This Pfriday, we're talking about the pros and pitfalls of parenting as seen through the eyes of the characters in I AM SAM, the 2001 drama that was probably never meant to be watched from a 2021 perspective. We've got our Starbucks firmly in hand and we have multiple points to cover for this case: is La Pfeiffer's "biggest" moment as the marshmallow-popping Rita actually her best, the breakout star turn of eight-year old Dakota Fanning, why we love Dianne Wiest, a declaration of a certain nemesis of the pod, as well as the packed and ever-changing landscape of the Supporting Actress awards field in 2001.
