Don't buy into the negative critics

Rating: 8/10 (2 July 2008)

If you don't like Will Smith you won't like this movie. Will Smith has a unique ability in this movie to insult small children, be an overall drunk and an ass to basically everyone he comes in contact with while simultaneously captivating a hopeful audience that he'll eventually "come around".
I was so upset when I heard the pre-release reviews of this movie being terrible but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I found myself enjoying this movie. Its entertaining, its funny and its heartfelt.
There is a twist that most people will probably not see coming but the negative reviews of this movie that say it missed the mark simply don't add up.
Jason Bateman is AWESOME as usual and Charlize Theron cast as his troubled wife was wonderful.
