Ratings and reviews

"IF YOU FAIL TO PLAN, YOU PLAN TO FAIL".......Really love that quote cuz it's in our everyday lives. This movie is true to the core and very well directed, missed lots of events but nailed the spotlights. Will Smith performances is over the top in this movie...does so well with dialogues and the way he carried himself....his plan is what most parents will fail to follow cuz of circumstances. Jon Bernthal on the other hand was also exceptional....his reactions when decisions don't go his way.

He win an Oscar for this!? He deserved on for Ali or even Pursuit of Happyness but not for this one and not when they we're more deserving actors of the award. The plot was the same as we've seen before. The rest of the cast was good but nothing award worthy.

Better than expected. Not a fan of Richard in real life so Im surprised how much I liked this movie. Will Smith did a very good job in this role.
