Christmas Love

Will Smith at his best, and to be in a movie with his son, brings out the best in both of them. A real great movie.

This movie was heavy, full of emotional upheaval as you, the viewer, take on some of the enormous burden this man carried. The upside is that he perseveres, and reaches his "happyness," but after all he'd been through, it would've been a better ending to see him more IN that state of happiness and success, instead of just having the film end. The cake was great, but it would've been better with icing. Still, an inspiring story! He pressed on long after others would've called it quits. AMAZING testament to the human spirit and really just a great DAD! The world needs more Chris Gardners!

This was a great movie to show how hard working people can actually get somewhere in this world. Made me thankful for the things I have that I take for granted! I loved that the father/son relationship seemed so genuine because they are father/son in real life!

Finally, a movie that is down to earth, everyday life, and something we can connect with. This movies described my very life. Everyday we struggle to "Make it". If we don't give up, we will get there, if we give up, then we get nowhere! GREAT actors! GREAT story! PERFECT timing! And the ending seemed to put me back together again!!! I left feeling that if Will Smith can make it through all those hard times, then surely I can! One of my favorite movies. Can watch again and again!!!!

This movie was great! Great story, great lesson, & very good acting. I thought Will Smith & his son did a fantastic job of portraying a single father down on his luck.

While watching the above movie, it would pause off and on throughout the movie. I tried gently cleaning it, but that didn't help. I suggest you take that copy out of circulation

It was ok, but I expected the movie to go further in the story than it did. I felt like it only told 1/2 the story.
