I have lost count of how many times I have seen this film. But, no matter how many times I see it, the scene when Will Smith claps his hands in uncontrollable happiness always brings tears. Tears of happiness. This film makes me happy in a heavy sort of way and gives me ultimate satisfaction. But, it can always be only a pursuit? Can't we ever actually have it ? This is an eternal question.

This has to be rated up there as one of Will Smith's best performances, pairing perfectly with his son, Jaden Smith. It's the kind of film that leaves you at the end of the credits wanting to be a better person.

A really motivating movie with lots of emotional scenes. I hope it will be easier to achieve my goals, especially when it comes to take care of my child. Probably watching the film already made it easier.. well done Mr. Smith.

Me encanta esta película... Muy buena, excelente!!!!

Es una pelicula inspiradora, es una de mis preferidas. Tiene un gran mensaje.

I don't give many films a full on five star, but this is just a stunning film. It tugs at the heartstrings seeing this father try everything - against all the odds - for his son.

I really enjoy this film. I feel it's an inspirational story about how someone can just change their life around.

A Movie Every Year Since I was Born

Movie #22 2006

This was a excellent movie and brilliant performances from both Will Smith and Jaden Smith.

I expected going into this one a tug on the old heart strings but not in a million years did I think this movie would be as harsh and hard to watch as it was.

This is pure raw emotion of a man fighting not just to live everyday and to keep it together for his son, this is a movie of struggle, hardship and how you will do anything to just put a meal on the table.

I'll watch this one again at some point but it will be a long way from today.

Good movie, interesting message, but in some moments the rythym seems to start to slow down, but it's a good movie

It was alright. Maybe It's me being jaded, but I felt the way the message the movie was trying to leave you with was presented in a very heavy handed fashion. Then again, I'm not a big fan of "biographical" style movies about people who are still alive.

A really motivating movie with lots of emotional scenes. I hope it will be easier to achieve my goals, especially when it comes to take care of my child. Probably watching the film already made it easier.. well done Mr. Smith.

A real feel good movie based on a true story. Will Smith and his son Jaden did a perfect job here. After this movie I had to know how to solve a Rubik's cube ;)

It may be a good drama, but it's really forgettable. I can't even remember much from it, only that I saw it and Smith's son was in it.

Decent film, I guess. Will Smith is always fun to watch on screen, but it suffered from a bit of "telling, not showing".
