A movie that shows how life can be for some people

Rating: 7/10 (7 February 2007)

When it comes to drama movies I am always a bit hesitant! You can be drawn into the story or you just hate what is happening! This movie surprised me! It wasn't melodramatic! It was sincere and showed the truth of poverty in America! It is not always the unemployed who end up on the streets! Most people who live on the streets have jobs and work hard for a living! I think this movie gives a good insight how the world works! The performances are solid! "Will Smith" does a fine job! He convinced me of being a loving father who has to struggle to achieve his goal! I know this story is based on a true story! Therefore it is nice to see that the outcome is so positive! This story shows truth and gives hope! Wonderful movie!
