Good Sam

A cute movie about a reporter trying to find a secret santa type person to the general public. It feels more like a TV movie, but that doesn't detract from the good feeling it gives. An enjoyable easy watch.

6.3 stars.

I really had a lot of high hopes for this film. When you read the synopsis, it looks like it has a ton of potential. But as while watching, I noticed wasted potential over and over again. Where is the intense drama, I'm not drawn into the mystery of the benefactor, etc. When we find out who the benefactor is, it's anticlimactic at best a failure at worst. It's somewhere in between those. Anyways, it's just another generic film about someone who secretly gives to others, yet in this case, the secret person is not so good as we are led to believe. So I am disappointed at how things turned out. They could've made it better, but they just simply dropped the ball. I have nothing else to say, onto the next.

In this days when we just see a sea of bad news all around us this is one of those movies that makes you feel all warm inside at least for a bit. :)

Well played and well acted story of the good samaritan operating under various guises.

A rom com dealing with altruism, benevolence and kindness: that's definitely rare and reinvigorating! But this story is polluted by a careerist who wrongfully credits himself with the paternity of anonymous and generous gifts (well, until then, it's unfortunately a classic) while the probability that the truth will be revealed, sooner or later, one way or another, is close to 100% (there, it's desperately becoming moronic). In my humble opinion, you may consider this movie as a cheap popcorn romantic comedy with a perfectible script and an atmosphere excessively childish.
