Sean Penn does as well as can be expected with Sam, but it is painful to see an actor of his fire and range locked into a narrow range of emotional and intellectual responses. Since the movie does not believe this, it has a serious disagreement with most of the audience. Sam loves his daughter more than anyone else, and she loves him, but it will take more than love for him to see her through grade school and adolescence and out into the world. The lesson "I Am Sam" wants to teach us is, "All you need is love." This is not quite strictly true. He named his daughter after "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," and has learned most of life's lessons from Beatles songs. Sam loves the Beatles (his favorite is George).
