I Am Sam


The movie I want to watch is I Am Sam. Here are some reviews:


Brandt Sponseller from New York City:“...Finally, the film has a great message. Does parenting, or general personal worth, really hinge on intellectual ability and amassed knowledge? I don't think so....Plenty of us had parents who were smart enough but couldn't help us with our geometry homework. Love may not be all you need, but it's definitely one of the major prerequisites.”

sddavis63 (revsdd@gmail.com) from Ontario, Canada:“...The movie weakens in the last little bit, going for the sappy (and highly unrealistic) ending - unrealistic particularly in the way Lucy's foster mother (Laura Dern) ends up handling the situation....”

Ben_Cheshire from Oz:"...Its also a very touching film - the relation between Sam and Lucy (in a remarkable child-star performance from Dakota Fanning, who knew how to relate to Sam from having a relation like him in real life) is one of those special things in moviedom, for me at least...."


I want to watch this movie through I read these reviews! I think I want to be moved. However, one thing I worry is some authors of reviews say this movie is unrealistic. I want to try to watch this movie, check that, and consider what messages this movie has.
