This film is a rarity indeed. Over 90percent of the films with black leads are typically cliche (dysfunction, drugs, guns, agenda based). This film actually has a unique story line, and is definitely worth the watch. I don't understand how or who the people are who came in drives to pan such a great film....ignore them and check it out for yourself...you will not be disappointed.

I honestly didn't think I'd like it, but i decided to watch it anyway. Obviously, I'm glad i did because I'm here writing my first review because of it. It's funny, emotionally compelling, & left me with the same sense of satisfaction i have after reading a good book- which is rare, because a movies impression usually fades shortly after the closing scene.

This is a film about a man who has a lot of growing up to do. He is a self centered, short sighted, materialistic person who is given a gift of immense power. And he has very little understanding of how to use this gift in a way that will be of benefit to anyone, including himself. As we observe him use his gift over and over again, we see that this is largely because his understanding of life is deeply lacking. The things he seems to value quickly turn out to have negative consequences that he did not foresee. In real life, learning this lesson is what marks the transition from adolescence to adulthood. In this film, well you will have to decide this for yourself.

This movie had such a good plot and story until one part. I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it but it could've went a different way that could've been more logical. I get the shock factor and the whole bringing out emotion. Well you did that but I just wanted to turn it off halfway through. I did watch it until the end and was even more upset that I didn't turn it off when I wanted to.

Happened upon this movie while scrolling through T*bi, never heard of it before, the brief description sounded good so I started to watch. As with every movie I watch, I logged onto this site to see what the score was. Shocked to see the low score so much so I was going to turn it off, scores that low can't be good. I'm glad I didn't turn it off. I found the movie funny, charming, sad and very sweet: story of a man who is given an incredible, life changing gift. Will he make the right choices with it? I won't go too deep into the story because I don't want to spoil it but the film was touching, the lead actors played well off each other and gave really good performances; the animation of the history of the gift was stunning, colors were amazing. If I could give a recommendation it would be to ignore the scores and watch the film. It really isn't as bad as the reviewers on here are making it out to be.
