A great man's tale

Rating: 7/10 (11 March 2007)

OK where do I start first.
This movie is about the story of how Chris Gardner went through hardships, from being homeless to a successful stock broker who is worth millions today.
Will Smith has put some great acting into the film for the part of Chris Gardner. It is a touching tale of how he kept his son beside him, found strength when he has almost nothing else to his name and stood up against all odds that were thrown before him.
The movie was good and inspirational, some parts were funny, some parts were heart wrenching. However the movie lacked in telling the story of how Chris Gardner was treated by his step-father, or how because of that he resolved to end the cycle of abuse that was passed down from father to son. If that was added to the film, it would have been more touching and emphasize on the love he had for his child.
Other than that, great movie!
