Love, Simon

Love, Simon
20th Century Fox
March 26, 2018
Dramedy?
DVD
C-

While I recognize the good intentions of this, I don't know if it was the very upper-middle-class-trying-to-pass-itself-off-as-average feel or what (I mean, in one sequence the high school looks like an indoor mall!), but I personally didn't find this believable or relatable.  And I say that as someone who was a closeted bisexual teen in the '80s.  This movie is based on Becky Albertalli's novel Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda, which I read a couple years ago and might've given a C+.  Greg Berlanti directed.
