A Fifty Hankie Weepie
By Clare156 from York , 09 Dec 2003[Highly rated reviewer]
This was the saddest film I have ever seen, but very very enjoyable! The acting was superb - Sean Penn was every inch a man with learning difficulties. The actors playing his friends were a mixture of actors with special needs and those without, all acting superbly.
"I Am Sam" had very funny moments, extremely touching moments and lots of tearful moments. It is a film that shows that love and perseverance conquers all.- Was this review helpful to you?

(134)Kramer vs Sean Penn
By Bobsview (549 reviews) from Gloucestershire , 13 Mar 2013Court battle to restore adorable daughter taken into care to retarded father. Relationship develops between lawyer and father. A sort of Kramer vs Kramer redone with a retarded father and a young girl as adorable as Matilda. A good film, sensitively handled although a tad unnecessarily long.- Was this review helpful to you?

Or; I am not sure what I am?
By Platospupil (195 reviews) , 12 Mar 2013Mixed. Yes, this film has heart and good intentions and; Yes Sean Penn remains one of my favourite actors taking on roles and films which have message and meaning. But, the film is a muddle. Tipping between red-eye blubbing sentimentality and comic humour it does not seem to know who is good and who is bad. 'OK' you may say, 'life is like that and here art mirrors life'. OK I mutter back but surely they could remember the medium is film? Worthy, I am glad it exists but I did not like it.- Was this review helpful to you?

Strawberry Fields forever.....
By a customer , 20 Jan 2013A wonderful film (even more so if you have kids I would suggest), with great acting by Sean Penn.
Whilst a big fan of Michelle Pfieffer she performed better in the second part of the film than the first.
Lucy (daughter) is spectacularly good for one so young.- Was this review helpful to you?

An outstanding performance by Sean Penn, one you won't want to miss!
By Jaime-Eve (1 review) , 26 Nov 2012This film, one of the best I have see in a very long time, tackles a very difficult subject matter and is handled with absolute sensitivity. Sean Penn deserves the highest recognition for his portrayal of Sam, a man with a learning disability who finds himself battling for custody of his 7 year old daughter after having raised her to this point honorably and on his own. It's a tear jerker for sure - make sure you keep those tissues within arms reach! Well worth watching, don't miss it!- Was this review helpful to you?

Sean Penn is amazing!
By a customer , 10 Oct 2012I loved this film. Was heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. Sean Penn's performance was flawless and the film had me in tears several times, but it is most definitely worth the watch. Uplifting and sincere...if you have a box of tissues to hand, then watch this film!!!- Was this review helpful to you?
