Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

angelinaroselina This was an amazingly done movie. I loved how nurturing Chris was with his son and all of the crazy circumstances that he went through to keep his safe. I love that he wanted to be a good father to his son because Chris never knew his dad as he grew up. Even though this was not a blatantly "Christian movie", it definitely had Christian elements. Throughout the movie, I was able to find the elements of faith, mercy, and hospitality, along with many more. I would highly recommend watching "The Pursuit of Happyness".

Martino Savorani Two hours following the falling of a man and his child since to become homeless. Will Smith is a great actor, but the movie is so boring! The dialogues are artificiously, full of beautiful words in the Hollywood style: shiny but unreal. The biggest problem of The Pursuit of Happyness is its own meaning: Happiness = Money. Maybe you can cry watching this movie, but you will cry for a very poor reason, and the day after you'll have completely forgot the movie.

Dominic LeRose Will Smith's powerful performance as struggling working man Chris Gardener is a truly special achievement. "The Pursuit of Happyness" (spelled incorrectly on purpose) is a feel-good tear-jerker that both inspires and and hits the heart. Will Smith and his real life son Jaden have great chemistry and form a beautiful on-screen bond as homeless and poor people struggling to get buy in San Fransisco. With Smith narrating as his real-life character throughout the film smoothly transitions from one scene to the next, the story being played out freshly and organized. This is the kind of movie out walk out feeling great and inspired. It's a testament to working class and poor people, and a beautiful tribute to persistence and hope.

slightlymad22 Continuing my plan to watch every Will Smith movie in order, I come to Pursuit Of Happiness (2006)Plot In A Paragraph: Chris Gardner (Will Smith) a struggling salesman, takes custody of his son as he's poised to begin a life-changing professional career.I think this is a great movie and features a great Will Smith performance, but it's one I never revisit, as it's such a tough watch. Until the final 10 minuted, it's a seriously depressing movie. You feel so sorry for Chris, as despite him trying his best, he simply can't catch a break.Jaden Smith was fine, Thandie Newton puts it a defent shift, but this movie is all about Smith's performance, he was deservedly nominated for an Oscar, and can consider himself unlucky not to have won. That is taking nothing away from Forest Whitaker, he was great too.It was one of the greatest frustrations of my life, that I never could do a rubix cube. I spent hours trying to achieve the feat.Pursuit Of Happiness grossed $163 million at the domestic box office, to end the year the 10th highest grossing movie of 2006.
