Her facial and other non-verbal expressions were not cardboard. One might even recall "Abbey Road" as Sam and his entourage of likewise challenged friends traipsed across a street in the same style of the fab four.ĭakota Fanning performed clearly above the requirements of the part. Much of the background music was Beatles songs performed by contemporary artists. Indeed, there was a Beatles theme to the movie. "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" (LSD) is a drug culture song - "tangerine trees", "marmalade skies", "plasticine porters with looking glass ties" - but there was no hint of illegal drug presence or overtones. In a moment of exceptional tenderness as he held the baby in the delivery room, Sam named his baby girl Lucy Diamond Dawson (Dakota Fanning at seven years old) after "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" of the Beatles. Sam sired a baby girl with a homeless woman who was looking for a place to spend the night. To be able to convey such a condition with such attention to detail down to facial muscle, head and appendage movement and style of running cannot be done without sharp, finely tuned talents and impeccable dedication. Penn is anything but mentally challenged. His "theatric crescendos" during emotionally charged episodes of his performance of mentally challenged Sam Dawson tended to make one believe he was actually mentally challenged.

I may be somewhat overly biased about this movie since I am a foster/adoptive parent (24 foster kids, seven adoptions), but Penn's performance was pure and sincere. Sean Penn, the typical beach bum bad guy, does an outstanding and moving job of portraying someone so out of character with his typical style. Let me be subjective for a moment and tell you that other than the language cyanide, I Am Sam is one of the finest pieces of entertainment I have ever seen. Clearly I Am Sam was numerically equivalent to G-rated programming in Sex/Homosexuality, Drugs/Alcohol, and Murder/Suicide, PG in Wanton Violence/Crime, but R-rated programming in Impudence/Hate (which includes foul language) and in Offense to God (which includes the use of His name in vain). If it were not for the language, I Am Sam would have earned a CAP final score of 87, squarely at the bottom of the scoring range (100 to 87 out of 100) earned by G-rated movies in the comparative baseline database.

Little did we suspect there would also be SIX uses of God's name in vain WITH the four letter expletive and five uses without plus five uses of the three/four letter word vocabulary. There was a single use of the most foul of the foul words. Dave predicted it was probably because the writers threw in one which he abbreviated. Dave accurately predicted before the first scene why a movie about a father's struggle to keep his daughter was rated PG-13. This one is for Dave and Peggy, a pleasant couple I met and had a chat with before the show started.
