I absolutely despised that scene where the boys talked about their parents getting a divorce. This 10-year old boy is crying that his family's relationship will fall apart, and Love Simon's getting mad at him for getting upset over shit kids should be upset and sad over. Love Simon was an asshole throughout the movie, but telling his brother to suck it up like that was fucking disgusting, and it's despicable that part in the script was even approved.
Sony's following the Jumanji route with this one, so if you have a Prime account, and don't have anything planned for June 30, then...see it? I guess?

Now I'm a touch concerned. I thought there would be a bit more of an uptick in ticket sales, but it only went up about 181. Not stagnant, but it should still be doing a bit better.
