Last week, yet another teen book was made into a feature film. Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen, and a popular book around these parts, caught the attention of famous director Rob Reiner when his son had to read the book in middle school. (In case you don't know, Rob Reiner is kind of a big deal, who starred in a TV show called All In the Family in the '70s and then directed some pretty amazing movies like Stand By Me, The Princess Bride (!!), When Harry Met Sally and more. So it's cool that he's behind this movie.) It sounds like the movie will stay pretty close to the book with the exception that it now takes place in the 1950s. For an interview with Reiner about the film click here.
And if you haven't read Flipped, basically it's a romance between two teens (a guy and a girl) who tell about themselves and their feelings for each other in alternating chapters.
