Inspiring. Upifting. Full of heart. I loved this movie. Will Smith should be nominated Best Actor at The Oscars and his son Jaden Chritopher Syre Smith - the Academy should make history and award Jaden the youngest actor to be given Best Supporting Actor.

Based on and inspired by a true story, Will Smith plays Chris Gardner. A San Francisco man who goes from being a married husband and father to single father facing eviction and then becoming homeless, landing an unpaid brokerage internship, to becoming a corporate high-rise success finacier.

His struggle is amazing and I felt every challenge he and his son went through. This is a touching movie and I would say one of the best movies of the year. The Father/Son chemistry is so real and natural, it reminded me of every great Father/Son picture including Bill Cosby's Man and Boy and The Courtship of Eddie's Father.

I give this movie a definite "Go See It!" Five Stars.
