bryces dad is soooo mean to the bakers, just because they had a retarded family member.

pretty chill movie for older kids (:
Flipped, overall, is not a badly made film. The plot is easy to follow, and the characters played their parts quite well. The only thing that I was incredibly shocked about was the (frequent) language throughout the movie. I actually had to walk out of the movie once to go check that it was, in fact, PG. There are two times in the movie that mention the S word, by a 13 year old which i thought, was totally inappropriate, especially since it's in a PG movie. Also a girl calls her father the A word where he promptly slaps her which provokes her to say "go to ****" to him which is another thing that I thought was totally uncalled for. Both of these language instances did not make the film any better, and honestly i think they could've been taken out easily. There aren't many sensual parts in the movie. You can see a budding romance between the two main characters, and a sister invites two boys from another family up to see her room ("Come on, lemme show you my room."), but nothing happens.The dad is not a good role model at all, treating a whole family terribly because they have one mentally slow family member. However, when you overlook the wrong parts in the movie, it's a really positive message that it's sending kids. it shows that there are certain boundaries that should never be crossed, that it's important to stick up for what you believe, and that family is a very important thing. have fun at flipped!

Slow and Harmless, Not Bad but Not Good either
I thought the story was very slow and was not particularly compelling. Sorry! I had high hopes for this film as I am a big fan of Rob Reiner's. A Princess Bride was much more entertaining!
