So, the film goes back in time to the mid Fifties-early Sixties to tell the story of Simon Birch and his friendship with Joe. Bookending the film, an adult Joe Wentworth ( Jim Carrey) comes to a grave and narrates a story about a boy that he remembers fondly from his childhood. Thinking that nobody would be able to turn his novel into a film, Irving suggested the name Simon Birch and certain elements of the book’s plot were changed, but still the film states that it is ‘suggested’ by Irving’s novel. Simon Birch is a film directed by Mark Steven Johnson and based on the book ‘ A Prayer for Owen Meany’ by John Irving. Joe and Simon loved being outdoors, having fun and talking about girls Simon was also born with stunted growth, but despite this he still does everything an able-bodied child would do – just try and stop him. They do everything together, they go swimming, they play at each other’s houses and they spend a lot of their time talking about girls just like any other twelve-year-old boys. Joe Wentworth ( Joseph Mazzello) and Simon Birch ( Ian Michael Smith) are best friends. Occasionally though, a person will pop into your head that you haven’t thought about in years and all the good memories will come flooding back. However, not all friendships last, people move away, they argue or they just meet other friends, leaving one behind. Often, they may find that they share the same sense of humour and from there, the more they talk to each other then they find they have a lot in common. Most times, children find some things in common with each other such as a toy they both like to play with or a television show that they both like watching. When we’re kids it can be difficult to open up to new people and come out of your shell to show who you really are. Most people had a best friend when they were at school, whether that friendship lasted or made an impact on their lives is a different matter.
