I Am Sam is Penn claiming the title of being an actor, and it aches to encounter such a talent go waste by on something so fatuous. In I AM SAM, Sam Dawson (Sean Penn), a mentally challenged man who wipes the tables at Starbucks, decides to fight for custody of his daughter, Lucy (Dakota. Penn is the only high point of the feature as it elevates the momentum as much as he can. The screenwriter and director Nelson not only possess sloppy writing skills with incoherent forcibly imputed sequences but also lacks execution skills which is demoted by its confused camera work. The background score is pointless with immature camera work and daft and questionable cinematography. As much as brilliant Penn is, Pfeiffer couldn't be more distracted whilst Fanning shows some promising skills. Penn's riveting performance is genuinely moving, to a point where it carries off the entire tale on merit and makes it worth surviving for the viewers. The primary reason why it doesn't work is its futile constant knack for drawing out a chuckle and its shallow script that it surfs through the entire feature. The screenplay is so naive and inedible that viewers cringe on seat as the makers attempt to attain a closure of their self-created destructive bubble. As it ages on screen, there is neither sincerity, mannerism and maturity in script to breed any aspects of the feature appropriately. The plot track wanders in without any whatsoever connection or logic and visits pointless places for more than two hours. As much as honest and pathos its ideology is, the methods that it adapts to draw in the emotions out from the viewers is pure manipulation. Armed with such potential and considerably explored by the filmmakers in many ways, it offers expectations with such huge cast.
