Surprisingly good film... my only complaint


Penn's character from "I am Sam" comes out about a half dozen times during the film. I may have been the only one to notice it, but I found it very distracting.

Anyone else notice this?

reply

YES!! I noticed this too, especially toward the end, when he was threatening the pilots with the gun, when he was having a hard time reciting the "lines" about how to the fly plane low, etc. Very "I Am Sam"-esque.

I thought I was the only one who picked up on this.

Oh yeah, I saw it immediately. Very irritating.
