Predictable feel-good movie

Rating: 7/10 (31 August 2011)

At the moment I am in a similar situation as the lead character was in this film, so that is why I was interested in this flick. I am about to make a gamble myself and do an internship without pay just to get some work experience under the belt, just like Chris in the film.
Chris had it tough, real tough and has Murphy's law against him as well; when everything can go wrong, well... but with perseverance you can get you a long way. I hoped to get some inspiration from this film, but it didn't really happen for me; mainly because the story was a biography and you kinda know how it is going to end. He is going to get lucky and the many people who didn't, are not in the spotlight and won't get an own movie. Maybe a movie should be made about such a person for a change.
Anyway, I am happy for Chris and I hope I will one day follow his footsteps and be successful just like him. 7/10
