The Pursuit of Happyness

Today I watched this great movie that stars Will Smith and his son Jaden, who go through terrible hardships that you want to help any way that you can to make their life better.  This is based on the life of Chris Gardner, who is in the movie.  He is walking past Will and his son at the end of the movie.

This is one of the do not miss it movies that you will want to watch again.  This was my second time to view the movie.  I didn't realize Chris Gardner was in the movie the first time.

Don't skip the special features, as you will learn a lot about the making of the film and certainly listen to Chris talk about his life.  He is an amazing person.  The Rubik's Cube information was eye opening.  I found the song made me sad.  This is a great choice for the entire family to view together.

I laughed when I saw my mail Mother Toad. Thanks everyone.

I have just watched the movie again and so glad I purchased the movie.

I just rented it the other day, but wasn't all that impressed with it. I thought it was okay, but not as good as I'd expected.

I saw this movie as well. It was so touching and the story of the main character really shows that if you are motivated enough, you can get anywhere you want to go.

I should get this and watch it. It sounds very uplifting.

I've read the book but only saw the first five minutes of the movie. Come check out my review of the book the movie was based on!
