Will Smith did a great job as the father trying to protect his son from their circumstances of becoming homeless as much as he can, while at the same time trying to work in the competitive world of stocks as an un-paid intern. Jaden Smith was outstanding as the preschool-aged kid who knows things are going wrong and tries to have a stiff upper lip, but just can't do it all the time.
The story is very touching and was close to home for me. My family has been through some tough times, and this movie just reminded me of how much my parents struggled to provide for our family and yet kept life fun as much as they could. I am excited to go see this with my parents as a way to say thank you.

Based on a true story, the film centres on salesman Chris Gardner (Will smith) and his son Christopher (Jaden Smith, Will's son). It tells how they hit rock bottom and then start digging a hole, as Chris tries to make a better life for himself and his son after his wife walks out and financial ruin is looming.
Very well acted by all but a very predictable "American dream" story that at times is a little slow moving but well worth watching.
