Sean Penn may be the most gifted actor of his generation.

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

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

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.

Plays out in such a conventional manner that it feels like a TV movie of the week from the '70s.

Moving film with great acting seems too contrived.

For a movie that probes the sensitive issue of living with reduced mental capacity, are the creators of Bambi the obvious choice?
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.

And I think I am sick.
March 22, 2002
On one level, I Am Sam is a crock, but on another, more vital one, it's very, very sweet.
January 25, 2002
A well-intentioned but ludicrous tale.

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