Simon Birch (DVD, 1999, Widescreen)

BY FAR THE BEST MOVIE EVER! THE CHARACTERS ARE ENGAGING AND ENDEARING, THE DIALOGUE SMART AND GENUINE, THE CINEMATOGRAPHY BREATH-TAKING AND VIVID.

FROM START TO FINISH, THIS MOVIE WILL HOLD YOUR ATTENTION! YOU’LL LAUGH AND YOU’LL CRY, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, YOU’LL REMEMBER!

SO MANY MOVIES THESE DAYS ARE GOOD, EVEN GREAT, BUT AFTER YOU’VE SEEN IT AND A FEW DAYS PASS, YOU FORGET ALL ABOUT IT. NOT THIS FILM! IT WILL STAY WITH YOU FOREVER! IF YOU ARE NOT MOVED BY THIS MOVIE, GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM, THERE’S SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH YOU!

I loved the story line to this movie. It is very touching and funny and sad all at the same time almost. This is a movie I watched with my grandchildren and they loved it also. I would not recommend it be watched by children to young to understand death. My own are 6 and 8 and seem to love the movie as much as I did. I had watched this movie many years ago and thought I would buy it to share with my family.

This movie proves that friendships and memories can last a lifetime and they both are very important in ones life. This is a great movie period.

Actually 6'9" in real life, former NBA Atlanta Hawk Ian Michael Smith plays the role of his life in this heart-warming tale. Because of the marvels of modern special effects, Smith is transformed into a child that is under three foot tall that belives that God has a plan for him. It's a great story with a wonderful cast, but there are several reasons why this is a great movie for a guy to use to impress a date...

1. Most "chick flicks" have lead characters that are tough for a normal guy to "measure up to". When the leade is a small child that has a disease that limits his size to under 3 foot, even an average guy can be quite attractive in comparision. If you play your cards right, you should be hearing "you're sooo big" before the cloing credits finish rolling.

2. Ashley Judd's character is so beautiful and caring, that you fall in love with her within the first ten minutes of the film. In my opinion, she has never looked better. She will give you an image to use when she is on top of you naked.

3. I actually had a tear in my eye TWICE during this movie. It's never good to start sobbing uncontrolibly in front of a date, but a few tears go a long way into tricking your date that you are sensitive.

4. There's baseball... what guy doesn't like baseball???

In summary, own this movie and trick any woman that you can into watching it with you. It's the best $10.00 you could spend.

The character Simon Birch had more faith than anyone in the story. He set a positive example most adults couldn't come close to matching. Great movie about friendship and compassion. I highly recommend this movie.

It is a sweet story about a little boy that has such great faith when other think he is such a trouble maker. It is a wonderful movie.

Simon Birch is a heartwarming film that gives several lessons in life. I recommend this film to everyone. When I first saw this film, I didn't think it was going to be a good film, but like they say "Don't judge a book by it's cover". This film has become one of my favorite movies. It's about a little boy who, despite of his size, is a big miracle. His parents see him as useless but he is loved by his best friend's family. Watch this film and I bet it you'll love it.

i bought it cause it was really cheap and hard to find locally here in town..........................​.......

I love this movie it was great! the product was great and the movie is a family classic it reminds me of a best friend and what its suppose to be

I never recieved the item. I never recieved the item. I never recieved the item. I never recieved the item. I never recieved the item. I never recieved the item. I never recieved the item.

I love the message that we are all created for a purpose. Also, Simon teaches us to live by faith. A must see.

I love the fact that the movie was brand new and was offered at for sale now. I highly recommend this seller to others, plus the movie was delivered super fast.

The price and shipment time were good. But the packaging was below average. It was PAPER wrapped and sent. Not send in an outer package. So, the DVD case was damaged in shipping. It was meant as a gift, and now I can't give it.

The story is about the courage of a little boy who is definitely like the others. He is irksome to many, ignored by his family, into trouble repeatedly,and his curiosity and intelligence seem to make problems for him. He has one true friend and his mother is the only semblance of what a mother should be like. Fate takes a turn for the worst. His friend seeks his real father and all of this ends with Simon becoming a hero in the community.

Growing up is not easy at any time or for any one. Simon triumphs in spite of all that is against him. His friend finds out the truth which is not what he thought it would be. Simon's friendship, loyalty and courage help to form this young friend's life.

What is life? How to live a meaningful life? This movie make you think and in the process you will be changed.

very good movie and has a great message behind it. It is a great family movie. I liked the fact that the kid that wasnt the most popular or most liked was the hero in the end.

This is a tender warm-hearted story about twoboys friendship that surpasses all obstacles and ends with one becoming a hero. If you like stories that touch your soul you will love Simon Birch!

Great price for one of the best movies ever made.This movie has a message in it that we all need to hear,about having a pourpose in life and why we are here.I reccomend this movie to everyone.

Couldnt find this dvd anywhere, awesome movie! I loved it! The kids also enjoyed it! A+++++++++++++++++

I received the item super quickly! Extremely quick shipment. I would definitely buy from this seller again!

Grab your kleenex box and sit and enjoy. The story line is altruistic. It could be a true story. But the actors were wonderful Ian Michael Smith was wonderful as Simon.
Would like to see him in more movies.

The book by John Irving is one of my faves and of course I was concerned if the movie version would live up to it. Surprisingly enough, it did. I bought this DVD as a gift for a friend's son and another copy for my own collection. I don't purchase many DVD's, it is usually not my thing. But when I do it is because the movie is dear to my heart and something I wish to share with others or watch on my own repeatedly. I am usually a big fan of movies that tell the story of an "underdog" that rises to meet the challenge and show that their unique abilities are more valuable than others might expect. This is one such story...

YOu gotta see this one. The description doesn't do it justice. This is one of those rare movies that's hard to categorize because it's unique - and that's good. It's filled with totally unpredictable surprises. Characters are empathic. Funny, very funny. Also inspiring without being preachy, shows how religion can be hypocritical, though spirituality is true.

Everthing went as expected. the transaction was very easy,and the product that I purchased was exactly what I wanted and in great condition. I will use them again for my movie needs

I bought at the suggestion of a friend who wanted it and I ended up liking it a lot myself. The movie taught me a lot about how to treat people and how we should never judge a book by its cover.
