What did you think?


I actually thought it was quite a stirring movie, although i found parts of will smiths portrayl a little too sterile for my tastes. Chris Gardner what an inspiration

If it's real depressing, I won't watch it. For one, I don't like crying in public- believe me, I can cry! Another- I wear contact lenses, and they'll only float off into the corners of my eyes...

Oh, I'll probably wind up renting it when it comes out on video. Thanks for the warning!

Think my tearducts must be defunct - dry eyes the whole way through. Although the guy went through a lot and I commend his courage; that film just isn't for me. Fell asleep at the end......says it all doesn't it???!

The film itself did tend to drag out somewhat, and the ending, well you know what was coming, one good thing is that it didn't get too clichey if you know wha I mean. I did cry at the end, but what can I say, I cried whten ET went home, so I guess that doesn't say much. ;)

Like I said, I might rent it. I also cried at the end of ET when I was 6. So maybe it isn't as big of a tear- jerker as it appears... I just don't like long, drawn out movies, either. It's a toss- up. I guess it's either rent it, or watch it on a movie channel.
