Not so happy.

Rating: 7/10 (9 December 2006)

This movie's tough to watch. It's well done and it's vaguely realistic (it *is* based on a true story), and it's a pleasure to see Will Smith on screen with his actual son, who's very cute. But it gets pretty hairy in the middle - so depressing that even the expected payoff at the end doesn't seem worth it, somehow. It's not really a tearjerker - just more of a downer.
There are, however, very funny moments, with the typical Will Smith humor.
And yes, the misspelling of the title is deliberate, and addressed in the movie.
