Rating: 8 out of 10, I know this is
getting absolutely scoured by the critics. I don’t understand the vitriol since
this movie is worth seeing simply for the assembly of actors if nothing else. A
lot of the critics seem to think it’s too “sappy” and since I’m a sucker for a sentimental
story maybe my opinion is explainable. Will Smith is a tower of pain as a
father who lost his daughter and his once promising life is spiraling into
disaster. His friends/co-workers come up with a hair brained scheme to jolt him
back into reality after reading letters he composed to time, love, and death.
There were two very distinct and well set up twists that I’m going to have to
re-watch for missed clues. I really liked the movie and its message of hope in
the even the most desperate lives.
MVP: Smith as the long suffering
father Howard
