FLIPPED is a bighearted he said/she said romantic comedy about young love which starts in 1957 in Middle America and includes some insightful and timeless lessons about character.

Mel Gibson stars in SIGNS as Graham Hess, an Episcopal priest in a small Pennsylvania town who has lost his faith after a family tragedy and must protect his children from a mysterious creature who invades their farm. Though riveting and well acted, SIGNS is too scary for children, and, despite some redemptive, Christian elements, seems to have a false Hindu worldview with New Age themes.

Due to some violence and conversation about sexual abuse, MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution for sensitive teenagers.
