About The Movie
Description
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.

Indeed, he often assails the local reverend with thorny theological questions and joins Joe on his quest to find his biological father.
