The Pursuit of Happyness

Synopsis: Will Smith plays a father who finds himself without a job, a wife or a car and facing rent, parking tickets and taxes while trying to take care of his son. He joins an unpaid internship to become a stockbroker and at the end of the internship, only one person is chosen out of around 20 to get the job. It is a uphill battle the whole way and definitely emotionally tiring.

I think that in the times we live in, people are always expecting action-packed movies. They want to be kept on their toes. We live in an ADD world where many people have a hard time sitting through anything that isn't constantly fast-paced. This movie was worth the extra effort. It was a little slow, a little sad the whole time, but it paid off in the end. I, personally, thought Will Smith was more than excellent in this role. And his son, who plays his son in the movie, was surprisingly refreshing for his first big movie role. It was given bad reviews by some, but i think it you take the time to chill and just watch it, it is well worth it.

Final Say: Worth seeing!
