About This Movie

Simon Birch is a 1998 comedy and drama film directed by Mark Steven Johnson. Its leading cast includes Ian Michael Smith, Joseph Mazzello and Ashley Judd. It runs for 1 hour 54 minutes.

Synopsis

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.
