I must be getting jaded, because I didn't find this film as inspiring or heartwarming or great as many other people did. It's the story of people living their lives. We all have our stories. We all have tragedy and death in our lives, we all have joy. I learned nothing from the movie, I felt nothing I haven't felt in my own life. But I guess people looking for a good cry would enjoy it.
I did really, really like one thing about the film, though; Eddie Murphy's performance. It was nice to see him tone it down for once. Plus he showed some acting chops too, able to express emotion with no or few words. I'd like to see more of the same from him.
9 stars for him, 5 stars for a stereotypical script = 7 stars overall.
