I was especially entranced by Nick Robinson, who I had earlier fallen in crush with watching The Kings of Summer and how he realistically portrayed Simon Spier. Seeing the movie, and the fact that they at least made the book’s “A” plot the “B” plot, I felt better. I won’t give away any more for those of you who have not read the book.

In the novel, the romance is really the “B” or “C plot, just the catalyst for the main storylines. (Much the same way I am dreading seeing Ready, Player One in the theaters, knowing that no matter how good the film is it will never live up to my imagination.) I was especially concerned because all the trailers and advertising were making it out to be an epic love story, which the novel is not. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, so I was cautious going in. I loved the book the movie is allegedly based upon, Simon vs.

I hated the idea of it, then I loved it, now I can acknowledge that it does, in fact, suck. My opinions about Love, Simon by comparison have gone full circle. When we were out in the hall he was like “wait a minute.” And by the time we started the car he was saying “WTF was that piece of shit!?” I think the world record for fastest turnaround with him was Star Trek: Generations, where after the lights came up, he was gushing about how great the movie was.

The more he thinks about a movie, the more likely he is to hate it. You see, movies are like hand grenades for him: they only explode after time has elapsed. I don’t ask him what he thought of a movie until about a week after we see it. I have a running joke about my husband Bryan.
