I AM SAM

i am sam is a film I discovered when I was still at school. It is directed by Jessie Nelson and has a stunning performance by Sean Penn and Dakota Fanning. It is a heart wrenching story which definitely gets you emotional.
Sean Penn plays a mentally retarded man, and Dakota Fanning plays his daughter. The Story shows his struggle to keep custody of his 7 year old daughter at an age where she is beginning to be able to read and do things with more capability then he is.
Its tag line is 'love is all you need'. It is a fantastic film, one of my favorites.
