This funny and tender drama was a huge success both in terms of box office and in changing the conversation and familiar tropes of the high school drama, so long dominated by the now dated John Hughes 1980’s titles.
As one of the first mainstream teen films centred on boy meets boy, it does not shy from highlighting the efforts Simon will go to conceal his sexuality. Things change when he falls for a blogger who comes out online and they start to email. Once the class bully finds Simon’s emails and threatens blackmail, he knows it won’t be long before everyone knows the truth.
