Good Sam

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

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.

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.

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.
