I absolutley loved this movie. I cried almost the whole way thru...so have some tissues ready. It really makes you see that anything is possible if you want it bad enough. Will Smith is awesome as usual. I will be buying it when it comes out on DVD.

Great movie for all ages. Very heartwarming story that shows you should never give up your dream, even when you think it might be nearly impossible to achieve. Great acting all the way around.

This movie was adorable. I'm not much of a Will Smith fan, but was highly impressed with his performance with this role. His son was adorable as well. This movie teaches a valuble lesson that we should all give everything our all, and as long as we do that we can always rise above.

I didn't find it slow as some others mention. I found it real. Having struggled alot in my life... often you wonder if things will ever change... if you're fighting a losing battle but something within pushes you on... through the painful and mundane. These "slow" parts as they call it are the most real parts of this mans struggle. I guess I can see how people who never really had to fight their way through life would get lost in the trivality of these parts, but for those of us who can relate.... you will find nothing slow or trivial about this movie. An inspiration to anyone whose ever had to struggle to accomplish a goal.......

It was really good, but it didn’t capture my emotions like I thought it would. The movie spent to much time on him chasing after his lost x-ray machines, like it was trying to fill time to make the movie longer. It should have focused more on his past and how he got to that point in his life also on his future and how all his hard worked paid off. I will be reading the book next to get a better understanding of his stuggle.

This movie is a deliberate attempt to NOT promote the Black women and Black male as a union, it is filled with trick bags that aims to replace the single Black mother with the SINGLE Black father, which still promotes a fragmented family. This is not an honest movie. Learn more at: www.BlackMediaReview.com
