Title: A commendable display of acting ability!
Review: I Am Sam is an emotional movie that tugs at your heart strings. It would be difficult to watch Sam Dawson struggle with simple daily activities and not shed a tear or two. We watch helplessly as Sam's abilities as a father are put on the line, and as he struggles to answer complicated questions that even the most experienced parent will not be able to answer.Another point worth noting is the commendable effort the actors and actresses in this movie put on. But of course, Sean Penn deserves most of this praise because it is not easy to play a mentally retarded character with such conviction.I highly recommend this movie, if not for the great storyline then for the accurate insight it gives us into the complicated yet interesting lives of mentally retarded people.
