We all have two lives: the one we are born with, and the one we try and create for ourselves. Will Smith makes his compelling dramatic debut as Paul, a man who shows up at the doorstep of two affluent art dealers, claiming to need help after a Central Park mugging. Presenting himself as a Harvard Man, a friend of their children and the son of Sidney Poitier, he charms the couple with stories of his father and ends up staying the night. In the morning, however, we find out that “Paul” is a conman, and his ruse will have repercussions that will change one family in ways they never imagined. “Hilarious! Touching! Magic!” Rolling Stone
The story of a young, gay, black, con artist who, posing as the son of Sidney Poitier, cunningly maneuvers his way into the lives of a white, upper-class New York family.

Amazing film!Will Smith and Stockard Channing really deliver in this film. A great story with accurate representation that makes you think..Score: 5/5
Kaleidoscopic, like KandinskyFred Schepsi's adaptation of John Guare's play (based on the real-life exploits of conman David Hampton) is a scintillating, intelligent and witty rumination on class, generations, race, sexuality, the American dream, the emigrant dream, and J.D. Salinger. Stockard Channing (who originated the stage role) is revelatory as Ouisa. Donald Sutherland is both foreboding and charming as Ouisa's husband, Flan: the brief scene wherein he describes his dream of the third grade is quite possibly his most memorable minute on film. The real discovery, of course, is Will Smith, making his film debut here, a strong one. He's the reason I pronounce "bottle of beer" the way I do. If you haven't seen this film yet, see it, at least to understand my references. You'll be glad you did..Score: 5/5
Chaos Control Chaos ControlYou will like. You will like. Stockard Channing, whose own social background reveals itself in this marvellous re-interpretation of her stage role as Ouisa Kitteridge, Upper East Side matron, is outstanding in this elegant pastiche of a film. Even the usually mannered (yet endearing) acting of Donald Sutherland seems tailor-made for his role as an art dealer who is always closing, especially since his coop-and-doorman lifestyle depends on millions, and not thousands to keep it going. And what can one say about the astonishing performance put in by Will Smith. This is the role he was born to play, and despite his rumoured diffidence on set to go full Monty during the gay scenes (such as the kiss), he will have you mesmerised as much as the main characters were with his enveloping patter. If there's any negative, it's that as soon as the "reveal" happens, the film slides into melancholy, and loses its chic edge. But this also reminds us that behind those Fifth Avenue apartments' windows, not all is fruit baskets and champagne..Score: 5/5

ContrivedCouldn't stand the characters - shallow and foolish. I felt like the story was "trying" too hard to be sophisticated and intellectual. It came across as contrived and forced. The children characters were way over the top exaggerated rebellious brats. Hated this movie..Score: 1/5

Six Degrees of SeparationWith the great cast, I thought this movie would be a winner. WRONG. It was painful. Truly painful..Score: 1/5
An excellent adaptation of a Brilliant Play ...I have watched this movie at least a dozen times, it's excellent. Rarely do you get such an adaptation from a top rated Broadway play, so well executed as a movie. Will Smith is definitely played against his regular type, which makes for a very interesting sub-twist to the plot. I feel uplifted and hopeful after each viewing, truly a classic. Added bonus, if you love New York City, this movie showcases it at it's humanist best! (Whatever that means ... ) A word of caution, if you are into 12 year old boy's humor, you really won't like this movie at all ... nothing, "blow'd up real good" ....Score: 5/5
