I just caught the last hour of the film, it was quite sweet, I always wondered what it was like. Did i miss any of Jim from the beginning of the movie ?

[fluffy]

i didn't realise it was on ............but i've got the DVD and he's barely on it at the start...........you see more of him at the end........

why couldnt i love where you were??????? Australia rejects Jim, they show NO movies ...ppffft they only rate liar liar 2-3 stars :@

Simon birch is a sweet film but Jim aint in it much. Im not a huge fan of the film ive only watched it a couple of times and that was ages ago! lol. .. you aint missing much for those of you who aint seen it yet.

I didn't realise Simon Birch was on...but I did catch most of it. Lovely little film. Bit of a tear-jerker in parts.

[Mia]

yep...it's a tear-jerker alright. I've cried almost everytime
I watch it. Jim has such a sweet voice; I'm so glad that he
narrates it, but I wish he would have had a bigger role in
the movie.

I have never seen Simon Birch. Should I get it and watch it? I thought he was just the narrator in it, doe he appear in it as well as like the adult Simon?

[Niobe]

Jim is the adult 'Simon's best friend' who looks back on his life. Not a big role. Most of the film is about them as kids.

Depends what you want really. If you just want to see some Jim.....not a great movie. If you want to watch a lovely little story (with not much Jim)....go see!

[emilystagg]

I think I will try and see it anyway, it seems like a nice story, and a type of film that I would enjoy. Thank you for your help Niobe! Now all I have to do is find it.

[Mia]

Jim appears briefly in the beginning and the end of the movie,
but he narrates the story throughout the film. I wish Jim would
have had a bigger role, but I don't think you can go
wrong by watching this movie at least once; it's really sweet.

[Niobe]

It's a shame you missed it on TV recently in the UK Emily! I'm sure it will be on again at some point. We'll keep our eyes peeled...

[emilystagg]

Thank you, I also will keep my eyes open, you never know when it will be own, or where I will find it. Is it a really sad story?

[Mia]

The ending is really sad, but I don't want to spoil the movie for you.

[emilystagg]

I really want to see it now, I'll have to see if I can order it off the internet. It has been ages since I saw a sad movie. You can sometimes enjoy a good sad movie. Not all the time, but sometimes you need one.
