It is also one of Jaden's best, but that isn't saying near as much. This movies is a tear-jerker and I believe it to be one of Will's best performances ever. Jaden actually does a very good job in this and he would go on later to make one other decent film before descending into celebrity madness at a much younger-than-normal age. The movie also features the now bat-s**t crazy Jaden Smith playing Garnder's son in the movie. It is a wonderful motivator about how people should never give up, despite the level of hardship they may face and it also shows how horrible people can be towards those who are a bit downtrodden. I was unaware the film was a true story until the very end, and that, in my mind, makes the story even more impactful. Not only does he have the face the difficulties of losing everything but he also has his young son with him. The movie follows the real-life struggles of Chris Gardner (Will Smith) and documents his rather extreme problems he faces at achieving success after a bad investment actually results in him being penniless and homeless for nearly a year. I prefer when Will Smith does non action roles because this is where I feel he truly shines and shows how wonderful an actor he really is. ''If there is pain, there is life and if there is life, there is hope.'' Don't miss that fantastic film.This film is intentionally spelled wrong, it is explained why in the movie but I'm not going to ruin that for you. Altough the story seems depressing, its message is really inspiring. Chris and his little son are determined to stay alive.At the end, they manage to survive. They live on the streets and sleep in subway stations.They never give up stuggling in spite of difficulties.
