I have watched the trailer several times and I also watched a t.v feature on the man whom this story was based on..It looks like a really good movie and a good change from will's usual action flicks.

I watched the movie & I must say great performance by Will Smith, he was something there, plus his son Jaden was good, talking about this little kid doing his first movie.

I liked the music, it was taking us to that time. It was funny some parts, I really laughed!

I just think it was longer than it supposed to be.


4.5/5

I watched the movie today ... It's really pretty good, liked it a lot! .. The story is really lovely, and Jaden Smith just did his first movie perfectly with his father Will Smith. Well done,... I really enjoyed watching it, and would have enjoyed it more if it was a bit longer.

Jaden (?), Will Smith's kid was amazing!! :D He was funny, witty and adorable! An extremely good performance for his first movie. Astounding performance by Will Smith, I could imagine how hard it was for him to film some of those scenes with his actual son.

Two things that pissed the hell out of me were: 1. It was long and got boring towards the end 2. I always thought that the way the guy turned himself into a self-made millionaire would be a crucial part of the movie and I waited and waited for that and to my dismay, all they did was mention a couple of lousy lines about it on the screen after the movie!! :angry:

My Rating: 8.5/10
