Not for the faint of heart. The story is really tough to watch, and if I hadn’t known how it turned out in the end, then I might not have enjoyed it as much. By contrast, my wife said it made her “want to die” especially when they were sleeping in the subway bathroom. But the story and the lesson are worth the pain and part of the experience is living through Chris Gardner’s pain with him so you get to experience the jubilee of success with him as well.
