Biopic of the Williams' sister's of tennis and their childhood and in particular their father, Richard Williams (an excellent Oscar worthy performance!) by Will Smith.
Richard Williams is portrayed as an annoying, loving, determined influence on his five daughter's and in particular the tennis talent of Venus and Serena Williams.
I say annoying in a good way. He (Richard) in some scenes just goes over the too and has to be reined in by his wife.
As in all these films I don't know how much h is true such as a crescendo that ends with Venus journey onto the professional tennis tour. Richard also wants to protect his daughter from the influence of dark forces that have ruined the career of other young stars.
Will Smith's performance is good. He battles at all stages the system, in that I mean a white orientated tennis circuit in the USA. The ending shows he (Richard) is ultimately right.
Even for non experts of tennis there are elements of the film that will appeal to everyone. A typical underdog sports film as has been seen so often! In some ways I don't know where else this film could have gone.
