In the midst of the previews for Stranger Than Fiction, a heart warming story about Will Smith and his son came on screen. Will Smith’s character falls on hard times and has to scrape together to make things work for his little family. Even sleeping in a bathroom because they get evicted from their apartment. But then he sees a man pull up in a fancy sportscar on the street and asks him what he does for a living and how he does it. The man replies that he works on Wall Street as a broker. So Will Smith gets an internship to complete the whole rags to riches cycle.
Okay, you know what? Seemed pretty good up to this point, right?
Then they show a scene where he’s in a car with another guy who has a Rubik’s cube. The man is frustrated with the Rubik’s cube. Will Smith says, “I can do that!” The man is incredulous. “Nobody can do that.” “I can do that!” Will Smith then solves the Rubik’s cube in a matter of seconds.
This is when I decided this movie is a piece of crap. In a matter of seconds.
It is also called “Pursuit of Happyness”.
Double Blech. (It is also followed by Will Smith telling his son to don’t let anybody tell you can’t do something. Not anybody. Not even himself(Will Smith). And I presume especially if someone tells you can’t solve a Rubik’s cube. That too, right Will?)
I accidentally solved a Rubik’s Cube once.
i miss loser movie review. we would def go see this for the LMR.
Absolutely, and maybe Santa Clause III
will smith can actually do a rubix cube. he did it on oprah and i read a story about the kid who was hired to teach him. that movie is going to be wonderful and the previews are fantastic
You can easily learn how to solve the rubik’s cube by reading how. I saw that ep of Oprah and Will smith was acting like it was so amazing that he could do it. “You don’t think I can do it?? I can do it!!” Okay douchey, so could anyone who cared to learn how! I think i’m really just annoyed with him because it’s his kid who’s in the movie. He’s letting both his kids become actors. And the one in this movie already seems cocky and he’s like 6. I don’t like the Fresh Prince, okay? Sorry!
i remember that some people would get frustrated and peel of the stickers to ‘solve’ the cube too. i agree, once you learned how to do it it’s no big deal. this movie still might be good but it will be IN SPITE of the cube scene. i wonder like if will smith’s kid stunk in auditions would people tell him?
