Tearjerker wannabe inspirational something

Rating: Null/10 (13 November 2008)

Supposedly based on actual events, the movie follows Chris road to success, beginning with him laying beat up on the floor of life, and up to his unbelievable challenge to the title, and finally his victory. The Underdog story, it seems, remains one of modern culture's most treasured dreams to cling on, in the face of uncertainty and class system, man is left with glancing at idols, and dreaming of unrealistic schemes and turn of events that would catapult him into social stratosphere.
Here's the latest, in which a true story of hardship, but also chance, is being transformed, with aid of puppy eyes Smith, into a wannabe inspirational tale of self made success.
But a miracle is an improbable exception which underlines the impossibility of it occurring. In an age of religion loss, here comes a new belief: we can all become millionaires, but most of all, we should all dream of that. And by doing so, we can empathize with the main character. By sharing his hopes and dreams.
Oh, what an emotional ride that will be...
