    Somewhat of a huge commercial for Staburcks (super duper obvious product placement) but Sean Penn delivers a good performance and Dakota Fanning was sweet too.

    Many lines or actions by Sean Penn's character Sam are improvised, for example the end of the scene at the new restaurant where Sam shouts "Ask Big Bob!", or the dog-scene. The producers liked many of these improvised scenes much better than the original book.

    Although critics hated this film, i loved it! Sean Penn doees an amazing, believable job with an equally good performance from Dakota Fanning (i don't say that often, as shes usually whiney!)
    This is a warm hearted film with a story inside the story. Sean Penn helps Michelle Pf...( read more)eiffer and other people that love is all you need (perhaps cheesy?) but i loved it!!

    great acting especially by Sean Penn. It's a bit weird he actually had sex, since he's mentally like a 7 years old kid

    I can see the point of "people" hating this film because it makes us believe that Sam is the best guardian for Lucy but in reality, it is actually not, but it is what the film is all about, making us believe that he is the one. If ever the film will be revised in the other way, I...( read more) think from 34% it will go to 0%. There is the lesson of believing in what a person can do. If we believe that Sam cannot be her guardian it will give us a negative vibe about the film but if we see ways as Sam does, it will give us the feeling of lightness and happiness. Leaving my inner sentiments about the film, I think Sean Penn and his friends (in the film) did the best jobs. One of the best set of cast ever existed in the history of history. They are all great (Fanning, Wiest, Pfeiffer etc.) Watch it :D

    A bit of a marmite film - some seem to hate this film and some seem to love it. I think I fall into the second catagory. I did cry and I loved Sean Penn's performance. Overall a brilliant film.

    Moving human story for all of us to learn about the good things we have in life. Or if you want, just watch this because of Sean Penn and little Dakota Fanning.

  • September 2, 2009
    This is a great movie, from a not-so-great man. While Sean Penn in my mind is one of those "Amer-ca haters" in the liberal media who choose to spit on the same country that made them a star, he is undeniably a great acting talent, and this is a good story.
