Will Smith good in one note movie

Rating: 7/10 (9 February 2014)

Chris Gardner (Will Smith) is a struggling traveling salesman who is falling further and further behind. His wife Linda (Thandie Newton) is frustrated and finally leaves him. He gets a job as a stock broker but it's an internship that pays nothing. Eventually, he loses his apartment and they become homeless.
It's a very earnest movie. This is not a movie with laughs. Will Smith is playing a very intense character. Jaden Smith is too young to be anything other than a prop. Will is able to paint a picture of a desperate man trying to stay with his kid. It is however the same note that gets played over and over again. The good news is that he plays that note very well.
