Summary: Like watching your parents make out.
That's What I Am is a movie that dares you not to like it. I bravely accept. It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it. The ideal audience member for this film is someone who simply has never seen a film before. If that person is you, by all means, dig in. For the rest of us, this unyieldingly saccharine coming-of-age romp is packed to the brim with all too familiar characters -- the inspiring teacher who might be gay (Ed Harris), the awkward misunderstood outcast (Alexander Walters), the dream girl (Mia Rose Frampton... yes, that Frampton), and my personal favorite, the Bully Family, where all the rotten apples don't fall far from the rotten tree.
