Excellent film, Penn should get an Academy Award!

The most compelling story of a mentally challenged person and his difficulties.

I thought that Sean Penn`s performance was amazing and that little girl will take your breath away. It was one of the best movies I`ve ever seen. It`ll make you laugh; it`ll make you cry and it`ll make you think about how you treat other people. Good job.

A very emotional film. Penn definately deserves an academy award for his performance.

I have worked with developmentally disabled adults for 12 years....I think Sean Penn did an excellent portrayal of this character! It was a very emotional and touching movie....truly believable...worthy of an Oscar!

This was without a doubt the most horrifyingly terrible thing I have ever seen. It was manipulative (although it was a failure at this) and an insult to my intellegence. It is and insult to my five year old brothers intellegence. What`s worse it appropriates beloved Beatles songs and filthies them.

My dad is a projectionist, and throughout my entire life, i`ve probably seen more movies than the average person... I AM SAM was the absolute best movie that I have ever seen! I`ve never seen a movie that was not only so well directed, but had incredible actors/actresses. I`ve never seen a movie that has made me cry as much as I AM SAM... it not only touched my heart, but my soul :) I hope everyone takes the time to see this movie.

I thought it was the best movie I have seen in a long time. It was a real tear-jerker! I loved it! I will definitly see it again, and I am planning on buying it as soon as it comes out on video.

I took my mother to see this Flick - she`s in her mid 70`s and she loved it. This was the second time I`d seen this film and it was as enjoyable as the first time. The remake of the Bealtes tones is great. Bought the CD last night. Highly recommend this film.
