Review of Love, Simon (2018) by Ohnomrbill — 25 Mar 2018

Liked this movie, mostly. it was slow to rise yet did eventually rise with added conflict. the first part of the movie was boring and not as funny as some of the reviews would suggest. but once it rose it was a very nice experience and the music helped a great deal.

I had no idea the younger sister had anything to do with food, not until the end but I missed the first 5 minutes. the biggest problem for me was the end of the film. the whole thing with riding the ferris wheel and waiting to see if the mystery lover showed up was too corny for me.

maybe because I am older and it was meant for a younger audience. yet the biggest problem in the movie was that the guy who was blackmailing Simon suffered no repercussions. Simon's friends were more mad at Simon and for good reason yet never seemed to get mad at the other guy.

at the end of the film they were making it seem the blackmailer was almost an ok guy, really? I am sure he would do the same thing again and again and at the next opportunity. that left a bad feeling for me.

I liked the film yet, no one was accountable for anything in the end.
