Pure good fun--with a warning for those with delicate sensibilities. No violence and all sex merely implied or totally denied! This movie is a mix of "Wonder Years" and "Saturday Night Live." A real hoot with a sensitive side.

Simon Birch was the perfect family movie: a great story of courage and character, skillfully told.

Its sophisticated wit prevented it from being too sappy and a solid screen-play and terrific acting prevented it from being too contrived.

This movie was recommended to me by a 23 yr old woman and by a 17 year old boy. I'm middle-aged. Something for everyone, I'd say! We could use more movies like this one.

I feel really badly that this movie is on the list of worst according to average vote. If you consider that it relies very much on slap-stick humour, which does not appeal to everyone, that might explain its poor showing.

The movie is best compared to "Home Alone." I feel it is by far the better of the two movies. Dennis is wide-eyed and innocent and the slap-stick scenarios are 'accidental' rather than contrived as in "Home Alone."

This is a movie that elderly parents can watch and be guaranteed to have a good time. It is also a movie that kids will love. If those in between can't appreciate it, that speaks a lot for their loss of innocence.
