Good Sam

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.

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.

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

Many cliches but good story. Acting is good. Is just goes to show everybody leaves a mark on someone's life.

You could be forgiven for thinking there are mainly only 2 camps of reviewers for "Good Sam"..... That is, the haters giving it 1 star, and the others who loved it, giving it 10.

Ok, it was predictable. It wasnt hard to pick who the two main (supposedly mystery) characters were as soon as they appeared.

Yes, the story is typical American style contrivement, but at least it has a positive vibe.

True, the sorts of events depicted here are never likely to transpire in the real world, so im guessing therein lies the main beef of the haters who judge this as "fairy-land" stuff. They have a point.

All those things aside, it was a long film, which at no stage was I tempted to bail out in.

For me, cannot hate on a film that (sort of) promotes human kindness, even if it is wild fiction.

We can live in hope that these Good Sams may exist in some alternate reality.

So yes, you can always find something positive to say about a flick like this.

Being a hater 100% probably shows more what kind of person you really are.
