great movie

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2006)

This is a great movie that has a generous amount of heart and feeling in it. That the movie is based on a true life story only gives it that much more impact. This movie can give you hope that the "american dream" can be realized even against such enormous odds as he faced. This is a movie every family should see. It will lift your spirits. Will Smith does a terrific job of acting, maybe his best ever. He should certainly get an Oscar nomination for his performance. The setting takes place in San Francisco and the Bay Area in general. It reminds us that so many of our big cities have sub-par housing for the poor and needy. This movie also makes you realize the tensions families go through to make ends meet in our modern society. Go see it!
