If you go to the movies to ogle topless young women, Simon is definitely for you. If, on the other hand, you want something more cerebral with your $10 ticket and overpriced snacks, stay clear of this Dutch melodrama.

Eddy Terstall's film is bipolar and ultimately wrenching, but it works if you let it.

Slick packaging and easy ensemble-playing can't mask hoary 'gather round, I'm dying' formula.
