Very rarely does a movie come along which makes you want to cry as well as smile at the same time. This movie does that and so much more. Aided by a soulful performance by Will Smith, this movie tugs your heart strings from the very first scene and refuses to let go. The scene you remember long after the movie is done and dusted is the one in which Will Smith convinces his son that they have travelled through time, reaching the age of the dinosaurs and the only way to escape them is to sleep in the bathroom of the subway station. Truly memorable stuff, watch it on that lazy Sunday afternoon when a feel good movie is the need of the hour.
