Amazon.com essential video:
John Guare's hit Broadway play--about an Upper East Side couple who gets bilked by a young black man claiming to be Sidney Poitier's son--receives a terrific screen translation in this film by Fred Schepisi. Though the play was discursive and episodic, Schepisi, working from Guare's adaptation, makes it all flow like a fascinating evening listening to friends recount something that happened to them. But the story itself is also intriguing for the disparity it reveals between the wealthy, the would-be wealthy, and the have-nots yearning to be rich. Stockard Channing and Donald Sutherland are exceptional as the couple who open their home to a young man they believe is a friend of their children (to whom they barely speak); Will Smith is fascinatingly glib as the young man, who claims that his famous father is casting a film version of Cats and offers his hosts roles as extras in the film. Smith finds the heartbreaking core of this character and Channing is haunting as a woman looking to make a connection, even with a confused young con artist. --Marshall Fine

Rating:  - How far would you go to feel that connection?
I had heard many good things about `Six Degrees of Separation', especially when in regards to Will Smith's performance. Finally, a few nights back, I had the chance to check it out and I must say that Will Smith is not the only reason to watch this fantastic film; in fact there is so much good going here I'm shocked the only recognition the film received was a mere Best Actress nomination for Stockard Channing (who is phenomenal).

Rating:  - Will Smith is brilliant
Imagine a cast with the great Donald Sutherland, Ian McKellen and Stockard Channing being overshadowed by a young and very talented Will Smith, who plays a con artist extraordinaire. It is a story with twists and turns, and great acting by all; and it portrays grand living in New York City by those who can afford it--and those who aspire to afford it, namely Smith's character.

Rating: - Will Smith's only good film to date
Will's movies have never done much for me. They're all forgettable or unwatchable except for Six Degrees of Separation. In this, Will plays neither a comic character nor an action figure. He plays a young poor psychologically disturbed homosexual man who wants acceptance among the upper class of society and will do anything to achieve it.
You sympathize with him and feel for him because it's clear that he has so much potential and had his life circumstances been different, he could be a shining ... Read More
Rating: - Will Smith Refused to Kiss Man On Screen
This is a great movie despite the fact that homophobic Will Smith refused to kiss a male co-actor on screen. The shot had to be done from the back of Smith's head and it looks totally forced and fake.
If Will Smith is so uptight about his masculine credentials, he should have been a real man and bowed out of the flick before they started filming.
I hope he never wins an Oscar.
