In 1981, Chris Gardner was a struggling salesman in little needed medical bone density scanners while his wife toiled in double shifts to support the family including their young son, Christopher. In the face of this difficult life, Chris has the desperate inspiration to try for a stockbroker internship where one in twenty has a chance of a lucrative full time career. Even when his wife leaves him because of this choice, Chris clings to this dream with his son even when the odds become more daunting by the day. Together, father and son struggle through homelessness, jail time, tax seizure and the overall punishing despair in a quest that would make Gardner a respected millionaire.

Very enjoyable movie with great performance by Will Smith, based on a true story it is quite moving. Success against the odds story.

Pretty good in an American smultzy sort of way. Still worth th ewatch to see how someone makes it by struggling through the "system" - I just wonder how he would go in the current US financial crisi.
