I saw the interview on 20/20, I think, with the guy that the movie is about. It's a pretty inspiring story.

I'm not that inspired to see this because of Will Smith and his goofball acting, but then again I said the same thing nearly ten years ago about Jim Carrey when Truman Show came out ...

I'd agree in pretty much every case except this one. I'm curious.

Saw this last night after coming home. This is a GREAT movie. Yeah, it's typical Will Smith acting, but the story is really heartfelt. Every 2 seconds, he's getting screwed over. His level of perseverance is out of this world.

Definitely worth the download. :thumbsup:

watching this movie was kind of like eating a fudgsicle dredged in sugar, then candied.
heartstring-tugging claptrap.

It was alright. Will Smith's acting was good.
