Summary: The Pursuit of Happyness does everything a great movie is supposed to do!
Comment: We sat on the edge of the couch until the last scene, and then we cried because we were so happy. THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS is one of those movies you must see in your lifetime. It does everything a great movie is supposed to do. It takes the viewers out of themselves and puts them into the movie.
The acting was perfect. It never felt as though the people were playing roles. It seemed we were looking into their lives. Jaden Smith was incredibly good in his part.
If the story had been fiction, I would have complained that it was too farfetched to happen; but since it really did happen, I simply have to admire the man who struggled with superhuman strength to be all the man he could be day after day.
It made me think of the times when my life was more than I thought I could bear. (I've been there! Solomon's Porch: The Story of Ben and Rose) And it made me think of how much better most of us have it every day than Will Smith's character Chris Gardner had it.
My favorite scene in the movie was the church scene, in which the struggling man and his son depicted a reliance on God when they were near the end of their rope.
I hope you enjoy this movie soon.

Customer Rating:
Summary: From the Depths of Despair to Success and Happyness
Comment: The power of intention is prevalent in this film (based on a true story), but in a much more personal way. Chris finds himself broke, divorced, and the primary caretaker of his young son.
You will find yourself riveted to the screen as you follow along his painful and arduous journey as Chris digs deep within to find the success and happyness that we all deserve.
If this film doesn't make you believe in the power of the human spirit and positive thinking then nothing will.

Summary: Success is constantly having a purpose.
Comment: "The Pursuit of Happyness" is a great representation of two stories of success. The film is based on the real life of Chris Gardner, a San Francisco salesman who met tremendous struggles before finding the present for himself and his family. By the end of the story, you appreciate not only how far Gardner has come as a human being, but also how far Will Smith has come, as an actor. Inspirational almost doesn't say enough about this film, but is enough of a reason to watch it. The supporting roles are cast very well, one of them being Will's "real life" son, and the plot itself leaves many different moments to be remembered and, in the end, enjoyed (one which started a Rubik's Cube craze). The last scene of the film, my favorite, is worth catching on YouTube, even if you don't care to see the rest.
There are some factual inaccuracies, but if you want my take on that, read my review for "A Beautiful Mind."
