Will Smith was fantastic in this movie. It was very emotional. The language wasn't that bad; it's probably more of an adult or mature teen movie based on it's plot. But it was a very well done movie.

We saw this last night and we loved it! My husband and i saw it first together as we usually do to make sure a movie is alright to let our kids watch later on. This movie is alright for kids 10 and up. I think it might be boring a bit for any kids younger than that. This is a very good movie based on a real life experience. Will Smith does an incredible job as does his son Jadin. I think because he was able to have his son in this movie it was easier for Will Smith to really put himself out there emotionally. You can really feel the emotion and are rooting for his character all the way thru the movie. The ending (i wont give it away too much) had the tears flowing, tears of happiness of course. I recommend this movie to everyone who loves movies that have a real storyline and leave you with a good feeling. This movie is worth taking the time to see. Will Smith is an incredible actor and the real person whom this film was made around must be proud :)

Despite the fact that I usually prefer Comedy > Drama any day, this was the best movie ever!

I like CSM reviews but I found this one angry. You can critcize this for the limited dialogue and simplistic story, but it is a good story, one that has any number of good elements for kid viewing. I don't really see the need to develop a parallel conversation for the mom. She isn't dissed by the dad, her ordeal is well illustrated. Similarly, I don't see the need to drag out the standard racial/economic inequality issues as a template into which to fit this story. These issues are reasonably obvious to the viewer, and the presciption for a problem can be decided upon individually, not preached. That would have made the story less compelling for all.

Overall this was a great movie. The F-word was used few times. I really was upset when the five year old boy said it. I also didn't like the part where the father told his son to "Shut Up!" The above are my personal feels, I really enjoyed this movie overall. It got me thinking of how life could be without a home.

This is a movie of being in the worst situation and overcoming them at all costs for a loved one. This movie represents not giving up no matter what situation your in.
