Good but nothing special

Rating: 6/10 (4 September 2009)

This is an OK film. I suggest a good family film to watch. Will Smith does a nice job of the main character and there are some nice weepy moments. The little boy is also good and pulls at the heart strings here and there.
The story keeps going at an enjoyable pace with some twist and turns to keep it interesting. I thought the design and shooting was a little bland but this film is set in a big city so not much you can do with the mood.
I give this a thumbs up if you are looking for a film to sit and watch with a group of friends or family. But a thumbs down if you want something a bit more arty or challenging plot.
