Topic: Movie - I Am Sam

Anyone else seen this film. From what I've seen so far it's bloody awesome. Also gotta say Michelle Pfeiffer is an absolute honey.

Sam Dawson has the mental capacity of a 7-year-old. He works at a Starbucks and is obsessed with the Beatles. He has a daughter with a homeless woman; she abandons them as soon as they leave the hospital. He names his daughter Lucy Diamond (after the Beatles song), and raises her. But as she reaches age 7 herself, Sam's limitations start to become a problem at school; she's intentionally holding back to avoid looking smarter than him. The authorities take her away, and Sam shames high-priced lawyer Rita Harrison into taking his case pro bono. In the process, he teaches her a great deal about love, and whether it's really all you need.

Hmmm. Ok, so wtf just happened to my post. Missed out putting in a set of commas and now it wont let me edit. Moving right along...

I ripped that review straight from Internet Movie Database because I would've ruined it if I tried it myself. So yeah, if you get a chance check it out.

The movie rocks. Sean Penn puts in an absolute f***ing awesome performance, which I guess is why he was nominated for a Best Actor award for it. Sif he isn't better in this than Denzel Washington was in Training Day.

And yes, it is a pretty sad story/movie, but it rocks.

if you didn't think the oscars were a sham, you will once you've seen this film. Sean is amazing.

If you go to see this film because everyone is raving about it, you will be disapointed. It's a lame story about a guy that's retarded and got a kid.

Hey Necra. What cinema do you go to that seems to be sold out all the time? Last time I remember not being able to get tickets was when ET was first released.
