The Pursuit of Happyness

So the movie that you see over break that changes your life forever...for me that movie was The Pursuit of Happyness! I loved this movie! One of Will Smith's best performances yet. On that note, this is a great first movie for his son, Jaden Smith. For this to be his first movie, he did an incredible job. I see him having a real future in the acting biz! So anyway, I'll give you the storyline of the movie.

Will Smith plays the character Chris Gardner, a man who invests his life savings in a fluke business and lands his family in the poorhouse. At his lowest point he learns about an internship at a brokerage firm, and decides to go for it. The movie depicts the story of his struggle.

I have to say, this movie had me on the verge of tears. It inspired me in a way I haven't been inspired in a while. It's just a welcome change of pace from the movies lacking any mental capacity of this generation. It was completely well written, and you could completely identify with the character and his struggles. Even if you've never lived what Chris lived, the film brings you in and makes you a part of his life. Well written, well shot, and well portrayed!

I give Pursuit of Happyness 5 out of 5 stars: *****!
