I loved this movie

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2007)

As someone with a very strong relationship with his father, I feel this truly captured the relationship between father and son in a way most movies fail to do. The last time this has been captured so well was in Big Fish (which I thought was the best film of 2003). This Will Smith's best film to date, and probably his best acting performance ever. I love its references to Thomas Jefferson, in a narration sequence I truly found fascinating. There are some scenes that made me feel as though I was on the brink of tears. It reminded me of why I want to be a father someday. This is one of the best movies of the year, and shame on IMDb for its meek 7.4.
