Uuuumm...he lied to them and tried to manipulate his friends. Instead of telling them he was being blackmailed and letting them know what was going on so they could try and help them, he went behind their backs and tried to keep Abby and Nick from being together, which would have made them happy. On top of that, he tried to manipulate Nick further and throw Nick onto Leah, someone he doesn't even like romantically. That's a REALLY crappy thing to do someone you call your friends, so yeah, they kind of have a right to be mad at him. He could have easily have told them what was happening. And don't try to claim he was afraid of them finding out he was gay. He came out to Abby WHILE he was being blackmailed and could have easily told her then. He should have trusted his friends and been honest with them. Yes, I agree they were kind of harsh, but they were hurt and angry. Like Abby said, "I'm not a piece of meat" and that's how Simon treated her and Leah.

Simon needed someone to be there for him, especially after being outed in such a horrendous, embarrassing way, and the fact that his friends chose to just ignore the shit and trauma he went and was still going through wasn't okay.

Definitely read the book! Simon's friends are actual friends there. Abby is pissed for a short time, due to the whole Martin issue, but gets over it pretty quickly. Leah is mad, but not really at Simon. She's mostly projecting her worries that she's becoming obsolete in the friend group since Simon came out to Abby first. Again, it's resolved pretty quickly.

I always enjoy teen coming of age movies where the parents aren’t written as one-note characters. I know they don’t usually get much screen time in these types of movies, so it can be a difficult thing to do well. Simon’s parents had a little complexity to them, which I enjoyed. This was a sweet movie. I also had a problem with his friends. I can understand them being pissed, but I think they should have been considerably more understanding of his plight. Overall though, a really good high school film. 🙂

I didnt like how his friends responded but I appreciate where they were trying to go with it. I just think they jumped the gun. They were trying to show that him being gay was such a small deal that they still held him responsible for lying and the poor choices he made. HOWEVER being gay in this world is still hard. And despite the fact that it should be the same as being straight, it's sadly not. They might be great friends and see it as just a part of him, and not a huge deal, but its still a hard thing in the world to be. And so the message was delivered and not felt.

Yeah. Also the fact they had zero understanding of his position and made it all about them and their problems. Like, she's whining that he didn't notice she loved him, for starters that's on her for not being open about it. Secondly, welcome to the gay world. Unrequited crushes/love interests is practically a rite of passage. Then his other two friends complaining when it's really the same situation. Instead of being open with one another they just pissed around. The worse thing was that they got lied to. Simon got outed to the entire school. For some areas that can be literally life-threatening, and even in the best places it's really hard to deal with. Then when he needed them the most, when he was being embarrassed and bullied in front of everyone for a very specific reason, they did nothing. At the very least that suggests they thought he deserved to be treated like that, to experience discrimination in a really crude and humiliating way. They didn't have to forgive him or not be mad at him anymore, just stand up for him. They're really not great people. For a movie about the subject of being a gay person, it really came across as being extremely tone-death to me.

i kinda understand the friends, he was like "playing" with their lives and their happiness, but on the other hand coming out of the closet is sadly still a scary thing. and add to that being BLACKMAILED ON THAT!! Sure it must have hurt, but you gotta be understanding and make it easier for your friend.. Simon went through the hardest part of all this (the couple of days/weeks after someone tells everybody) all alone. that's shitty, that's when they should have been with him the most...

Literally my entire friend group was so mad about how Simon’s friends besides Abby decided that they were the ones that were the victims even though Simon was the one forcefully outed. Like. They’re horrible friends. Period. I’m not gonna soften it. That’s not what friends do.

His friends definitely should have been more understanding ESPECIALLY Abby. They abandoned him without ever really getting the full story. Surely they had a right to be upset but it took them two months to get together (they make it seem like he kept them apart for a year) and he tried to remedy everyone’s situation when he tried to get his friends together, he knew she liked someone close but he didn’t think it was him. The stress of growing up, school, family, college applications, being closeted, AND BLACKMAILED...it’s a lot and they could’ve been more understanding.

as a lesbian, i relate to simon so much and the fact that his friends only cared about themselves and didnt care that their bestfriend was going through so much more than they could imagine. simon's friends suck and real friends should never do that to a lgbtq+ friend. they should've been by his side as soon as the annoying ass boy published the e-mail LITERALLY taking him out of the closet.

I thought I was the only one who thought of this. Like the f, he's been driving them to school everyday and all.

I never fancied Daniel and wasn’t that big into Harry Potter to be honest very weird and odd but because I grew up with 2 brothers my family were way into the WWE so all my dreams and first crush was John Cena lol but Dan is cool couldn’t have seen anyone else play Harry

Yesss Love, Simon is my favourite movie of all time. The book is amazing too!! Thanks for reviewing it!!💕

IM NOT THE ONLY ONE! he was outed against his will n ppl are mad at HIM????

You don’t understand how fast I clicked on this

I love that he is saying everything I was thinking when I first watched the movie...i was so pissed at martin

"he's like a sexy morpheus from matrix" okay bold of you to assume morpheus isn't already sexy

no matter what happened between simon and his friends, after what happened in the cafeteria they should’ve at least make sure simon was okay

Im so glad that you agree that he needs better friends 😂👌🏼

The scene between Simon and his mom had me in tears sobbing in the movie theater with my friends because coming out with my family was so hard because my parents aren’t homophobic but I was just so scared of them treating me differently. But THE SCENE WITH THE DAD HAD ME SOBBING SO UGLY GREAT MOVIE OMG

I love how protective you are of Simon with his friends. You are an awesome guy. Thank you for this reaction!

My ONLY qualm with this movie was how Simon apologized but his friends never did. Simon wasn't the one who needed to be sorry.

I loved this movie but the ending felt so rushed

JoannaRoadie28 -_- I suppose a lot of romance movies, teen or otherwise, tend to cram a lot into the final act. I’m thinking of the many movies I’ve seen where there’s a voiceover, telling us what happened to certain characters that they didn’t get much screen time etc.

@Matty Bruno Lucas Zenere Salas in my opinion it was really great

FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS THAT HIS FRIENDS SUCKED. I remember watching it with my friend and she told me to calm down when I was yelling about how they sucked and I hope he gets better friends

Him: I’d it just me or do they look like siblings? Me jokingly: are you saying that because they’re bla- oh yeah

Honestly if i was simons friend i would have beaten the shit out of those guys at the canteen ... just saying

I like the fact that Simon was just this completely normal guy that you’d find in any other movie but he just happened to be gay. It made the movie feel so much more real

I love this movie. I love the book more. Both are great though.

Now go read the book, for one friends we’re way more supportive, we got another sister, way different scenes, and just overall better. Movie was good but the book was way better

I do agree that the book was a hundred times better, but I have to say, I didn’t like Leah as much in the book as I did in the movie. She was always so jealous in pretty much every part of the book she was in, and it got to the point where it was pretty insufferable. Anything Abby did, she was always upset about. I’m glad that “Leah On The Offbeat” gave Justice to her character in the books though. It’s almost as if Becky Albertalli made her character to be more like the one in the movie than the one in the first book.

I completely agree, but I do have to say. They movie could have been worse. Most movies from book(s) adaptions are really bad at keeping the feel and character and plots of the book(s) but love Simon, while not 100 percent accurate, it was pretty close and was still really good movie.

@@mateom1691 Yeah!!! I did like Leah's character either. I haven't read Leah of the beat yet, but I never liked that fact that she got so mad and upset at Simon for not coming out to her first. Even thou it's not her choice and the fact that we find out she is bi (in Leah of the beat), so she know how hard it is to come to terms and admit something so huge and scary as coming out. And if she comes out to Any body before simon and dosen't say anything about it, then she is a huge hypocrite!! That's just my opinion, glad to at least know I am not the only person who was a fan of her character!! 👍👍

Most gay people are regular people. And no, there is no dress code or they would have kicked me out the first week.

The friends were so much better in the books, I hated them in the movie. It didn't do them justice

Thanks for being so supportive to the LGBT community! This movie was so relatable in some ways, and I totally agree about his friends being crappy. They had every right to feel exploited, but they allowed Simon to get bullied instead of call out on the person who caused it all. Also, I really should get the audiobook at some point.

In the book this was based off, He didn’t lie to his friends to set Martin up with Abby, and Leah was in love with Nick, and they didn’t alienate him like they did in the movie. Leah gets mad that he came out to Abby first, and Abby is mad for like one chapter that she was like a bargaining chip in the blackmail but she forgives him quickly. And when he finds out Blue is Bram at the carnival it’s actually a pretty private situation.

Yesss i love Love, Simon and i'm so happy you reacted to it 😊

I love this film, I’ve watched it 4 times but yeah Simon definitely deserved better friends. Enjoyed your reaction ☺️

I AM SO HAPPY YOU DECIDED TO REACT TO THIS MOVIE. I love it and I’ve watched it (and read it) way too many times 💖

Yea he deserves better friends.

It’s a Good movie, but the book is so much Better.

lmaooo just subbed!! all your thirteen reason why jokes and editing style is hilarious

Exactly! I was thinking the same since the first time I watched Love, Simon.

THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN SAYING! I rewatched the movie with my friend recently, and mentioned how I don’t like Simon’s friends. She was just like: “Ehh, they’re pretty good. I like them well enough.” NO.

god honestly i'm so glad someone said it. his friends were unsupportive, selfish and completely trash in the movie. i felt so bad for simon, it was hard to watch. they had no right to act that way when they had NO IDEA what he was going through. yeah, simon isn't perfect but did really he have a choice? real friends would've at LEAST bothered viewing it from simon's perspective - outted to the ENTIRE SCHOOL, BLACKMAILED, isolated and publicly humiliated? versus, what, nick and abby taking a long time to get together? that was really unfair to simon, it made me so angry. god. his friends were much better in the book, i'm still bitter about the way they treated him in the movie. ugh.

Something small that really bothered me in the shift from book to movie that you sorta touched on: In the movie Simon is gigantic and obviously stronger than Martin. He very well could have intimidated him or beaten him up (even though he probably wouldn't). In the book Martin is skinny, sure, but he towers over Simon. There is at least one scene where Simon is obviously intimidated by Martin standing over him. It should be a small thing, but it changes their dynamic a good bit.

Sean recognizes just Katherine Langford from 13 Reasons Why and Jennifer Garner as of course Elektra, but here's a random fact: Logan Miller (Martin) and Jennifer Garner both were in Matthew McConaughey's "Womanizer" from 2009, where Logan Miller played the young version of him. Also: Nick Robinson (Simon) is the kid from Jurassic World (2015), Alexandra Shipp (Abby) from X-Men: Apocalypse (2016), Jorge Lendeborg Jr. (Nick) from Bumblebee, Alita: Battle Angel etc. and Josh Duhamel (the father) is Captain Lennox from the Transformers Movies, and he was with Tony Hale (Mr. Worth) in TF5...the more you know!

I still haven't watched this because the book bored me to death. I'm glad you're making a commentary, because based on the other ones you did, we have pretty similar tastes. So thanks for doing this, it really helps me figure out if I should watch this ^^

I so agree with the title of this video - he definitely deserved BETTER FRIENDS.

lmao im here 2 years late but sean spitting FACTS

I agree. his friends took it to a whole other level- his right to come out when and how he wanted trumped their little issues ✌🏽

One of my favorite movies ! and yeaaa I agree he did deserve better friends

I've literally been in his friend's situation before but instead of being trash and butthurt, I realised my friend actually needed my support more than I needed his validation and I stuck around and told him everything was going to be okay. I get so mad everytime because of how selfish they act when he comes out (and not even nicly, the poor kid gets shoved out)

had to subscribe cause i love this movie and book and your commentary is a plus.

trash friends man. idk if i could just forgive them. btw i got hell scared when the creep said he was blue.

I cried the whole time during the second half of the movie....and I'm straight!...

But I remember really enjoying it, and she cried.. Edit: It was a good cry btw. And honestly, looking back though- Simon's friends really were pretty... nnnn. I never felt too good about how they just cut him off like that.

I have never seen your videos this is the first one and dude i literally love you already 🤣🤣🤣 had me laughing like crazy
