Simon Birch and Joe Wenteworth are boys who have a reputation for being oddballs. Joe never knew his father, and his mother, Rebecca, is keeping her lips sealed no matter how much he protests. Simon, meanwhile, is an 11-year-old dwarf whose outsize personality belies his small stature. Indeed, he often assails the local reverend with thorny theological questions and joins Joe on his quest to find his biological father.
Simon Birch is a 1998 comedy-drama about two misfit boys—Joe, searching for his absent father, and Simon, a charismatic 11-year-old dwarf with big questions about faith and life. This heartfelt family film follows their unlikely friendship as they embark on an adventure to uncover the truth about Joe's parentage while challenging everything they thought they knew.
