Simon Birch

Watched: 3/21/09
With: myself
Year: 1998
Reason for watching: Netflix
Opinion: A really good decent movie. I was a little surprised. It's heartfelt. If you hear that it is completely based on a John Irving novel, disregard it. The screenplay was influenced but not based on John Irving's novel.
