"Destiny has big plans for little Simon Birch."
Simon Birch is the smallest baby ever born and according to doctors it is a miracle that he survived the first hours, days and weeks of his life. This makes Simon sure that God has predestined him for great deeds. His best friend Joe Wenteworth also has a mission: to discover the identity of his real father. After the death of Joe's mother, Simon and Joe go in search of the core of their existence: for one it is his future, for the other his origin.

A touching film with a sad ending indeed. Beautifully played by Ian Michael Smith. The other actors also do a good job.

Beautiful film in which a very special boy is convinced that everything happens for a reason. An original story with a warm and nostalgic atmosphere. Funny and moving, but often also overly sentimental. The film looks good and the actors are also doing a great job, with Ian Michael Smith perfectly cast in the title role.

A beautiful dramedy about a special friendship between a deformed boy and a teenager. A film without false sentiments. The high-performance cast, led by the always cheerful Simon Birch (Ian Michael Smith), gives you a good feeling.
