Directed by Greg Berlanti
20th Century Fox
Based on the book Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
My comments: I've heard people reflect that this is a sweet movie, and it is. The actor that played Simon did a really good job and portrayed the character well. His car full of friends seemed a little bit too unreal, however. As did his picture-perfect loving family. Just a little too picture perfect, I think. I did like the way that as he kept sleuthing out his unknown pen pal he envisioned the possibilities typing his return messages. The assistant principal was a real hoot. Very enjoyable movie, recommended.
RT/ IMDb Summary: Everyone deserves a great love story. But for seventeen-year old Simon Spier it's a little more complicated: he's yet to tell his family or friends he's gay and he doesn't actually know the identity of the anonymous classmate he's fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and life-changing. Directed by Greg Berlanti (Riverdale, The Flash, Supergirl), written by Isaac Aptaker & Elizabeth Berger (This is Us), and based on Becky Albertalli's acclaimed novel, LOVE, SIMON is a funny and heartfelt coming-of-age story about the thrilling ride of finding yourself and falling in love.
