Love, Simon - Movie Review

[@twheeler1980]

Saw this movie in my hometown which is 90% Mormon, surprised a Tuesday late showing was very full.... Then was even more pleasantly surprised by the audience reaction... In Idaho... with about 100 Mormons. A movie that can elicit sniffles, laughs, and finally awwws at the kiss in the last scene is obviously doing something right. Great movie.

[@BabysitterSky]

"in a movie, a gay character's whole character is that they're gay..... And that's not a deep character" THANK YOU!!!!

[@Ineptatpiano]

As a gay man, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree. There is so much more to people. It’s such a shallow inclusivity, not meaningful at all, usually people just insert a gay character for “woke” points and that character isn’t even important or relevant to the overall plot. It’s frustrating because the truth is people hone in on it hardcore, that’s why I personally don’t want to come out, because I’m single and happy and on top of that suddenly that becomes the full focus of most people’s attention. They just wanna know IF you’re gay, not what being gay is like as a human experience, not to connect and empathize. Just to scratch a novel itch.

[@sophiehaslam2492]

as a lesbian i cannot tell you how refreshing it is to have a teen coming of age drama with a gay lead and an accurate portrayal of coming out so i just love this movie

[@excitedcat9517]

I'm pretty sure nick was familiar because he was in Jurassic world Jeremy

[@calebl.4351]

Excited Cat ah that’s right, and it’s ironic cuz he was girl crazy in Jurassic world, and he’s gay in love simon.

[@gmbrusselsprout]

Even more ironic... he's very sweet in Love Simon, but he was a maaaajor jerk in Jurassic World :P

[@mechasentai]

Kurt Anderson Did you keep your receipt tho?

[@KurtAnderson812]

@@KurtAnderson812 Sorry you had that experience Kurt

[@Hayden_Cat]

Kurt Anderson now it’s just like “oh btw I’m gay” and my friends are just like “isn’t everyone at least a little”

[@AceHufflepuff]

I also love that he's not that STEREOTYPICAL gay character either he's not EXTRA....Like he's just a normal dude. A plus movie it's an A plus movie for sure.

[@niemeyerjack]

TheMKatStudio ‘stereotypical’ & ‘extra’ gay men are also ‘normal dudes’ 🤷‍♂️

[@AceHufflepuff]

they are indeed but you KNOW what I'm very well talking about it's those guys that are just GAY cause like Jahns said they need a gay character that's it. This kid isn't JeffreeStar he's....He's Tyler Oakley there we go.

[@niemeyerjack]

TheMKatStudio okay i guess i misunderstood the gist of the original comment, i agree that most on screen gay men are written stereotypically and i was really glad this movie kinda stepped out of the box in that regard

[@AceHufflepuff]

that's cool that's why I added in the two different youtubers as comparison....In the end Simon's just a completely normal dude who happens to be gay-you'd NEVER know he were gay unless he actually came out to you which is why I love it so much

[@pfcbangin]

Moonlight is another movie that did that well.

[@montman1498]

I've seen this, surprisingly enjoyable. I think they did a great job with this.. I'm 34 and was reliving my high school days while watching this. Certainly would recommend this to anyone who likes to have a laugh and be touched all at the same time.. Get your minds out of the gutter! Lol

[@jamesmoriarty2329]

I saw this movie yesterday. And I loved it as you said it wasn’t about him being gay and he isn’t stereotypical. I laughed a lot and also cried. I think I would have had a better experience if my mom wasn’t with me. During my the movie the audience cheered and at the end there was a huge applause. Which solidified the movie as being great. I also didn’t eat or drink as much during the movie which means I was engaged.

[@jimmybambles]

I thought he would know him from Jurassic world

[@TheBraunMachine2011]

i did too but i think he did when he checked his page on his phone.

I love coming of age stories they are probably my favorite genre i mean movies like youth in revolt, the edge of 17, lady bird, boyhood and not forgetting spiderman homecoming. i dunno why they resonate with me so much can't wait to see this movie. oh and btw just wanted to say u r my favorite movie reviewer

[@mhaze210]

I'm not Gay, and I saw MILK (2008) in the theater 5 times. I was obbsessed with that movie. Every single scene was great and SEAN PENN Won Best Actor that year. It was so good it made me wonder why School never taught me about Harvey Milk. Assassinated for being Gay. I want to see Love, Simon simply as a 'Coming of Age' story which I hear it's really good at. I mean I liked Edge of Seventeen and Lady Bird A LOT and I'm not a girl... so I have a feeling I will enjoy this movie. I hear it almost feels like a John Hughes movie so I definitely want to see it.

[@jimduggan8962]

Hope you've seen it by now.

[@abushenob]

Harvey Milk was not assassinated for being gay. He was a very liberal Councilman. Dan White was a conservative Councilman who often was in opposition to Milk. White resigned his seat and then reconsidered and wanted to be reinstated. Milk, together with Mayor Moscone who was also very liberal were seen (correctly) by White as blocking him regaining his council seat. He over reacted a bit. Milk and Moscone were shot for blocking White's reinstatement, not because he was gay.

[@zeebird]

Just got back from scrolling through the comments and I gotta say, it's SO interesting how some people think that anything that isn't straight, white, or male, is considered "propaganda." Whether it be a movie, video game or otherwise, anything that isn't one or all of those things is propaganda for some people. What a sad world we live in. Amazin movie by the way. Made me cry like a fucking baby. Will, and do, recommend!

[@rg4517rg]

TheAbysslMonsterDog Those people have a hidden agenda. Ignore them. I adored Love, Simon. Seeing it again tomorrow. ☺

[@xy1374]

TheAbysslMonsterDog wow do comments on this video say that? The top comments seem so nice.

[@AlirioAguero2]

The word ''Propaganda'' has been used improperly more often than not these days. What propaganda is - A limited and artificial point of view which is designed to glorify or demonize someone or something based on an agenda. Propaganda doesn't have any counterarguments to the narrative and serves only one purpose. So, in that regard, Love, Simon is definitely not a propaganda movie, since Simon isn't more pure or more innocent than the rest of the characters. If this was a propaganda piece, he would have been a saint, attacked because of how good he is.

[@Hayden_Cat]

TheAbysslMonsterDog those are the type of people that call anyone who supports the lgbt community “libtards” and try to act like we have a secret agenda when they are the ones with the agenda.

[@nms7872]

Who else remembers that kid from Melissa and Joey?

[@BabysitterSky]

BlueNuggetBoy Productions people watched Melissa and Joey?

[@jl8410]

I showed this to my family who are conservative Christians, and they were smiling like 90% of the time and they got pissed when he *spoiler alert* gets outed as being gay. I think it really showed them that this is so much more then just "Oh, he likes guys." No, there is so much more depth to it and this movie did a solid job of capturing that. They really understood that 1.) it's not easy and 2.) coming out is for that person to do; it's his/her life, his/her story.

[@breakingnews2664]

I loved CALL ME BY YOUR NAME, but I think LOVE, SIMON was a more entertaining movie overall.

[@LlamaKing9000]

Malthizar No, no it's not

[@theultimateusukfan]

It is. Call Be By Your Name paints gays as predators because of the AGE GAP in the movie...It's disgusting. Don't watch it.

[@LlamaKing9000]

BriarJay How is it predatory when it would be legal in half of the US?

[@theultimateusukfan]

Legal ages in countries shouldn't matter if there is still a disgusting age gap before someone is 21. Idk why I even have to explain how gross it is.

[@LlamaKing9000]

BriarJay 21 seems like a very arbitrary number when it comes to having a limit. What's wrong with a couple that's 20 and 22?

I realized today that I've been watching your videos since 2012 (although I don't think I had a profile at the time). The first review of yours that I saw was for the first The Expendables movie. The freaking amount of money I've spent on movies that I would never have seen without *that* video of yours that I watched while I was putting off that assignment I was supposed to be writing is... a badge of honour?

I watched this and I cried and sympathized with Simon a lot. Being in highschool is stressful enough, dealing with drama, and being gay on top of it all; it’s a scary, curved road that many teenagers like myself have experienced. It sucks but this movie shows the good stuff too. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows, but it doesn’t have to be utter shit either.

[@jadesmediacorner]

I saw this yesterday with one of my friends and I completely adored it. I had to read the book beforehand because I wanted to know what the book was like and I read it within a few days. It was great and I had my hopes very high for this movie. Unsurprisingly, it met my expectations and went even beyond them. Nick Robinson portrayed the character of Simon beautifully, all of the friends were so loveable (save for the character you said was not redeemable because I totally agree on that and don’t think they were even friends in the first place), everyone acted their parts perfectly, and one specific scene with a character and his mom towards the end had me uncontrollably sobbing. I wholeheartedly loved this movie to bits.

High school movies just don't appeal to me anymore and I'm only ten years removed! Anyhoo, the movie *is* fine and all if likely not a little hokey, but be that as it may, if the movie had more of a Revenge of The Nerds twist to it with the whole underdog usurping the jocks and winning over the (boy) I'd *TOTALLY* be down for some Love, Simon again in the future (even though, he looks more like a Caleb).

simon says: come out of the closet

[@hyperchocobo]

I've watched this movie 8 times now with different groups of friends and i still love it its just omg the feels and jsut seeing the huge happy smiles on everyone's faces lgbt or not after it ends its a wonderful feeling

[@anthonyc4478]

Wasn't about the History of the Simon Says toy, 0/10.

Anthony Cast Lmaooooo

My favorite coming-of-age story is, by far, American Graffiti. Love me some early 60s American youth cruising the strip in their hot rods throughout the night, figuring out what to do with their lives after high school. Timeless classic in my opinion.

[@dega3622]

it was surprisingly good 👏

[@therealmichaelw]

My favorite is probably The Perks of being a wallflower. I highly recommend it

[@zephyr-117sdropzone8]

Far be it from any reviewer to say they hate it. They'd get attacked and killed probably

[@austinm2293]

John-Clement Gallo don’t be dramatic. People love it because it is good 🙄

[@austinm2293]

BlackRose Goku that made 0 sense dude

[@baraness24]

Yes of course. A LGBT movie could NEVER be good on its own merits Its Cuz them damned es-jay-dubbyas would riot if nobody liked it. Its saddens me that people actually think this way.

[@m.a.martin_official]

It's true. You can't say you disagree with anything these days, and not be labeled a homophobe, racist, chauvinist, etc. You're just not allowed to disgree with the masses anymore. Everybody's a bunch a sheep that have to follow the herd.

[@baraness24]

Mark-Anthony Martinez You can't 'disagree' wth homosexuality anymore than you can disagree with the color of a person's skin. So I'm failing to see your point.

[@morzansreddragon]

My favourite recent coming-of-age film is 'Me and Earl and the Dying Girl', in which I'm also looking forward to seeking Olivia Cooke in 'Ready Player One'.

[@cinemacola6398]

I didn't like the movie as much as Edge of Seventeen. It didn't really have that much drama in it. The story just felt by the numbers for the most part. I love the message of Love Is Love, but it felt like his life was so good and so normal except for the fact that he was gay. Am I the only one that sees this. Plus, that ending. SPOILERS! WHY THE FUCK DID EVERYONE HAVE TO BE THERE WITH HIM!? It's supposed to be a moment with him and his significant other, no one else. Why the fuck did everyone have to be there cheering him on? It made no fucking sense and was so unrealistic. I don't like this movie and I have no idea why people like it. Maybe just because there is a gay character, but if you like it l, good for you.

[@garretneal1875]

Personally, from the trailers I expected this movie to be extremely cheesy as many teen romances are, so that ending (and many of the other "by the numbers" parts) was kind of exactly what I wanted. There was definitely a part of me that was like, "is this really something the whole school needs to be there for?" though. I thought this movie was a shining example of a teen romcom, but it's not going to change the game or anything like that.

[@mikeyf2256]

I mean, does he have to have a ridiculously hard life? He's a normal teenager, and for normal teenagers problems with identity can feel larger than life. And I just took everyone being there as a comment on social media culture, with everyone wanting to capture the "awww moment" to post about (maybe I'm reading too much into that)

[@garretneal1875]

Well, they even had that one chick pull her phone out a specifically showed her filming it, so I don't think that is that much of a stretch.

[@cinemacola6398]

Mikey Fine But they even show one person pulling out her phone and the freind telling her to put it away, so that doesn't make much sense. Also, teenagers go through drama on a daily basis no matter what it is. They could have captured that more. It felt too much like a coming of age story I've seen a ton of times that Hollywood produces. It didn't feel natural or in the moment.

[@kyleroberts8823]

This movie isn't similar to edge of Seventeen. Lady bird is a more appropriate film to compare to that.

[@adjewaadjei2031]

I agree with everything you said‼️genuinely this was me the entire time during the movie, I’m glad you agree.

[@professordreadwin7959]

Eh I'm not really into these gay character stories. And this is coming from a bisexual man, i just feel really awkward watching them.

[@darth_kal-el]

I'm ready for the apocalypse liar

[@paytowin9890]

I totally support gay rights but I too feel weird watching them

[@professordreadwin7959]

Darth Kal-El about what

[@ailish2284]

I'm ready for the apocalypse then don’t watch them. Simple as that

[@niemeyerjack]

I'm ready for the apocalypse i know how you feel, i feel the same way about straight character stories, which means that i never see any movies ever because that’s 95% of them

[@cjaddisin]

Love, Simon is a great and important movie. Everyone's coming out story is different , and every coming out story is emotional!!!

[@benzaiten933]

I saw the trailer of this movie and it looked really good. now that Jeremy gave it such a favorable review I might have to watch it in cinema.

[@Schmidteren]

9/10 .. One of the best movies I've seen in a long time. :)
