4 out of 5 stars Good Movie...    January 7, 2009
Brice181 (Church Point, LA USA)
The movie was very good, but the case was cracked when I received it. The condition of the case did not seem to affect the condition of the DVD, however.


5 out of 5 stars AMAZON Scores Again    January 6, 2009
P. Yavner (Dallas, TX USA)
The DVD was bought for my step-granddaughter, who loves Will Smith anything! That having been said, as always, the performance of TvBoxset and its "work-withs" has been excellent. Better than I would ask or hope for! That's all I can say, and I have said it from the first time I ordered from AMAZON.COM.


5 out of 5 stars Oscar winner    December 29, 2008
Rheadawn Brown (Smyrna, TN USA)
Will Smith should have won an Oscar for his portrayal of Chris Gardner, a divorced homeless man taking care of his son while trying to pursue the American dream of stability, wealth, and happiness. It is always refreshing to watch Will in a movie where there is no need for him to be the so-called tough guy (Independence Day, Men in Black, Hancock).

My husband and I loved this movie when we first saw it so when I saw it for such an awesome price on TvBoxset I had to get it. Delivery was fast and the product was perfect. Thanks so much


4 out of 5 stars Good story, almost old-fashioned    December 17, 2008
John Galt (USA)
I don't quite get tvboxset.com's review of this movie stating it's a "heartwarming film that demonstrates how good, hard-working people can become homeless almost overnight." The film to me was about the complete opposite. Am I missing something here? The film is about how hardworking people can make their dreams come true if they stick with it through hard times. I suppose those brainwashed with marxist anti-Americanism will see this film as proof that American society makes us all homeless and starving to death; while the rest of us will see it as a testement that hard work can get you to places you never thought possible. Will Smith is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors. He's real in almost everything he does. You trust that he feels for the characters he plays; there is no exception to this film. Some of the story was disjointed, but it was fast paced nonetheless. It was one of the few films made recently where you can actually cheer for the protagonist. I reccommend this film. I wish Hollywood made more films like this.
