Everyone deserves a great love story. But for Simon it's complicated: no-one knows he's gay and he doesn't know who the anonymous classmate is that he's fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, scary and life-changing. (imdb)

Pros: Sweet; family friendly; mainstream film where a gay, biracial couple actually has a happy ending where they are visibly together. Cons: This film plays into a larger trend of chaste, outdated homonormativity that's all over Hollywood. It obscures Simon's queerness by consistently reminding us that he's "normal", "tolerated", and "like everyone else", thereby making the target audience of this largely cis-hetero people so as to make them feel good for tolerating us abnormal queers.

Love, Simon could be considered progressive if it had come out 15 years ago. The plot is simplistic, and works through the staples of teenage coming-of-age, coming-out movies as if it were a game of bingo. Despite this all, I really enjoyed this film. The entire cast is great and the script is surprisingly strong, with enough levity to not make it a slog. The ending is ridiculously cheesy, but somehow it feels earned.

I went to this, dragged along by my daughter, she's 14, thinks she's gay, loves really crappy musicals. So, yeah, I was fully prepared to die a little on the inside watching this one. It's got all the stuff I expected and desperately hoped not to see, like a female best friend secretly in love with the gay guy, your obligatory drama club, and cringy public professions of love. But even with all of that, "Love, Simon" was handled and acted well enough that, for the life of me, I can't hate it.

The actors' chemistry is one of the cringiest I've ever seen. Probably, because the dialogue really sucks. And is pretty representative of how painfully crude and cheesy the entire movie is. With its precious, pretentious up-their-own-ass characters. Especially the protagonist, who ever so effortlessly fucks with his friends way more than he has to. I also don't understand why the movie hypes up the (almost unexistent) romantic aspect at the end. What a bland looking, awkward, cheesy cringefest.

Excellent coming-of-ager threatens to buckle under some self-conscious and ostentatious writing in the establishing scenes, before revealing itself as a poignant and insightful portrait of growing pains and 'being yourself', with Simon's sexuality almost proving an afterthought or MacGuffin (whether this is good or bad will ultimately vary from viewer to viewer). Perfectly cast from top to bottom, with Garner and Duhamel wonderful as Simon's parents, and Hale very amusing as the vice principal.

I saw this movie at a critics preview screening. I didn't go in with much expectations and I left really wanting to read the book and see more of the story. It is definitely young adult and has some flaws, but it was genuinely really funny and cute and sweet. It doesn't have the depth of Call Me By Your Name, but it gives a similar message much more clearly and accessibly.

There are a lot -- and I mean a lot -- of "coming of age" movies. Most of them, unfortunately, fall into that murky territory called "okay to not very good". And then, there's "Love, Simon", which is a very good movie on its own, and almost a masterpiece compared to some of its direct siblings, if for no other reason than this: "Love, Simon" is so thoroughly believable, and even when it veers into the exaggerated, it's way too good to hold that against it. So far, it's among the year's best.

I know it's bad to compare a film with its source as they are two different things but the book just did it so much better. Part of the appeal of the book that put it a cut above the average YA novel was the normality of the central character, the indie music references and the humour. Other than the fabulous drama teacher, the humour did not cross over into the film, and Simon's obsession with music was only lightly touched on. No classic but I appreciate what it's achieving for gay awareness.

Love, Simon bravely takes on the challenges of coming out, the affects of high school and how black mail and bullying can drastically alter the course of someones life. The acting was top notch thanks to Robinson and Langford and the rest of the supporting cast. A very engaging film perhaps the only downfall was it dragged a bit near the end instead of wrapping things up a little quicker and more efficiently. A great film with a powerful message.

I'll leave judgment of the overall portrayal of being gay to non-hetero people (though it's encouraging that the director is one), but to me it sure was refreshing to see the gay love story happy ending (even if it was a little cheesy), and I thought the complicated internal tension of Simon's coming out process was captured really well (the proof was in my sobbing at the beautiful line "You can exhale now"). Robinson is excellent, and the underlying high school dramedy is perfectly quirky.

I am a middle aged married guy so I'm probably not the target audience for this. This movie has quite a few flaws. I find it hard to believe that this is the average high school experience. Simon's family, bedroom and friends all seem to good to be true. The bullies seem over the top and I didn't think the emails showed what Simon sees. But the film overcomes these flaws with some good performances & a light straight forward story.

It's a film that's charming and emotional, almost despite itself. You couldn't get much more of a stereotypical teen-romcom even if you tried. The obvious difference being that the protagonist is gay but it feels so seamless, it almost undoes its uniqueness. The fact that this still manages to raise itself above the typical goes to show its importance. Particular shout outs to Jennifer Garner and Josh Duhamel, playing the parents, who both bring a great deal to this film.

I have no problem with cheesy, saccharine-sweet endings when they're as earned as this one. As many have pointed out, Love, Simon is not particularly progressive or ground-breaking, nor does it try to be. For me, it feels like a celebration of how far we've come (the fact that this movie is generally seen as "no big deal" only reinforces this), without losing sight of the progress left ahead. Love, Simon may be formulaic, but it cares deeply for its characters, making it a worthwhile watch.

It doesn’t feel very realistic, particularly how the whole email storyline is some sort of “destiny”. But Love, Simon is a film that we have somehow not gotten until now, and I’m glad it exists. The humor is usually either okay or pretty clever, the characters are fairly well developed, and the pacing is solid throughout. It may not be a masterpiece but it’s enjoyable for the general audience and essential for its target audience.

a warm teen film. but as a part of queer cinema it falls same mistake: trying to convince its audience with normalization of the homosexuality. this type of propaganda damages to artistic side of the film. also i think accepting the difference is more important than normalization on it, still it's another topic of discussion. simon's friends as the supporting characters were very lively. especially martin, i can simply say that he saved the film.

The sweet-natured LOVE, SIMON strikes a winning balance between its status as a landmark in mainstream representation and its desire to tell a story about the romantic pitfalls of adolescence. While quite generic in execution--the movie even engages in a bit of meta-commentary on Simon's blandness--it's the perspective from which we see these familiar beats that give the film its unique shape. SIMON is the same, yet different, and that's a good thing for us and for the movies as a whole.

Replicates both the triumphs and follies of teen movie classics with fidelity. What credit it loses as a result of a hackneyed and not-especially-funny script (the bulk of the authentic comedy is performance-centric) it almost makes up for with its genuinely empathetic spirit. Unchallenging in form and not exactly bold in its messaging, Love, Simon nonetheless offers its target audience a much needed beacon of humanity and compassion, which is surely worth more than what I could put into words.

It's decent. It has a couple of major problems that stop it from being great. The acting is good, there's just enough humor to give us an occasional chuckle, it's got a good heart--even if the execution might not be the best--and I do genuinely think it'll help some people who watch it. Representation matters, and if you see someone in a movie going through something you're dealing with, it can help you out. I wish Love, Simon were a great high school movie.

It's an easily digestible film about a gay guy coming out and the consequences of such... and I'd be lying if I said that it didn't get me emotionally. Sometimes it gets a little overblown, but it does do a good job of riffing on that for the most part. For example, the ending is too much and yet it didn't lose me because I was cheering for Simon and they made a joke about it. But damn, apologize to your little sis who was just trying to help! 75 for now, might up it 5 points later.

In a lot of ways this reminded me of a John Hughes movie. Essentially this is a overly perfect film with overly perfect upper middle class people living nearly Disney style lives, in other words its a slightly above average, mildly entertaining fluff piece that makes you feel good but doesn't really feel like it takes place in the real world.

It's kind of "forced" relation between a white and black teen simply to convey the message that love knows no color or creed. The idea was good, but the choice of actors to portray it didn't match at all. Simon's neighbor (his crush) or his school's midfielder as his secret pen pal could have pulled the trick. My SCORING: 99-96=Great; 95-90=Very good; 89-85=Good; 84-80=So-so; 79-70=Boring; Below 70=Forget it.

Love, Simon is a charming and likeable coming of age flick that softly approaches it’s subject matter. The story telling, performances and humour is serviceable throughout but the lacklustre writing makes this a forgettable and unconvincing experience. So much unnecessary effort goes into trying to normalise Nick Robinson’s character when instead the writers could have delved deeper into the subject and tested it’s audience. There is nothing to dislike but there is nothing that stands out.

This movie feels a bit outdated, unfortunately. It is definitely a movie that oozes warmth with well-timed humorous moments and is a good watch, but especially the first half of the movie and some of the characters could have used better writing. The movie rights the ship and explores some non-cliche stuff later on, so there's that.

Has a certain low-key charm at the beginning, but quickly descends into deception and misunderstanding of the most simplistic, high-school sort (yes, it's a high-school flick, but somehow one wants something better from it), and wraps up with a syrupy happy ending. Another central problem is that Robinson is not believable for one moment as a gay kid. Why not give an actor who is actually gay (and therefore has a hope of portraying it convincingly) a chance?

When Love, Simon hits bottom it's a double-whammy dealing not just with Simon's sexual orientation but also fallout from how he has treated his friends. I think this is one of the movie's strengths, not weaknesses as some other reviewers have suggested. Overall, while not a progressive or groundbreaking message in 2018, it's a solid reinforcement of progress that has been made.

This is one of those rare films about young people that is actually FOR young people, but goddamn if this isn't one of the most sickening, self-absorbed, patronizing, fucked up films ever made. It's like the gay Notebook, yet somehow way worse. The writing is atrocious. It's cliche and tone-deaf in all the most cringeworthy ways a gay coming-of-age story could possibly be. I can't believe this was made in 2018 and not 1988. Gay kids deserve a better coming-of-age film. This tacky BS is harmful.
