Review of Love, Simon (2018) by Mike C — 09 Mar 2018
It's good to see stories being made about the experiences of gay teens. But this one is typical Hollywood - superficial, clichéd, stereotyped, and saccharine. The cast do a good job of acting their parts, but the script is predictable and superficial.
It does make some good points about cyber-bullying. There's a warmth that is endearing but it's clearly made for an American teen demographic. Jon Frosch, of The Hollywood Reporter, describes it as '.
.. an expertly carved chunk of cheese.' Pretty accurate.
