I Am Sam (2001)

Cast: Sean Penn (Sam Dawson), Michelle Pfeiffer (Rita Harrison), Dakota Fanning (Lucy Diamond Dawson)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's I Am Sam page.

I Am Sam is an incredibly touching story about a mentally retarded man (Sam) fighting for custody of his 7-year-old daughter (Lucy). The cast of this movie could not be better. I hadn't seen Dakota Fanning in anything before this movie, but I'm sure I'll see her in many movies to come. She is one of the most amazing child actors I've ever seen in a movie and from interviews on TV, she seems like a great person, so I'm sure good things will continue to happen in her career.

This movie is about more than just Sam's struggle. While he fights for his daughter, he ends up teaching his lawyer a lot about what is truly important in life. Wonderful messages in this movie. Heart-warming and wonderful!

Grade: B+
