Review by Poppy Mae Bee
Gentle well acted movie about a young boy's first love. The twist is that he is gay and has not come out even though his family and friends are accepting and loving. Not being ready to make the announcement he makes some bad decisions that hurt his loyal friends. But to quote Mr. Shakespeare.... alls well that ends well.
Apparently, this is the first time a major studio has made a coming of age movie focussed on a gay teen. Really, many of the issues transcend how one defines one's sexuality.
Based on a popular YA novel Simon vs the Homo Sapien Agenda. Worth a watch no matter your age or how you define yourself.
