when they give the oscar to denzel . grant and denzel be an excellent actor and but man be sean penn rob . despite a few plot flaw and and the liberal slant ( so i be conservative . part of that right wing conspiracy ) and this movie be a great watch . i be on the verge of be a parent and the movie allow insight to the struggle we take for grant when it come to parenthood . see it thru the life of sam make it all the more challenging . i love this movie and watch it often ( own it on dvd ) and refer it to others who ask me if i have watch a good movie lately . grant and it be not for everyone and one do have to think about the issue and there be some deciphering of the story . i be personally glad this movie be make and just a happy for it critical success . do sean get any hardware for his performance .
