Simon Birch (1998)
A very good, bittersweet film

I have watched the movie twice, once with my wife and once with my children.
It is a great movie and totally undeserving of some of the juvenile comments posted here.
It is a story of a 12 year old extremely undersized boy who is a freak to many, a best friend to another and ends up being a hero. All through the movie he talks of God having a plan for him and that his small stature is a part of that plan.
Don't compare it to the book it is "suggested" from. Neither does justice to the other.
Don't miss it.
