Good Sam

Well acted and charming movie without being overly sappy. I enjoyed it.

Good Sam is an extremely appealing, unassuming TV movie which doesn't offer any art, but does bring a simple and happy and enjoyable story.

It's not the best acting in the world but it's certainly good enough. It doesn't try to be anything it isn't: it knows it's place as an early evening, TV movie that's easy to watch but leaves you with a glow. A bit like Emily in Paris but with more depth.

The parts are all played competently and I never felt bored or condescended to. Also, unlike me, I watched it all in one go with a cuppa.

If what you want is an enjoyable easy watch for a simple evening, this is your go to film.

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.
