Very Inspiring Film

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2006)

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Will and his son did a fabulous job. I was really touched by the underlined encouragement not to give up despite any trials one faces. This movie has encouraged me to continue as a college student. I have faced my own trials and tribulations since returning back to school as a 30-year-old. I thought the director did a great job as well. Everyone should see this movie, especially those who are struggling to be happy and need the reminder that "you are not alone". Chris Gardener's story shows that some of the people we see that are successful have not gotten where they are because it was easy. The movie highlights the fact that we can make the choice, though difficult, not to let our negative past and present circumstances determine the outcome of our future.
