Love Simon! I am in love with this movie!

4. I thought the two school adults were great (but I am not a teacher).

I believe the Vice Principal was intended to be groan inducing but I thought he was depicted how teenagers sometimes see authority figures who are not their parents. He was played for comic relief and I thought he was great.

As for Ms. Albright, the exasperated drama teacher, I loved her. In fact, I wanted more scenes with her. I hope there are outtakes or deleted scenes with her on the blu-ray.

One thing I think the film captured exceptionally well was Simon’s nervous, single-minded anticipation while waiting for Blue’s emails and his tranquility while writing and conversing via email with Blue. Those were terrific and universal moments of young, first love.

I remember thinking the film seemed kind of lame when I first saw the trailer a couple of months ago. Then last week I noticed the film was receiving some great reviews so I decided to check it out. The film was outstanding. I am glad I gave it a chance.
