The only knock on this movie is that we know how it ends. If this were fiction, there would be drama. But there’s also the enjoyment of knowing that this is a true story. This family does overcome the obstacles in their path. That’s far better than any dramatic fiction they could have provided.
The acting by every character was spot on. The girls, Saniyya Sidney as Venus, and Demi Singleton as Serena, were great. Kudos to both them and the director Reinaldo Marcus Green.

Obviously, this movie focuses on Will Smith as Richard Williams. I don’t know if this is his best role/performance, but it’s one of the contenders. And that’s saying a lot for Will Smith because his best is some of the best ever.
Grade: A
About The Peetimes: All of the Peetimes are pretty good, but I would recommend the third Peetime above the others. The last Peetime has a nice short scene between the mothers and daughters that is inspirational. That’s why I made that one an emergency Peetime.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let's you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It's really a wonderful app. I've subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn't seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven't tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn't make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We'll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.

There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of King Richard. (What we mean by Anything Extra.)

Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
