Where to Watch Simon
- Christopher KingJanuary 26, 2026Simon has always been one of my favorites from the goofy-movie-beyond-genre genre. It's so silly, but even though Simon himself is a lunatic, he's not wrong. The ending is the only possible outcome for the setup of the beginning. The final, final scene almost makes me cry every time. It's so goofy but it's ending is so heartfelt and moving
