Great history

In what I like to call the "Madonna days" I loathed Sean Penn, Then came "I Am Sam". Stellar performance of life with disabilities. Penn is unbelievably talented, his ability to literally become a role is unfathomable!
The movie to me was SLOW and quite boring in many periods. However, the end of the movie makes it worth the wait. I feel movies such as this, or "The Boy in PJ's" all teen's should be forced to see, as they have no clue what life was like prior to them having everything handed over to them on a silver platter. I don't know what we call this generation of kids but I'll quote a friend "The Entitlement Generation." Movies like this will give them an emotional tie to learning what it was like prior to their spoiled existence

I find it amusing anyone who'd say they were shocked by anything in this movie, ie language etc. Hello people, what does rated R mean to you!?!
The stars did an excellent job of vocals to replica the original singers. An excellent job portraying what it was like back in the day in the biz with booze, drugs and an endless supply of loose ladies who'd sleep with a rock star (not much has changed)... Loved to learn the total history behind the labels name and how it came about. Beyonce did do an excellent job in her role and kudos girl, dang that was fine fine singing, I thought I was listening to Etta James wow amazing! Would have loved to have more of Chuck Berry in the mix. This story was very good, I'd recommend for all to see.
