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.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Good Movie... Comment: The movie was very good, but the case was cracked when I received it. The condition of the case did not seem to affect the condition of the DVD, however. Customer Rating: Summary: AMAZON Scores Again Comment: The DVD was bought for my step-granddaughter, who loves Will Smith anything! That having been said, as always, the performance of Amazon and its "work-withs" has been excellent. Better than I would ask or hope for! That's all I can say, and I have said it from the first time I ordered from AMAZON.COM. Customer Rating: Summary: Oscar winner Comment: Will Smith should have won an Oscar for his portrayal of Chris Gardner, a divorced homeless man taking care of his son while trying to pursue the American dream of stability, wealth, and happiness. It is always refreshing to watch Will in a movie where there is no need for him to be the so-called tough guy (Independence Day, Men in Black, Hancock). Customer Rating: Summary: Student Mom Comment: My husband and I loved this movie when we first saw it so when I saw it for such an awesome price on Amazon I had to get it. Delivery was fast and the product was perfect. Thanks so much Customer Rating: Summary: Good story, almost old-fashioned Comment: I don't quite get amazon.com's review of this movie stating it's a "heartwarming film that demonstrates how good, hard-working people can become homeless almost overnight." The film to me was about the complete opposite. Am I missing something here? The film is about how hardworking people can make their dreams come true if they stick with it through hard times. I suppose those brainwashed with marxist anti-Americanism will see this film as proof that American society makes us all homeless and starving to death; while the rest of us will see it as a testement that hard work can get you to places you never thought possible. Will Smith is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors. He's real in almost everything he does. You trust that he feels for the characters he plays; there is no exception to this film. Some of the story was disjointed, but it was fast paced nonetheless. It was one of the few films made recently where you can actually cheer for the protagonist. I reccommend this film. I wish Hollywood made more films like this. More Reviews
