Not only does it tell a good story, but we are led through situations that bring both laughter and tears in a very endearing way. I have to say that this film incorporates a lot of the priciples found in the Unity teachings.
#Simon birch movie
I have seen this movie about three times, twice at home and once at church for our "spiritual cinema" night. Simon Birch - A good "Spiritual Cinema" film In summary, own this movie and trick any woman that you can into watching it with you. It's never good to start sobbing uncontrolibly in front of a date, but a few tears go a long way into tricking your date that you are sensitive.Ĥ. I actually had a tear in my eye TWICE during this movie. She will give you an image to use when she is on top of you naked.ģ. In my opinion, she has never looked better. Ashley Judd's c haracter is so beautiful and caring, that you fall in love with her within the first ten minutes of the film. If you play your cards right, you should be hearing "you're sooo big" before the cloing credits finish rolling.Ģ. When the leade is a small child that has a disease that limits his size to under 3 foot, even an average guy can be quite attractive in comparision. Most "chick flicks" have lead characters that are tough for a normal guy to "measure up to". It's a great story with a wonderful cast, but there are several reasons why this is a great movie for a guy to use to impress a date.ġ. Because of the marvels of modern special effects, Smith is transformed into a child that is under three foot tall that belives that God has a plan for him.
