Smith carries script with ease

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2007)

I was worried when I saw the previews for this movie. That isn't to say I didn't think the movie looked to be awesome, but I was worried about a one man script. Would Will Smith be able to handle being almost the only character for most of the movie? Would he deliver solo lines convincingly without another actor to play off of? YES!!! He completely exceeded my expectations like I wouldn't have imagined. He portrayed multiple emotions in one go with no trouble at all, putting this performance up there with the likes of Tom Hanks in Castaway. His one real relationship in the movie with his dog, Sam, was touching. He managed to portray a possibly cheesy aspect of this film with real heart. He treated Sam as an actress, not an animal, which made all the difference. Amazing job!
