		Nelson shows Sam wide-eyed with wonder at his tiny daughter (nice), but immediately upon leaving the hospital, the mother disappears into the street crowds, never to be heard from again.
		Sam is shown being kept up all night by the crying baby, feeding her, changing her diapers, apparently with only occasional advice from a reclusive neighbor (Diane Wiest).
		When Nelson fills the soundtrack with Beatles songs (peppering the dialogue with references to the lyrics) and then throws in a bunch of lovable dogs as well, it's pretty clear that she knew she was in big trouble.

	DVD Review: I Am Sam
		While "I Am Sam" is a well-meaning piece of work, director Jesse Nelson falls into many of the same traps that lead these films down the wrong path.
		Sam clearly loves his daughter, but he finds himself ill-equipped to to care of her - once she reaches the age of eight, she also has a greater intellectual capacity than her father.
		Destroyed, Sam finds himself on the doorstep of highly regarded attorney Rita Harrison (Michelle Pfeiffer) and begs for her to defend his ability to care for her daughter.

		Sam, the man who will make you cry, is an odd role for the rebel actor Penn, who has never really fostered an image as a softie.

	Frank's Reel Movie Reviews - I Am Sam
		You see, Sam is an adult with the mind of a 7-year-old who has just experienced the birth of his daughter as the product of a one-night stand with a homeless woman.
		I Am Sam makes a compelling argument that love is the most important ingredient in raising a child, and as we learn from Sam, mentally challenged individuals are definitely capable of giving love.
		I Am Sam is a brilliant look at a heartbreaking subject that demands the viewer to examine both sides of the controversy.

		Sam has cared for and raised his daughter since that day, providing her with all the love and caring he is capable of, even though he barely has the intellectual capacity of a seven year old.
		It is becoming increasingly obvious that Lucy is surpassing Sam in the intelligence stakes and this is causing trouble not only at home, but at Lucy's school, where she is holding herself back to not cause further embarrassment to her disabled father.
		She tries to palm Sam off when he first approaches her, but after making a boast to her colleagues that she does accept pro-bono (free of charge) cases, she has to take his fight, lest she lose any credibility she had with her partners.

		I Am Sam (2001) is also mentioned in pearly's review of Man on Fire (2004) and pearly's review of War of the Worlds (2005).
		Sam is built up as a sort of anti-hero, and we cheer him on all the way.
		Firstly, there was the moment where Sam and his lawyer Rita (played by Michelle Pfeiffer) have something nearing a romantic moment (when Sam puts on Rita's husband's suit).

	Flak Magazine: Review of I Am Sam Soundtrack, 01-25-01
		In the case of the soundtrack for I Am Sam, it's better to take it as a given that there is a market for, and even a point to, assembling some more or less critically-lauded artists to tackle a handful of Lennon/McCartney compositions.
		With a rough-hewn croon Thompson delivers the words as emotively as would be expected from a man who has chronicled losing his own mother, albeit in a different way, through his 1998 song "My Mom," a heartbreaking tale of Alzheimer's toll.
		Even with these few risks included, I Am Sam the album is as comfortable as an old brown shoe.

		Sam, a man in his 30's with a mental age of 7 and autistic behavior that will be familiar to viewers of "Rain Man," adores the Fab Four.
		Sam, who works busing tables in a Los Angeles Starbucks, is surrounded by a loving klatch of pals, many of whom have similar disabilities.
		In one scene Sam, disturbed by a change in routine, causes a scene in a restaurant, which allows us to see, through Lucy's eyes, a side of him that is hard to manage.

		Sam loves Lucy, his 7 year old daughter with all he has to offer.
		Similarly the LFE channel was only minimally brought in to play in the soundtrack and this is all that was required of it.
		The soundtrack was also very inspiring with the inclusion of some great Beatles tracks, Black Crowes, and a very impressive score from John Powell.

		Sam and his group of buddies, all of whom suffer from mental handicaps, then search for a lawyer.
		Sam's obsession with the Beatles triggers a soundtrack of Beatles songs covered by such artists as Sheryl Crow, Eddie Vedder, Ben Harper, Ben Folds, the Wallflowers and Sarah McLachlan that mixes nicely with John Powell's idiosyncratic pop score.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: I Am Sam
		Sam is a sweet, good-natured man who earns a living by sweeping up at a local coffee store.
		Sam has learned from television that all the best attorneys have four names, so with the help of his equally mentally disabled friends, they use a phone book to find a long-named, high-powered lawyer (Michelle Pfeiffer) who ends up taking Sam’s case at no charge on a dare.
		Naturally, the Beatles play a prominent role in the soundtrack, but because of rights issues, the music is comprised of contemporary artists doing their own renditions of Beatles classics.

	I Am Sam
		Up to this point, Sam had been raising Lucy by himself with a small support group since Lucy’s mother left as soon as she was discharged from the hospital after giving birth.
		All through this Sam has a hard time trying to figure everything out while Lucy just wants to be with her father.
		Then throw in the bitchy foster mother (Laura Dern from Jurassic Park 3) that wants Sam to stay the hell away from her daughter that she is trying to adopt, and you end up with one sticky legal mess.

	Soundtrack - I Am Sam review
		I guess the producers of this soundtrack didn’t recognize the obvious bad karma inherent in excluding the songs of both Ringo Starr and the late George Harrison from a collection of Beatles covers.
		The movie 'I Am Sam' is one of those projects that uses a sunny exterior to hide a larcenous heart, plundering bits of meaning from popular culture at every turn.
		Sam, Sean Penn’s character in the movie, is obsessed with Beatles music, and the movie’s soundtrack was conceived as the coup de grace of pop culture shoplifting—the actual original recordings of the actual Beatles performing these songs.

	I am Sam (Soundtrack) by John Powell
		I am Sam is a large departure from the style that helped him become so popular in 2001, so it is little wonder that this score has been reacted to with noted disappointment.
		The story of a mentally-challenged man and his plight in keeping custody of his daughter who, by the age of seven, has already surpassed his level of intelligence, affords Powell the opportunity to experiment and explore as Hans Zimmer did for his Academy nominated score of 1988.
		I am Sam is an unconventionally, striking score that features a lead ensemble consisting of guitar, ukulele, cello, bass, and various percussion.

		Sam's obsessive behavior is the least of his problems; his impaired mental capacity no longer surpasses that of his seven year old daughter.
		Sam empties his pockets at the shoe store trying to purchase a sixteen-dollar pair with five bucks.
		The clerk desperately tries to explain that it won't be enough, that's when the cackling crowd of buds reach for a dollar or two each to contribute to Lucy's new shoes.

		Jessie Nelson's poignant tale of a mentally challenged man named Sam (Sean Penn) who recruits a lawyer to help him regain custody of his young daughter leans heavily on the lead character's obsession with Beatles songs, and his innocent trust in their wisdom and emotional truth.
		Michael Penn (brother of "I am Sam" star Sean Penn) and his wife Aimee Mann start things off with a tender, Simon-and-Garfunkle-esque duet of "Two of Us." Sarah McLachlan's "Blackbird" is pretty but doesn't add much to the original, which is probably a good thing.
		I have to admit I have never seen the 2001 movie from which this soundtrack is based, nor do I know the significance of the Beatles music to the characters.

		Quills, Pollock, Requiem For a Dream and Before Night Falls were some of the films that fit this mold last year, and I Am Sam is definitely a contestant in 2001.
		Sam stars Sean Penn (Up at the Villa) as a mentally challenged adult who loses custody of his seven-year-old daughter because of his illness.
		Though it is never explicitly explained, it is inferred the mother was homeless and Sam took her in and, somehow, knocked her up.

	The Popkorn Junkie :: I Am Sam
		When I saw the trailer for "I Am Sam", I was expecting it to be one of the best films of the year.
		The story centers around Sam Dawson, a mentally retarded man who is trying to gain custody of his daughter Lucy (Dakota Fanning).
		Also, there is a beautiful shot of Sam, Lucy, and three of their friends walking across a road very much like Abbey Road, all holding balloons.

		It is the latter that makes covering a Beatles song a daunting task for any artist, for while the songs are so well crafted they are difficult to ruin, their arrangements are so definitive they are just as impossible to improve.
		Seventeen artists approached the soundtrack for the film “I Am Sam” with this in mind, and the result is a combination of interpretations that did justice to the originals without severely altering their arrangements.
		The soundtrack is composed of contemporary covers of Beatles songs by acclaimed artists such as Eddie Vedder, Sheryl Crow and Ben Harper, and is produced by V2 records’ Kate Hyman and John Sidel and the film’s director/co-writer Jessie Nelson.
