forgettable, but a good movie, 8 July 2003
6/10
Author: colinwhitefan

Josh and S.A.M. is probably one of the most best forgotten movies of the 90's. A pair of brothers Josh (Jacob Tierney) and Sam (Noah Fleiss) hit the road after their parents announce their pending divorce. Josh tells Sam that he is a "S.A.M." that is going to be sent to Africa to fight in a war and that Canada is a safe place for any S.A.M. unwilling to fight, they encounter many things along the way to Canada as they realize life at home wasn't that bad. This movie is better than the rating it got, it was actually very entertaining.
