Review: The Pursuit of Happyness

The Pursuit of Happyness stars Will Smith and is inspired by a true story. This is a film of love and sacrifice and persistence. It is the story of a man who finds one avenue of life isn't working, so he stretches beyond the odds and tackles another possibility. It costs him his wife, he ends up losing his home, but through it all, he and his son are together and they defeat the odds. This is a feel good story, but before you get to the feel good part, you are going to feel bad. You are going to find yourself unable to believe what a person can take and how they can pick themselves up and keep on going. You are going to find yourself maybe kicking yourself in the butt a little bit (or a lot) for not showing a tenth of the iniaitive in life as Chris Gardner(played by Will Smith) does in this movie.

If you haven't seen this spectacular film yet, don't wait anymore! Rent it or buy it or borrow it from a friend. This drama will touch your heart and give you a new understanding of Thomas Jefferson's words: "The right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
