This unsettling movie will produce desrvedly great reviews for Will Smith and his son but I choked on the sickening plot that saw a man willing to sacrifice his family`s health and welfare to a gruelling, disheartening, saddening six-month non-paying indenturment scheme obviously designed to produce great profits with almost zero remunderation to the apprentices.

-depressing movie up to the last few minutes - I go to the movies to get a `rush`, laugh, thrill, and the occasional tear/sadness - the latter emotion dominated the entire movie - would like to have enjoyed his life after success had been achieved! -great acting but poor storyline for me! 3 out of 5

Very inspiring movie. Will Smith was so great. And so was his son. It was sad, funny, and happy at the same time. I loved it. Totally Oscar worthy.

This movie had a beautiful story. It was somewhat slow in parts but the movie as a whole sent out a very touching message. I find that it was either a love it or hate it movie because of everyones different tastes in movies. I would definately reccomend seeing this if you enjoy very touching movies without much violence
