Knowing that Will Smith is in my Top 5 Actors list, I had high expectations for this movie. I was fascinated by the picture the trailers painted, an anti-hero who goes around saving lives while drinking too much and never shaving, starring Will Smith…what’s not to like?
107 minutes of probably one of the saddest and most depressing movies I have ever seen…followed by 10 minutes of pure joy and satisfaction that made all of the 107 minutes worth it. Will Smith delivers, yet again, one of his defining performances in this heartfelt story about a Dad’s total and desperate pursuit of happiness for him and his son, played by Will Smith’s real life son Jaden.
