Ratings and reviews

I liked the underlying concepts shared in this film however feel the acting was of poor quality and not believable. Of course the story was warped in attempt to make it more entertaining that it probably was. I believe the story could have been better portrayed and therefore not a big fan of it. The ending of this film was super average and premature.

This was such a good performance by Will Smith. He perfectly encapsulated the complicated character that is Richard and mastered the nuances in his emotions. I'm in awe.

I was very fond of this movie. Very inspirational and could ideally help people to understand how important it is to work to achieve your dream and never to give up, even you get more nos than yesses.
