This film is intentionally spelled wrong, it is explained why in the movie but I'm not going to ruin that for you. I prefer when Will Smith does non action roles because this is where I feel he truly shines and shows how wonderful an actor he really is.
The movie follows the real-life struggles of Chris Gardner (Will Smith) and documents his rather extreme problems he faces at achieving success after a bad investment actually results in him being penniless and homeless for nearly a year. Not only does he have the face the difficulties of losing everything but he also has his young son with him. I was unaware the film was a true story until the very end, and that, in my mind, makes the story even more impactful.
It is a wonderful motivator about how people should never give up, despite the level of hardship they may face and it also shows how horrible people can be towards those who are a bit downtrodden.
The movie also features the now bat-s**t crazy Jaden Smith playing Garnder's son in the movie. Jaden actually does a very good job in this and he would go on later to make one other decent film before descending into celebrity madness at a much younger-than-normal age.
This movies is a tear-jerker and I believe it to be one of Will's best performances ever. It is also one of Jaden's best, but that isn't saying near as much.
