This movie makes me cry. I love it! It shows that anything is possible if you put you're mind into it and work hard.

It shows that if you try you will overcome your jouney but the thin is that it is a sad movie with lots of pressure it shows life in a bad way also

Based on a True Story
It is good and Will Smith is a great actor! So is his son.

Excellent and Inspiring Movie
This movie is inspiring. It gives hope to those struggling, and shows the wonderful relationship between a father and son. I also like the message of showing a strong father figure, as usually it's the mother who is the strong figure in movies. Superbly acted by Will Smith, and a must see.

Kept me reaching for the tissues...
I love this film, it is really good but really sad. There is one use of f***, and a couple of uses of other language that your average parent would not want their child using but it is still really good.

It Was Okay.
This was definitely a tear jerker for emotional people. It was pretty pointless with the f word on the wall. The sad thing is is that the movie is based on a true story. It was okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great.

I love Will Smith.
It's a good movie. Sad, uplifting, but not true to life. It may be based on a true story, but it isn't close to what really happened.

e.g. Perfect for older kids, but not for tweens
I enjoyed this movie. It followed the true hard story of a real man. I also liked how Will Smith was cased as the role. They need to make more movies like this in my opion, it grabbes me in and takes me for a ride in my own home.

Very moving, and extremely sad until the end
This movie really made me cry! It was very touching and movie, with some mild profanity. It also teaches people a lesson on how fortunate they really are, and you should appreciate what you have.

Best Movie Ever, even for 12 year olds.
Ok. There is a little bad language, but this is an amazing movie that portrays life at it's low. The characters in this movie struggle to survive, but they perservere. This is probably the best movie I've ever seen; and I'm only 12!

I bet they gave this movie twelve and up 'cause of the great messages. I personally think its not too bad since the grafitti only says 'fuc-' and you can only see some of the K. When the little kid says the F-word, you can't really understand it. Some kids may find living homeless disturbing, but my six year old sister watched this and she was fine with it (she just had a hard time understanding the story... but what the heck, she's six!). Very good movie, I reccomend it!
