I can't find a reason why to not dislike this film. The acting and story plot are all brilliant. This is the type of movie that makes me have a better positive outlook on life and makes me feel fortunate of the family I was raised by. This movie does show the tough circumstances of being a foster kid as many foster parents can be abusive. With the urge of his psychiatrist, he seeks out to find his biological family. This is defiantly a feel good movie about the positive outlooks of life. It can help people feel better about themselves and make them feel more appreciated. Denzel Washington does a good job for his first time of directing a movie. Denzel Washington probably made the movie of what is now. Without Denzel in this movie, the movie might of not been as good. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone. Anyone who likes dramas should see it because for one, there can't be a reason to not like Denzel as he is one of the most talented actors to come to screen.

Antwone Fisher is a movie about self discovery, but also about the emotional inertia that moves us to the places we end up to be.Antwone Fisher has his options already narrowed because of the place where he was born and the parents he had. His life is a reflection of a sad statistic, and he can hardly blame others to what happened to him because, as his psychologist mentioned, is the result of passing the same treatment generation after generation.Antwone Fisher made me think about how important is to know the forces that, often without your explicit knowledge, push you where you are, and if you don't like the places where these forces carry you, to know that there is a way out.This is not a hero movie, nor a movie of beggar turned millionaire. Is a movie about the path of self-discovery and self-healing.Key phrase: "Sorry Mr. Director, but the chick is way too pretty for that kid"

This is one of my all time favorites. Simple story about a complicated sailor (Derek Luke)prone to emotional outbursts. He starts seeing a naval psychologist (the fabulous Denzel Washington) who helps him sort through his demons, reflect on his past, and find the family he never knew. Raised in an abusive foster home, he is determined to make something of himself, and try to put the daunting past behind him. Along the way he gets a girlfriend who helps him and encourages him to find himself, and search for his roots. One of the coolest endings in a movie. I get teary-eyed every time.AWESOME movie!!!

I was flicking through the TV channels and ended up on the Antwone Fisher story. for me as a white Australian woman, this really a movie that should be told over and over and over, till anyone who thinks it's fine to treat people different because of color will never treat them different again. it's a happy, sad, heart warming and joyful at the same time. the next time i flick to see whats on the telly, i really hope it;s a great movie like this one was. threw family's falling apart then years later getting together, it's worth all the tears on the way. it does not matter how are we get hit down threw life, as any color of race, we all survive and love the people that are there for us threw the tough times and there at the other end. my though is never let life pull you so down that you don't think you could ever get up again. as life is really way to short. so go and live life your going to die threw the night.
