The Fresh Prince of Bel Air

Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped for a Dooyoo crown, Now I'd like to take a minute just sit right there and I'll tell you all about the Prince of Bel Air. I admit that the original was a lot better but I deserve some points for that right? Ok maybe not...but onto my review of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air is the fairly short running tv programme that starred Will Smith as the main character. After being forced to move from his home in a poor area of Philadelphia to the posh Bel Air home of his uncle, the programme follows Will's attempts to adapt to his new life and ...  Read the complete review

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air - a show about a kid growing up on the streets of Philadelphia, who has to move to Bel Air because he got in a fight. Doesn't really seem a good enough reason but never mind. He lives with his Uncle, Aunt and 3 counsins. (Which will eventually become 4). This was the show which launched Will Smith's acting career, however the character he portrays is noticeably annoying a lot of the time. Constant overacting and breaking the 4th wall really don't help him in this show, and now it's difficult to look beyond Will Smith's goofy acting, at least for me. This doesn't in any way help the show. It can be good for cheap laughs ...  Read the complete review

Welcome to the birth of Will Smith, well not literally obviously! However this is where it all started. Back in 1990 TV screens were introduced to the Will Smith, 20 years later he is one of the biggest actors in the world. It's easy to say Fresh Prince is all about Will Smith himself, after all the plot of the show is about him, but what made Fresh Prince such a success was the whole cast. It's a real shame the rest of the main crew haven't got onto to have great success because I loved them to bits. Looking at IMDB all of them went onto other TV shows and films, most noticeably James Avery (Phillip Banks) who has racked up over 60 other appearances yet I genuinely ...  Read the complete review
