At this point I've seen this movie about 12 times and it's just amazing. Being a gay man myself I never thought I'd see a mainstream release like this in my lifetime. I remember the first couple times I saw this the film audience went bonkers clapping and I was just in tears. Yes I'm kind of a wuss but this story feels so personal to me and to see a realistic, positive representation still blows me away. Especially since the film was a modest hit and more films haven't been made. The movie centers on a young man named Simon played by an impressive Nick Robertson who's outed by a jerk off classmate and has to deal with the repacutions including the fellow student he's mysteriously been messaging with. It ranks up there with the best of John Hughes. Its genuine, heartfelt and engaging. Truly one of the best films of its kind ever made.
