Flipped (2010)

I love the YA book that the movie is based on. It is a story, mostly the same story, but told from two different perspectives, a boy and a girl who are on the cusp of adolescence. It is the time when boys and girls are probably the furthest apart from each other in terms of maturity and perspective. The girl comes from a compicated family, where her father is supporting his disabled sibling in a private facility but leaves his family with very little in the way of money, so they live in poverty as a result. The boy has an uncomplicated family, but mid-story, his grieving grandfather moves in with the family, and he takes a liking to the neighbor girl. She is lit from inside, passionate and energetic, and she reminds him of his now deceased wife and he wants to help her. The book is a bit better I think but this is a story well worth watching, and family friendly as well.
