I Am Sam

Last night I caught the last hour of I Am Sam. It had me bawling like a baby (it might be worth mentioning at this point that I used to cry at Ricki Lake reunions too. Come on, reunited family members in front of a live tv audience with a more 'sensitive' version of the Ricki Lake soundtrack playing in the background - what's not to love?)



The film, in a nutshell, is about a mentally retarded man's (Sam) fight for the custody of his 7 year old daughter. The snippet I watched was both heart breaking and warming - and turned me into a quivering pile of jelly.

Imagine if I had watched the whole thing?
