i believe "i am Sam" was a moving, and emotionally touching movie which took the viewer on an emotional rollercoaster ride. It was beautifully played by sean penn and the support system between sam, his friends and rita grew throughout the movie.... the issue of love vs abaility is portrayed wonderfully...... it questions the viewer... is ability needed to love????

I AM SAM was a very sad and funny movie. It`s a very sad movie with a happy ending. Sean Penn`s acting as a mentally challenged person touched my heart. I cried about 3 times in this movie, laughed a few times in this movie, and enjoyed it all the way. It shows that you don`t have to have intellegence to raise a child, all you have to have is just love. Sean Penn should definetly win an oscar award

I bought a copy of I Am Sam, and have watched it many times!! The acting was PERFECTION, not to mention Sam`s friends.(they all displayed personality traits that made them loveable to an audience!!) Sam, Rita, and Lucy were a work of art!!!! The music was blended perfectly!!! This movie was the next "TITANIC"!!!!! A must see for all ages!!!!
