This was a great movie that really makes you feel good. Although it is frustrating to watch Gardner's character go through all of the "learning lessons" he has to, it is so well done and is a story almost any normal (i.e., non-wealthy, non-'Hollywood star') person can identify with and feel compassion for. What an impressive man! Life can be hard, and he made it much harder than he needed to. But that often happens in true stories, and he learned what he needed to learn in the process, which is the real point of the movie. What a fantastic job Will Smith did, and Jaden is so cute you could just eat him up! (No, not literally!!) I was so impressed I had to see this one more than once.
