Love, Simon (2018 Greg Berlanti)

Bland, PC and PG gay romcom. Nick Robinson doesn't know how to come out, enters into online correspondence with mysterious 'Blu'.

Enlivened to some extent by OTT Vice Principal Tony Hale.

Oh, this is what young people do these days: 'Drink too much iced coffee, watch bad nineties films, hang out in Waffle House and eat way too many carbs.' Well, these young people, anyway. It's depressing. What they should be doing is drinking too much vodka, watching good nineties films (if there are any*), hanging out in comic shops and smoking way too many spliffs. And having sex.

* Yes there are: Out of Sight, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, Groundhog Day, Husbands and Wives, Fargo, Before Sunrise, Pulp Fiction, The Silence of the Lambs, Short Cuts.
