Corrected entry: When Sam and the visitors wait for Lucy at her birthday party, Brad is told to switch the light off. He pulls the switch but the light doesn't change. (00:29:55)

I Am Sam (2001)
Corrected entry: Why on earth was the witness stand and, believe it or not, even the judge's desk in the custody hearings decorated with various stuffed teddy bears? (00:54:20)
Correction: The reason why the desk is decorated is because the court deals with children and custody rights. The decorations are there to allow the children to feel comfortable and not to be intimidated by the situation. Even though it is a court room, it has been designed in regards to the childrens' perspective of it.
Correction: I have read somewhere that when children go to court hearings and custody rights and such they are given a stuffed animal after like a teddy bear to make them feel better.

I Am Sam (2001)
Corrected entry: In spite of her agoraphobia Annie makes it to the court alone, but when she is brought back home by Rita and Sam she needs several hours to work up the strength to step out of the car and walk to her door. (01:13:45)
Correction: Not necessarily a mistake. A phobia can be suppressed if the phobic has enough motivation or is under enough pressure of some kind. When the motivation and/or pressure is released, the phobia returns. Often with greater force than ususal.

I Am Sam (2001)
Corrected entry: It is very, very unlikely that Lucy's foster parents wouldn't have found a way to prevent her from climbing down the creepers and toddling over to Sam's place in the wee hours of the morning again and again, thus most probably saving her life under any normal circumstances.

I Am Sam (2001)
Corrected entry: Sam moves into the neighborhood of Lucy's foster home to be closer to her. How does he cough up the money for all the move-related expenses? His lack of funds has been made a point of on several occasions. There is no hint that Rita helped him out, neither does the stage of their relationship at that point suggest that.
Correction: Sam leaves his job at Starbucks to make more money at Pizza Hut. Sam's dog walking business is an additional form of income.

Correction: That's because it's broad daylight outside, and there is a lot of light coming through the windows. There was no need for Brad to switch off any light, but to these mentally challenged people switching off the lights is part of what you're "supposed" to do at a surprise party, and they would not want to do anything wrong.
