Simon Ratings & Reviews
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...smug and mostly intolerable...
Newsday
Joseph Gelmis
"Simon" is a thinking person's comedy. Its defects are trivial.
Fresno Bee
Michael McKeever
"Simon" is not a very good film. As a matter of fact, it's a rather bad film.
Orlando Sentinel
Sumner Rand
It's all wildly wacky, and Brickman's screenplay takes aim at and neatly punctures many over-blown aspects of modem-day American life.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Perry Stewart
Brickman has given us a very nice piece of whimsy. And his star, Alan Arkin, turns out to be the perfect launching pad for Brickman's barbs.
San Francisco Examiner
Jeanne Miller
Though his film is seriously flawed, Briekman shows a gift for perceptive social comment, lively urban humor and a sardonic sense of the idiocies of the modern world.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
The result, alas, is neither a funny nor insightful film. In fact, "Simon" is a scattershot mess.
Detroit Free Press
Jack Mathews
Despite its weaknesses in pacing and its evolution from sly intellectual humor to pretty standard slapstick, Brickman's coming out party hits a lot of nice notes...
Los Angeles Times
Charles Champlin
While "Simon" is much better in parts than as a whole, it is nevertheless a debut at a very high level, sleek, zany and assured.
New York Daily News
Kathleen Carroll
"Simon" is probably one of those unfortunate movies that seems hilarious on paper, but doesn't begin to work on the screen. It just isn't funny.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
There are enough ingenious gags and plot twists in "Simon" to keep you laughing for more than 90 minutes, and that's more than most movies can offer.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Too bad the rest of the film wasn't as funny as its absurd premise.
Washington Post
Gary Arnold
Littered with a kind of cheap shot humor that inflicts only flesh wounds on the sitting ducks of mass culture.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
Simon is propelled by a witty screenplay and the energetic brio of Alan Arkin in the lead role.

The direction of the story is anyone's guess
