I Am Sam
USA 2002, 127 minutes
Dir. Jesse Nelson
Rating: [M]
Genres: Drama
Aroview: High-calibre acting from Sean Penn, as a retarded man fighting to retain custody of his 8-year old daughter, distinguishes this intense tearjerker.
Chiefly a legal showdown between welfare-services, who do not believe Penn can provide the necessary parenting, and the tactics of cynical lawyer Michelle Pfeiffer.

5 stars (Exceptional) A definite tear-jerker, this is superb acting from Sean Penn and young Dakota Fanning. A semi-legal story, heart-warming (and breaking) drama, and a great Beatles soundtrack. ~Tom H
3 stars (Good Enough) Succeeds despite formulaic, syrupy Hollywood script. Stellar performances by Sean Penn and by child actor Dakota Fanning. Good soundtrack. ~TE901
