Inspiring

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2006)

I enjoyed this movie. It was a bit slow, but a great performance by the always charming Wil Smith as Chris Gardener, the man who refused to go gently into that good night.
His fight, perseverance, energy, and attitude is completely inpsiring and refreshing. He did not complain, whine or ever say why me. He simply did whatever he had to do to get out of his rotten, miserable situation and turn things around for himself.
I found some of the scenes extremely touching, especially the night he spent in the train station bathroom with his son.
While I did not find this to be Oscar worthy or outstanding in any way I thought it was a touching story of the American Dream and how it's out there for all of us if we want it badly enough.
