Director : Jessie Nelson
Running Time : 133 mins
Sam Dawson (Penn) is mentally challenged, with the IQ of an average seven year-old. He is literally left holding the baby and manages to bring up his daughter Lucy Diamond (Fanning) pretty much on his own, but as Lucy starts to progress through school the authorities question his ability to give her the upbringing she needs, so he calls on the help of lawyer Rita Harrison Williams (Pfeiffer) to prove that he can care for his daughter better than anyone else.
Sean Penn is extremely good in this role, even though many have cited that he is a little over the top. Personally I think her was spot on, and with Dakota Fanning in an early role for support they make a likeable screen pair. Pfeiffer rounds off the main cast with a seemingly purposefully underwhelming performance that allows Penn to stand out and shine.
