From: movies, games and videos Category: Art Date: 16 January 2007 Time: 04:31 PM Review: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Gardner based on a true story... I love Will Smith films, the feel-good ones. I've grown up with WS and he feels like family. Hitch was good, and this is similarly very digestible entertainment. Feel-great movies. Smith has charm and presence. Interestingly he is sort of post-racial. You get no hint that one of the difficulties our hero might face is racism. Must have been. Haven't read the book. The plot is very straight forward and inspiring. This is how it should be.
