Audience Member I liked the movie because it’s based on a true story and it shows how someone with a dream can make it by any means. Also the acting was good and there weren’t many special effects. I would recommend to watch it if you like emotional movies with happy endings, but me personally I liked the movie even tho it’s not type of genre I like. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Audience Member The movie was great! An absolute Must-See! How does Will Smith always make such good movies? Eventhough the movie was old it was still so exciting to watch. We watched it in school and even if the movie wouldnt have been that great it would be still better than having to work. I would definitely recommend the movie because you learn how will smith gets rich and its all based on a true story. Like if you re still a child who goes to school u may think u could also end up like Chris Gardner so its always good to know how u could get out of the situation. The actors acted well and it was all so believable. If there was no happy end the movie wouldve been bad but there was a happy end. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Christian R The movie is based on a real story, which is something that is well portrayed in the movie. Also the acting of Will Smith is very authentic and convincing. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Anthony C The movie is pretty good considering it does not lend to special effects or gratuitous humor, like most Will Smith movies. The overall plot is wholesome and compelling. You feel like you are rooting for Smith's character the Dad to overcome the obstacles. Somehow you know he will, since it's Will Smith right? - The criticism is mostly about whether some situations in the movie are realistic. When they go from having a home to homeless, and Smith is gone most of the time, we wonder about the child and where he is at, Is he in daycare all day? How do they operate on no sleep? For 6 months the child doesn't get sick? If we are to believe the acting, the situations have to make sense. And the whole time Smith is overcoming problems, we wonder if he has any family or friends who could help. I guess they couldn't afford any other actors playing concerned family or friends.. since Smith evidently banked 71.4 million on the movie. Not bad acting, he was actually convincing. The kid did a great job too. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review Vykta W One of Will Smith’s best movies! Heart-felt, inspiring and really displayed his range outside of comedic roles. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Yoosik Ethan O I think this is the best performance Will Smith has ever done. A very real journey in life and difficult to watch at times because his acting is so believable and it is based on true events. I almost forget this is Will Smith, the rich and famous movie star and really feel like I’m really watching Chris Gardner the struggling and at times homeless stockbroker. This film really shows what Will Smith is capable of as an actor as opposed to all the big budget duds like Wild Wild West and Bad Boys 2. Those don’t even compare to this film.
