Wonderful!

Rating: 9/10 (25 December 2006)

This movie was real, honest and inspirational. It was well written & well acted. It was a pleasure to see Will Smith in a role with some depth. The story line has weight and although it moves along slowly...it keeps the viewers attention. The character development was a little lacking, as the film mainly focused on Mr. Gardner, leaving the audience to guess at what the other characters were thinking. But maybe that is O.K., maybe we have been spoiled by films that leave absolutely nothing to the imagination. The movie isn't corny, it isn't cheesy, it is a great story with a great message. I walked away from the theater feeling as though anything is possible. It is always nice to come away feeling mentally invigorated. Plain and simple, the movie is GOOD.
