Narrated by Jim Carrey, Simon Birch tells the story of the smallest kid in town (Smith) who stubbornly persists in thinking big. Along with his best friend Joe (Mazzello), Simon gets into all kinds of trouble—sometimes with tragic consequences. But when the boys set out to discover the identity of Joe’s father, we see what really sets Simon apart from the rest is not his small size, but his inspirational way of looking at life. The idea for the movie came from the novel “A Prayer For Owen Meany” by John Irving.
