Surprisingly Good

Rating: Null/10 (9 February 2005)

What - a Will Smith movie with nothing blowing up? I was all prepared to hate this movie. I mean c'mon, a chick flick with Will Smith? It seems Will Smith can only play one character - himself - but in this one he tones that down and comes across as a real human being.
I was so surprised by this movie. I ended up laughing through the whole thing and came to care for and relate to all the characters.
There was NOTHING about racial stereotypes. It wasn't about a black guy teaching a white guy to dance at all. It was about a bunch of characters who legitimately grow from the first scene to the last.
Take you girlfriend and go!
