Will Smith did a great job as the father trying to protect his son from their circumstances of becoming homeless as much as he can, while at the same time trying to work in the competitive world of stocks as an un-paid intern. Jaden Smith was outstanding as the preschool-aged kid who knows things are going wrong and tries to have a stiff upper lip, but just can't do it all the time. The story is very touching and was close to home for me. My family has been through some tough times, and this movie just reminded me of how much my parents struggled to provide for our family and yet kept life fun as much as they could. I am excited to go see this with my parents as a way to say thank you.
BASED ON A TRUE STORY. ABOUT A MAN NEAR TO RAGS, REALIZES HES POTENTIAL, AND MAKES A FORTUNE. STARING WILL SMITH AND SON WHO DOES NOT SAY MUCH, BUT IS A GOOD ACTOR FOR A 5 YEAR OLD WHEN TALKS. SET IN THE 80S GOOD BACKGROUND, YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF WORK WENT INTO THE MAKING OF THIS FILM. WILLS FINANCES HIT ROCK BOTTOM BEFORE FINDING AN APPRENTICESHIP AS A STOCKBROKER. THEN GO ON TO MAKE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. BIT OVER THE TOP IN PLACES. I AM NOT A WILL SMITH FAN BUT ENJOYED THIS FILM.
Based on a true story, the film centres on salesman Chris Gardner (Will smith) and his son Christopher (Jaden Smith, Will's son). It tells how they hit rock bottom and then start digging a hole, as Chris tries to make a better life for himself and his son after his wife walks out and financial ruin is looming. Very well acted by all but a very predictable "American dream" story that at times is a little slow moving but well worth watching.
I like the movie, thats why decided to buy it. the price encouraged me to buy it. i did not like that the DVD is for rental and this not nice to people have a movies and documentaries rack Like me.
This film is amazing. The way will smith portayed a guy that went through hell and back. In the end he succeeded. 'Never give up on your dreams and hopes' Watch this film if you believe that!!! Very inspiring!!
