I was expecting an uplifting, inspiring story. That is not what I watched. 99% of this movie is watching Will Smith’s character deal with one dismal situation after another. Way too depressing and not enough genuine “Happyness” moments…

A movie for our times. A reminder that good times and bad times and all times get over...there is hope in that...and we all could use a big helping of that right now. I have been where the main character has been before in my life. I was…

This movie is wonderful! I am not a fan of Will Smith, but he was great as the dad. It was very touching to see how much he cared for his son and because a real father and son played the parts, I can just imagine that their chemistry…
I did like the movie, but would not recommend getting it from the Chilliwack library, as it skips badly. The worst is when you tell the staff it is scratched, they just put it right back on the shelf. I'm so turned off renting DVD's from…
This one is a gem. Watched this on DVD I rented from Blockbuster back in the day and recently re-watched this again on Netflix before they pulled the movie. This true story was just captivating to look at and you have to admire the…

This movie was very interesting and played with my emotions. I love how it is based off a true story. I have to say this must be one of my favourite movies. This movie shows how much your life can change in an instant. You can be well off…
I love this movie. Very motivating. Appropriate for mature audiences only though because of the "F" word and lots of yelling and screaming at children and spouses. You don't want your kids to treat their kids or spouses as portrayed in…

Pretty dumb. About a guy whose "dream" it is to become a stockbroker, of all things. But first he makes a living selling overpriced, unnecessary medical equipment. Finds Jesus, prays, etc. $$$ Will Smith has no skill. Standard garbage,…
I decided to own this movie and Every time the road get tough I watch it over and over again. There are lots of good lessons to learn from this movie. The first one is perseverance.
