5.0 out of 5 stars All you need is love., 18 Aug 2004
By Ms. Dm Hughes "dawniee" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: I Am Sam [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars "I am Sam "makes you think!, 17 Nov 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: I Am Sam [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, 8 May 2007
This review is from: I Am Sam [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
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!!
