Will Smith is very good in this. For all the controversy over the Oscar slap, Will Smith actually does act his butt off. The rest of the movie is okay but it could had been trimmed by ten, twenty minutes. To its credit, it does not shy away from depicting Richard Williams' less noble moments as his daughters' chief driving force during their training. It's quite even-handed. Williams was tough on his now-famous daughters because he did love them dearly and wanted them to have a better future.

It sticks to a familiar but pleasurable path, and the result is nothing less than a touching biopic about the unwavering commitment of a loving father.

Will Smith gives an outstanding performance as the titular character, Richard Williams, who has a plan laid out for his daughters, Venus (Saniyya Sidney) and Serena (Demi Singleton), and by sheer force of determination, will and, yes, some self-promotion, will mold them into the tennis stars he has envisioned.

Let's get one thing straight, the Richard Williams in the film is real - as are the things he does for his daughters - but the film doesn't necessarily show the real Richard Williams. As has been pointed out by many, including his own family members, Williams has plenty of issues the film simply decides to gloss over. But this is supposed to be an inspirational family drama, not a downer about a dead-beat dad - so let's focus on the positive here.

What we are given is father …
