Simon Birch
“Destiny has big plans for little Simon Birch.”
ComedyDramaFamily
Simon Birch and Joe Wenteworth are boys who have a reputation for being oddballs. Joe never knew his father, and his mother, Rebecca, is keeping her lips sealed no matter how much he protests. Simon, meanwhile, is an 11-year-old dwarf whose outsize personality belies his small stature. Indeed, he often assails the local reverend with thorny theological questions and joins Joe on his quest to find his biological father.
VIBE
A tender, nostalgic journey through childhood friendships and the search for belonging. It captures the earnestness of youth, the sting of loss, and the enduring power of belief, all with a gentle, reflective tone.
