I can’t remember the last time I went to see a “grown-up” movie. The few times when both my husband and I are off AND have child care, we typically just sleep relax. Last week, I found a website that provides information on advanced movie screenings. Since there isn’t much in this world that’s truly free, I was a bit skeptical. I had been wanting to see the movie Flipped, and I wasn’t able to attend the media screening last week. So I signed up, fully expecting to go through hoops to see a free movie that hasn’t even been released yet. To my surprise, I received the information on how to print out my 2 passes within minutes. It was that simple!
My thought was, ah…I get to watch a movie in peace…I don’t even have to write about it if I don’t want to. But it was so good, I couldn’t help but tell you about it. It’s very rare these days to find a wholesome family film. The movie made me laugh…and cry…and think about my relationship with both my children and my parents. Directed by Rob Reiner and starring Madeline Carroll, Callan McAuliffe, Rebecca De Morna, Anthony Edwards, and Aidan Quinn, you’ll “flip” for Flipped. This romantic comedy follows both perspectives of second-graders Bryce and Juli through elementary school into junior high school as they struggle through family life, love, identity, and tragedy.
Here is a quick synopsis from the site:
When second-graders Bryce and Juli first meet, Juli knows it’s love. But Bryce isn’t so sure. Girl-phobic and easily embarrassed, young Bryce does everything he can to keep his outspoken wannabe girlfriend at arm’s length… for the next six years, which isn’t easy since they go to the same school and live across the street from each other. But if Juli finally looks away, will it be Bryce’s turn to be dazzled?
Flipped is scheduled for limited release on August 6th and will be in theaters nationwide on August 27th.
No compensation was received for this post. I attended an advanced screening, courtesy of Gofobo and you can too!
