And I think I am sick.

This movie plays like an after-school special or a public service announcement.

Just watching Penn and Fanning interact...is worth wading through the occasionally ankle-deep syrup.

Moving film with great acting seems too contrived.

Sean Penn may be the most gifted actor of his generation.
March 04, 2002
Plays out in such a conventional manner that it feels like a TV movie of the week from the '70s.

Sean Penn gives the most professionally shameful, cruelly wrongheaded performance ever nominated for a Best Actor Oscar, while Jessie Nelson Kristine Johnson's script lives down to Penn's ugly ineptitude with idiotic catchphrases and product placement.

Penn repeatedly hits the ball out of the park, but the rest of the team never gets past first base.

For a movie that probes the sensitive issue of living with reduced mental capacity, are the creators of Bambi the obvious choice?
January 25, 2002
A well-intentioned but ludicrous tale.

On one level, I Am Sam is a crock, but on another, more vital one, it's very, very sweet.
July 20, 2002
It's a sensational performance, and [Penn] illumines a movie that sometimes seems in danger of descending into modish Hollywood political correctness.
