Summary: A father's love!!!
Comment: This movie was amazing!!! it was so truely sad what will smith's character had to go through to survive, all the pain he must have felt along the way, but he came out on top at the end ad it was great!!!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: horrible condition
Comment: The seller shipped it in poor condition, or it got worse during its trip to my house. The case was crushed and the broken pieces inside scratched the disk and everything was sliding all over the place. I sent it back for a refund.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Certainly inspirational, but possibly a little too focused on money?
Comment: Okay, I may be a teacher for the public education system, but I admittedly have never had to live on the streets. That probably lends some bias to this story as I have never truly desired money as much as the characters here. I do not mock or disregard poverty at all, but it's kind of weird to market a movie based on the struggle for wealth to middle- and upper-class citizens when they are already doing reasonable all right. I guess it's an off sense of morality on my part, but in my case it's weird to see so much focus on material gain.
Even so, this is certainly an admirable story that I feel made a more-than-decent movie that brings a tear and a heart ache to me to watch the suffering of a father and son--both excellent people. I found myself cheering as this common man was able to go against all odds to achieve on Wall Street.
This is a role that is somewhat different from others Will Smith has done, but he and his son did an excellent job. Smith has that character sass and determination that I feel made him perfect for the part.
The true story I feel is even more inspirational. Don't get me wrong, this is a great movie and worthy of its praise. It's just almost patronizing in its way.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Impressive
Comment: I certainly didn't expect such a powerful, moving film. Everything you've read from the other reviewers is true.
If I were to write a "what is it about?" plot summary, I could read that summary and conclude, "nothing I'd want to watch." I'd be very wrong. Again, it is impressive, just like my title says.

Editorial Reviews:

Will Smith stars in the inspirational true story of Chris Gardner, a San Francisco salesman who's struggling to make ends meet. When his girlfriend Linda (Thandie Newton) walks out, Chris is left to raise their 5-year-old son Christopher (Jaden Smith) on his own. Chris' determination finally pays off when he lands an unpaid internship in a brutally competitive stockbroker-training program, where only one in twenty interns will make the cut. But without a salary, Chris and his son are evicted from their apartment and are forced to sleep on the street, in homeless shelters and even behind the locked doors of a metro station bathroom. With self- confidence and the love and trust of his son, Chris Gardner rises above his obstacles to become a Wall Street legend.
