Love Simon - DVD

Love Simon is a wonderful coming of age movie with great acting!

In a way I’m surprised that this movie was not made a while back. Truth is , being gay is still a difficult realization for a lot of teens and this is an uplifting story about an ordinary teen with a great family what’s its like to realize you’re different and how that affects you and everyone around you. It’s an uplifting film for those of us that have been through this and even though it’s a much better environment now it’s still something that causes teen suicides among gay kids to be at a much higher rate than it is for those that are straight. As for the movie itself , it’s well done with Jennifer Garner in one seen when she is having a heart felt conversation with her son that is very moving and well acted. josh Duhamel was very good as well . The main character Simon is played by a straight actor that does an admirable job. I just think that s gay actor would have been able to identify a little more and added more nuance to the role but he does a decent job overall . good flick and I’ve recommended it to some good friends of mine whose teenage son had just come out to them and is in an environment much like that of the title character in this film .

So many good things to say about this "Love, Simon" DVD. I wish this movie had been made back when I was younger. It brings up some of the things that closeted kids might have to deal with. I appreciated the positive ending, as so many LGBTQ+ movies end tragically. I would recommend to anyone seeking a movie with a positive outcome.

I absolutely adored Love, Simon. I first encountered these characters in the book by Becky Albertalli, Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda, and seeing them come to life in this film was amazing. It's a sweet movie with very touching moments between Simon and his friends and family. I definitely recommend this movie (and the book if you're a reader!) for fans of young adult LGBT stories and movies.

I really enjoyed this movie, its a great story, has a strong Pro-LGBT Theme. Simon is a teen in the closet about his sexuality, but is forced to make some hard decisions. Its very Straight friendly, wholesome story, and will really pull you into Simon's Life and situation. Recommend it!
