REVIEW

KING RICHARD WITH WILL SMITH...

First off, let me go on record stating that I have followed Will Smith's career for decades. Even back in the day as a character on Fresh Prince, I found him to be entertaining, engaging, and worth the price of admission. 

And this film continues his legacy of artistic excellence.

In terms of cinematic value, it truly delivers! Named one of the best films of 2021 by the American Film Institute.

King Richard tells the story of Venus and Serena Williams-- how they became tennis legends. Besides having a great story line and talented actors, King Richard is inspirational, well-crafted, and full of take-away value and life lessons.

LESSONS LIKE:

• The importance of having a vision for life and planning accordingly.
• The value of strong family support and traditional values.
• Not backing down in the face of adversity.
• Why balance is key to overall success.
• How to be a good sport.
• How Black folks have excelled even amid major obstacles.

Not to mention, the movie has a nice mix of drama, humor, and interesting facts about the background and challenges of these amazing women.

Additionally, it makes a great family movie or one that today's teachers can incorporate in the classroom as an instructional tool--perhaps for essay writing, pop culture studies, sociology or creative writing.

 

Overall, I would give King Richard **** 4 stars out of 5.

It's the feel good movie of the year.
