This is Will Smith at his best. This is a true to life biography of "The Greatest" Ali. There are a few moments in this film that could come across as iffy, but they are there to show what really happened to Ali. (Sorry for the short review) 4 out of 5

What Parents Need to Know
About Ali
Parents need to know that in addition to brutal fight scenes, the movie includes a character who is a drug addict, drinking and smoking, a sexual situation and sexual references (including adultery), and some strong language. The issue of racial and religious intolerance is forthrightly presented.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the conflict Ali faced when he was drafted. How did he decide what to do? How did he stay true to himself? What was the biggest challenge? When his wife told him not to trust the fight promoters who "talk black, act white, and think green," who was right?
