    A film I'm really fond of, I remember the first tim of watching this, at the beginning I thougt it was going to be a rip off of Rain Man, but Sean Penn made this character his own and the onscreen relationship between him and Dakota was pure chemistry. The story itself makes you ponder the dilemma, whilst also bringing a smile to your face.

    Not sure whether I should be disturbed or intrigued by the awesome acting and almost family made movie feel of some scenes that give this movie an authentic feel. A hidden gem!

    I saw this movie, right after I had seen MurderBall. I Am Sam CBS Sunday Night movie was the worst cut movie, ever shown on TV! Although, very well acted it was everything Murderball was not. Sam appealed on a heartstring tug sentimental basis. The movie is about a developmentally challenged father trying to raise his little girl.

    Beautiful movie. I haven't seen something so great in a long time and the combination of the music made it all the better.
