August 18, 2004 Ms. Dm Hughes 17 out of 17 found this review helpful I am Sam is a film which follows the story of a man with the mental age of a seven year old, as he attempts to regain custody of his own seven year old daughter. This film is beautifully crafted and where sentimental could have become mushy Sean Penn ,Dakota Fanning and the rest of a brilliant cast stop this happening. I think that Sean Penns' portrayal of Sam far outshines similar performances such as Dustin Hoffman in rain man. All in all this is a highly entertaining and enjoyable film , well worth a viewing with an excellent cast. "I am Sam "makes you think! November 17, 2003 14 out of 15 found this review helpful As an ex-social worker and now a Children's Guardian I could not remain unmoved by this movie. It once again points out the power of true and unconditional parental love and how having a learning dissibility does not neccessary disqualify you for being a good parent. It force everybody to look at themselves before casting judgment on somebody else and I urge all social workers to watch this and take into account some of the lessons in this movie before making life altering decisions for children. Also a good movie for children's solicitors. Wow! May 8, 2007 London Girl (Leeds, UK) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful A friend lent me this film and I had to admit, I'd never heard of it and wasn't sure what to expect. I laughed and cried my way through the film. I cannot begin to put into words the fabulous performance of Sean Penn playing an Autistic father with the mental age of 7, you totally believe in him and he should have won an oscar for his portrayal. A brilliant film from the opening credits to the end, a must for anyone's DVD collection!! I AM SAM November 26, 2002 E. Spencer (london England) 8 out of 9 found this review helpful This is such a great film.It has just about everything you could want in a film.Superb acting,great story.You will end up with tears of happiness.I saw this in the cinema,rented the video and bought the DVD. Sublime.... I am Sam-What a film!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! July 7, 2004 Mr. W. Jamil (UK) 11 out of 13 found this review helpful Unbelieveable! One of the best films i have seen ever! i'm a guy and it touched me, truly unbelieveable!!! A very heart touching story about a man with the mental capacity of a 7 year old trying his best to keep his daughter, the only thing he truly understands! I cannot belive the performance by Sean Penn second, probably, only to Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man!!! Michelle Pfeiffer with possibly the performance of her life! I know i'm repeating myself but i've only just finished watching it and i'm still in a state of shock! Absolutely excellent film! I cannot stress it enough, i love this film and i suggest you buy this i know i'm going to as i'm writing this i'm placing my order! I LOVE THIS FILM!!!!!!! BUY THIS FILM!!!
