At least it's better than the c**p he's been appearing in. I'll give it a rent. Missed it on TNT
This was okay. A little too syrupy and melodramatic like an old ABC after-school special, at times, but at least Cuba Gooding, Jr. got to portray the extraordinary real-life story of a black person who accomplished something other than becoming a great musician or a pro athlete. More stories like Dr. Ben Carson's need to be told on the big and small screens.



I would've never thought the day would come, where Cuba's name was mentioned alongside the word "gifted".
